Kryukov Canal () is one of the canals in central Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Name
In 1738, the canal was named after the contractor Semyon Kryukov.
History
The Kryukov Canal runs from the Admiralteysky Canal in the area of the present Labor Square and all the way to the Fontanka River.
Kryukov Canal was originally dug in 1719âÂÂ1720 from the Neva River to the Moyka River for transport purposes. During the construction of part of the Annunciation Bridge, some water was piped through the present Labor Square. The water pipe has survived to this day.
Since 1830, the section from the Moyka to the Fontanka became called the Kryukov Canal. Granite embankments were built in 1801âÂÂ1807.
Geographic information
The length is 1.5 km, the width is up to 20 m, and the depth is 2 m. Together with the Admiralteysky Canal, the Kryukov Canal separates the New Holland Island from the Second Admiralteysky Island.
