Maly Krasnokholmsky Bridge, Concrete bridge over Vodootvodny Canal in Moscow, Russia.
The Maly Krasnokholmsky Bridge is a concrete structure spanning the Vodootvodny Canal and linking two major streets in Moscow. Its design includes vehicular lanes, wide pedestrian pathways on both sides, and multiple staircases that descend to the canal's embankments.
This structure was completed in 1938, replacing an older two-span iron bridge built in 1912. The replacement was part of a broader transformation of Moscow's street network during that era.
The bridge derives its name from the Red Hill, a historical elevation where Taganka Square now stands in the center of Moscow.
Crossing this bridge is straightforward with good accessibility for both foot traffic and vehicles across its level surface. The staircases to the embankments are well-maintained and allow easy access to the canal and surrounding areas.
The structure was designed by a team of engineers and architects including V.A. Pashchenko and Konstantinov, who specialized in modern construction techniques. Their collaboration resulted in a bridge that combines technical innovation with practical design.
