Rizhskaya overpass, Elevated way near Rizhsky Railway Station, Moscow, Russia
The Rizhskaya overpass extends for 1038 meters across Moscow's urban landscape, featuring two parallel elevated roadways with a total width of 39.5 meters.
The eastern section of the Rizhskaya overpass opened in 1975 under engineer A.B. Druganov's supervision, while the western part completed the structure in 1999.
This elevated structure forms a crucial section of Moscow's Third Ring Road, connecting the Sushchevsky Val district with Gavrikova Street through central Moscow.
The overpass enables vehicles to bypass multiple railway tracks of the October Railway and Yaroslavsky Line, reducing travel time between Moscow's central and eastern districts.
Engineers selected an elevated design instead of a tunnel solution, requiring the partial demolition of the Rizhsky railway station's cargo yard for construction.
