Mitino Metrobridge, Transportation bridge across Moskva River, Moscow, Russia.
The Mitino Metrobridge is a railway bridge carrying metro trains over the Moskva River in northwestern Moscow. It stands as a concrete structure built to support the passage of trains while allowing water to flow naturally underneath.
Construction of the bridge was completed and it opened to traffic in December 2009 as an expansion of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line across the river. This connection allowed previously separated sections of the metro network to function together as a unified system.
The bridge links two residential areas and allows people living on different sides of the river to travel more easily between neighborhoods. It serves the daily commute for countless residents who depend on the metro system for work and leisure activities.
The bridge is not open to foot traffic as it is designed exclusively for metro trains traveling below street level. The best way to see it is from the riverbanks or while on a boat tour along the Moskva where the structure becomes visible.
The bridge was constructed using special engineering techniques to distribute the weight of heavy metro trains during operation. These technical solutions are not immediately obvious to observers, but they allow the structure to safely carry thousands of passengers across the river each day.
