1-03. Temporary bridge to Solombala, and a tram crossing over the ice - looking from Solombala.
Car of 'the Domestic' type.
A temporary wooden bridge over the Kuznechikha River was erected each May every year since the early 1900's, and disassembled prior to the ice-flow. Next to the bridge, a tramway line over the ice connecting the Solombala network to the city center operated during winters between 20.01.1917-03.1917, 11.1917-01.01.1918, 11.1922-03.1923 and 11.1923-19.02.1924. A permanent wooden bridge with tramway tracks was opened on 19.02.1924, but lasted only until 05.1925. Trams operated over the ice from 11.1925 on again. During some winters the temporary bridge would be built, during others trams would operate over the ice. The practice lasted well into the 1930s. A permanent bridge with a permanent tramway link was opened nearby in 1956.

1-11. First wooden bridge over the Solombalka Creek.
Car of 'the Domestic' type by the Mytischinskiy Plant + trailer of 'the Old Moscow' type.
This is the first version of the bridge, photographed in the year of the opening of the Pervykh Pyatiletok line. Eleven trailers of 'the Old Moscow' type were bought second-hand from the 'graveyard' in Moscow in 1920-1921, and put in service in Arkhangelsk in 1925-1931.

This structure conveys more permanency than its predecessor, but it will also be replaced in the future. The early Soviet standard 'Kh+M' cars operated in the city since 1931.
