Nizhny Novgorod Metro Bridge, Transportation bridge in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
The Nizhny Novgorod Metro Bridge is a dual-level structure spanning the Oka River with two distinct traffic layers. The lower deck carries metro trains while the upper level accommodates vehicles and pedestrians.
Construction started in 1992 during a period of major economic change in Russia and the bridge opened to the public in 2009. This project marked a significant moment in the city's infrastructure development.
The bridge links two districts of the city and is crossed daily by thousands of residents using the metro or driving across. It has become woven into the fabric of daily life in Nizhny Novgorod.
The bridge can be crossed on foot and offers views of the river and city below. It is best visited during daylight hours when the views are clearest.
The bridge was one of Russia's first built specifically to carry trains and vehicles on separate levels. This ambitious design was pioneering for its time.
