The Novosibirsk Rail Bridge is a single-track railway bridge across the Ob River. Originally constructed as part of the Trans-Siberian Railway mainline, the bridge had originally only one track. It was designed by Nikolai Belelubsky and constructed between 1893 and 1897, with the location chosen by Nikolai Garin-Mikhailovsky. The decision to begin construction near Krivoschekovo village (Russian: Кривощёково) is thought to have played a role in the establishment of Novosibirsk.
