Beloretsky footbridge

Beloretsky footbridge is a pedestrian crossing in Bashkortostan that spans across a deep valley using suspended steel cables. The structure rests on substantial concrete pylons set into the rocky terrain below.

Construction began in 1935 as a major infrastructure project for the eastern Bashkortostan region. The project opened new routes between isolated communities separated by mountain terrain.

The footbridge stands as a testament to Soviet engineering practices while connecting multiple communities within the mountainous landscape of Bashkortostan.

The crossing can be reached from Beloretsk town via local roads that descend into the valley. Access conditions vary depending on weather and season throughout the year.

The bridge sits at a high elevation above the valley, allowing walkers to see across the surrounding mountain ridges. This position makes it a natural vantage point for observing the Ural landscape from above.
