Krymsky Bridge

The Krymsky Bridge stretches across the Moskva River with three spans, connecting Gorky Park to the Yakimanka District through a steel suspension system.

Engineers completed the construction of this metal structure in 1938 during Moscow's reconstruction plan, replacing an older pontoon bridge at this crossing point.

The bridge stands near the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art and links multiple exhibition spaces along the river, creating a central path for art exploration.

This 668-meter steel crossing provides pedestrian and vehicle access across the Moskva River, with dedicated lanes accommodating thousands of daily commuters.

Metal elements for the bridge construction, weighing ten thousand tons, came from the Novokramatorsk Machine-Building Plant, forming Moscow's only suspension bridge.
