Lefortovsky Bridge, Stone vehicular bridge in Lefortovo District, Moscow, Russia
Description
The Lefortovsky Bridge is a stone vehicular bridge that crosses the Yauza River and connects both sides of the Lefortovo District in eastern Moscow. Its solid construction with massive arches shapes the appearance of this riverbank to this day.
History
The bridge was built during Emperor Paul's reign and is the oldest surviving bridge in Moscow. It has maintained its original form since the late 18th century and continues to serve as a crossing over the river.
Culture
The bridge's name comes from Peter the Great and his favored residence in this district, where Italian architects once worked. The area around the structure still shows traces of these European influences in its buildings and layout.
Practical
The bridge is located near three metro stations: Aviamotornaya, Baumanskaya, and Elektrozavodskaya, making it easy to reach. Both vehicle lanes and pedestrian paths are always available, allowing regular use by cars and people on foot.
Did you know?
The bridge stands near the Combined Arms Academy and offers views of red-brick facades and a baroque grotto in nearby Lefortovo Park. This scenic aspect makes it more than just a traffic structure for visitors and residents.
