Kamenny Island is located between the Bolshaya Nevka and the Malaya Nevka rivers and the Krestovka River. There are many historical monuments, estates and villas of famous people, wrought iron fences and green parks. It is known that until the 1990s in the middle of one of the alleys of the island there was an oak planted by Peter the Great.

As for the Maly Canal, it was cut in the second half of the XIX century in parallel to the Bolshaya Nevka River.

There was a wooden bridge before for the passage of vehicles and pedestrians. The wooden bridge was repaired several times.

In 1937-1938 the bridge as other Kamennoostrovsky bridges was demolished due to the necessity of cleaning and dredging of the creek. After the canal dredging the bridge was rebuilt into a new single type three-span construction.
