Andreyevsky Bridge

The Andreyevsky Bridge complex consists of two separate structures: a railway bridge serving the Moscow Inner Ring and a pedestrian footbridge spanning the Moskva River. The ensemble features a through-arch design and connects Khamovniki District with Gorky Park on the opposite bank.

Engineers Lavr Proskuryakov and Alexander Pomerantsev designed the original steel arch bridge in 1907, which proved its structural resilience during the 1908 flood. The structure underwent significant reconstruction in 2000.

The bridge's name shifted from Sergievsky to Andreyevsky after 1917, marking the removal of imperial references from public structures. This renaming reflects how the city reshaped its public identity during that period.

The pedestrian bridge offers direct access between Khamovniki District and Gorky Park with a straightforward, level walking surface. The railway bridge is not accessible to foot traffic but remains visible from the pedestrian crossing.

The original steel arch from the 1907 bridge was carefully preserved and repurposed in 2000 to form the new pedestrian structure. This recycling of historic components created a tangible connection between the old and new engineering.
