Avtozavodskiy bridge, Road bridge along Third Ring Road, Moscow, Russia.
Avtozavodskiy Bridge is a road crossing over the Moscow River that links several districts of the Russian capital. It has six lanes for vehicles and pedestrian paths running along both sides.
This crossing was completed in 1961 and replaced an older wooden bridge that had served the area since after the First World War. It was built during the Soviet period when Moscow was expanding its industrial infrastructure.
The bridge design represents Soviet engineering principles of the mid-20th century, incorporating structural elements characteristic of that period's architectural standards.
The crossing is designed for both cars and pedestrians and sees heavy use during commute hours. Walking across is easier during off-peak times when vehicle traffic is lighter.
The name Avtozavodskiy reflects the bridge's proximity to automobile factories, highlighting the industrial development of Moscow during the Soviet era.
