Luzhniki Metro Bridge, Double-deck arch bridge and metro station in Khamovniki District, Russia.
The Luzhniki Metro Bridge is a double-deck arch structure spanning the Moskva River with two distinct transportation levels. The upper deck carries road traffic while the lower level houses the Vorobyovy Gory metro station and pedestrian walkways.
The bridge first opened in 1959 as a major addition to Moscow's transportation network. A full reconstruction between 1997 and 2002 restored its structural integrity after decades of use.
The bridge links two major neighborhoods and takes its name from the nearby Luzhniki Stadium, providing locals and visitors with quick access to events and leisure areas. People use it daily as a connection that offers views of the city and the river from the elevated roadway.
When crossing on foot, you can use the pedestrian walkways on both levels, connected by stairs and elevators. Plan your route based on the time of day, as foot traffic and vehicle movement are separated into different zones.
This bridge is remarkable because it houses the only metro station in Moscow built above water. Placing stations below the water level presented technical challenges, so this location served as an unusual solution for the network.
