The Konbayish Bridge crosses the Don River and connects the western areas of Rostov-on-Don. It carries both railway trains on its upper level and motor vehicles on the lower level.

The railway section opened in 1983 as the first crossing of the river at this location. Four years later in 1987, a road deck was added to serve vehicle traffic as well.

The bridge forms part of the western bypass of Rostov junction, connecting local communities and facilitating movement between leisure areas on both riverbanks.

The bridge is open daily for through traffic, though occasional maintenance on the structure is needed. Vehicles must observe weight restrictions that have been in place since inspections discovered structural concerns.

The construction employed an adhesive bonding method to join steel components instead of using traditional bolts and welds. This unusual building technique for a bridge of this era and scale makes it interesting to those curious about engineering solutions.
