Kerch railway bridge
The Kerch railway bridge (), also the Kerch Bridge (), was a Soviet Russian railway bridge across the Kerch Strait, a strait connecting the Black Sea with the Sea of Azov. Constructed in 1944–1945, it connected Chushka Spit of the Krasnodar Krai with the Kerch Peninsula of the Crimean ASSR. With a length of , it was the longest bridge in the Soviet Union.

Construction began in spring 1944 shortly after the liberation of Crimea by the Red Army. Materials left from an unbuilt bridge of the occupying German forces were used by the Soviets in the construction of their bridge, Although it was opened for transport in autumn that year, construction was still incomplete, and December 1944 storms halted construction. By that time only part of the protective starkwaters were completed, and in February 1945 ice severely damaged the bridge, destroying the bridge pillars. Repair proposals were rejected and remnants of the bridge were disassembled afterwards.
