Komissariatsky Bridge, Steel arch bridge in Zamoskvorechye District, Moscow, Russia
The Komissariatsky Bridge is a steel arch bridge that crosses the Vodootvodny Canal in Moscow's Zamoskvorechye District. It serves both vehicle and pedestrian traffic with its shallow concrete arch construction spanning the waterway.
A wooden bridge built in the 1850s originally stood at this location and took its name from a nearby military depot. The current steel structure was completed in 1927 to replace the aging wooden crossing.
The bridge serves as a connection point between different parts of Moscow, reflecting the engineering methods and architectural preferences of early 20th century Russia.
The bridge is easy to access and cross for visitors on foot or in vehicles without any special requirements. You can use it freely as part of the local street network any time.
The bridge was repositioned about 300 meters from its original location and began supporting tram traffic starting in 1960. This development marked an important shift in how the area connected different parts of Moscow.
