Vyazemsky Lane


Vyazemsky Lane is a side street in Petrogradsky District of Saint Petersburg, Russia. It connects Professora Popova Street with Sand Embankment.

Naming

In the 19th century this street was named Lavalev Street, then Zadny Lane, Glukhoy Lane, and finally Vyazemsky Lane, after the landowners, the Vyazemskys family. It was renamed Belgorodskaya Street on December 15, 1952, but a year later, on January 4, 1954, the original name was restored.

Street

The street is approximately 500 meters long. Although it is named as side street, it is wider than main avenues of Petrogradsky District: Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt and Bolshoy Avenue.
There are several apartment buildings, the 32nd polyclinic, the dormitory of Saint Petersburg State University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics, and Vyazemsky Garden.
