Sadovnichesky Bridge, Concrete pedestrian arch bridge in Zamoskvorechye district, Moscow, Russia
The Sadovnichesky Bridge spans across the Vodootvodny Canal with an arch that extends 32 meters in length and rises 6.2 meters high.
Engineers Nina Bragina, V.A. Korchagin, and K.P. Savelyev designed this bridge in 1963 as a dual-purpose structure for water pipes and pedestrian crossing.
The bridge structure reflects Moscow's engineering practices of the 1960s, incorporating prefabricated concrete panels despite economic considerations favoring in-situ concrete.
The bridge's unusually thick arches accommodate 75-centimeter water pipes while providing a 3.5-meter-wide pathway for pedestrians crossing between Balchug island and Zamoskvorechye.
Engineers nicknamed this structure Mastodon due to its substantial arch thickness, required to house the large water pipelines running through its core.
