Bolshoy Krasnokholmsky Bridge, Steel arch bridge in downtown Moscow, Russia.
Bolshoy Krasnokholmsky Bridge is a deck arch bridge that spans across the Moskva River, connecting the Tagansky and Zamoskvorechye districts of Moscow. The structure accommodates multiple traffic lanes and pedestrian pathways across its length.
An earlier bridge was built at this location by the Struwe brothers in the 1800s. The current structure was constructed in the late 1930s as part of Moscow's development during that period.
The bridge connects two neighborhoods on opposite sides of the river and carries daily traffic for Moscow residents and visitors alike. It functions as a practical link that people use without thinking much about its engineering beneath them.
The bridge is accessible on foot with dedicated pathways alongside the vehicle lanes. During peak hours traffic moves continuously, so allow time if you are crossing during busy periods.
The bridge underwent major renovation in the mid-2000s which modernized its appearance while keeping its original design intact. This work transformed it into one of the most up-to-date crossings of its kind in the city.
