It links the Krasnye Holmy business district on the island with the Paveletskaya Square area in Zamoskvorechye.

The Second Shlyuzovoy Bridge opened in 1996, not 1997. It was built between the Maly Krasnokholmsky and Shlyuzovoy bridges over the Vodootvodny Canal, linking the Krasnye Holmy business district on the island with the Paveletskaya Square area in Zamoskvorechye.
The bridge links two neighborhoods and reflects how Moscow invested in pedestrian pathways during urban renewal in the late 1990s. It shows the city's focus on making movement between districts easier for people on foot.
The bridge sits in central Moscow and offers pedestrians a direct route without crossing vehicle traffic. It remains accessible year-round and provides a straightforward way to move between the two neighborhoods.
The main arch's staircase is split by longitudinal railings into three parallel pedestrian lanes. From the north side, a pedestrian ramp joins the central part of the arch to the second level of the Krasnye Holmy business centre, so walkers can enter the complex without going down to the embankment.
