Second Shlyuzovoy Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in Krasnye Holmy, Moscow, Russia.
The Second Shlyuzovoy Bridge is a pedestrian footbridge in Krasnye Holmy that crosses the water to connect two neighborhoods. The structure uses two extending arms from pillars joined by a central section to create a complete path for people crossing on foot.
Built in 1997, the bridge replaced a temporary crossing structure that had served after an earlier 19th-century dam with locks was demolished. The new design created a permanent solution where the old provisional passage had been.
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 structure uses an innovative design with two extending arms roughly 9 meters long from each side that meet in the middle. This arrangement creates an elegant solution for spanning the water without needing large pillars in the center.
