[[Lomonosov Bridge]] in Saint Petersburg was named after the polymath. Originally called Tchernyshov Bridge (Chernyshev Bridge) in honour of {{ill|Count Grigory Tchernyshov (Chernyshev)|ru|Чернышёв, Григорий Петрович}} one of Peter the Great's most prominent generals, whose estates were located nearby, the bridge was erected in 1785−1987, and replaced a wooden bridge which had previously stood at the site. It was one of seven moveable stone bridges of similar design crossing the Fontanka River, built simultaneously with the river's granite embankments. Only Lomonosov Bridge and [[Staro-Kalinkin Bridge]] have survived more or less intact.
