Lakhtinsky crossover is a сrossing by railroad line of lake Lakhtinsky Razliv in St. Petersburg, Russia

At building of a first stage of the Primorskaya line on a stage Novaya Derevnya - Lakhta it was necessary to overcome lake Lakhtinsky Razliv. For this purpose engineer P. A. Avenarius in 1894 under own project has constructed Lakhtyinsky crossover. It was the 200-metre pile bridge which was settling down to in parallel Lahtinsky dam on which there was an overland road.[1]

Near to the bridge Shunting loop Dum and Shunting loop 2 verst has been arranged. Bridge was a considerable construction of time and has been opened on July, 12th 1894.[1]

Сatastrophic flooding of on September, 23rd 1924 has completely destroyed the bridge and it has been restored in 1925 on that place where exists now.[1]

As of 2009 on this place is metal one-flying deck girder bridge, which basis is the box-shaped beam on stone coastal foundations.
