The bridge is located at the intersection of the Griboedov Canal and the Kryukov Canal. The bridge received its name thanks to the name of the organizer and the head of construction works Pikalov. Pikalov Bridge together with Krasnogvardeisky and Staro-Nikolsky bridges forms a single architectural ensemble.
The bridge was built in 1783 - 1785 as a typical three-span wooden beam bridge on granite-faced pillars of rubble masonry. The central span opens for passage of the ships.
In 1905, major repairs were carried out during which the wooden beams were replaced with metal beams, and the opening span was changed to permanent.
On the middle supports of the bridge there are four granite obelisks, decorated with graceful lanterns.
