Tessinskiy Bridge

Tessinskiy Bridge is a pedestrian bridge spanning the Yauza River and connecting two eastern residential areas of Moscow. The structure features multiple arches crossing the water, displaying construction details with classical iron elements.

Construction was completed in 1890 as Moscow expanded its infrastructure across waterways and opened new urban areas to development. This was part of a broader wave of bridge projects connecting the growing city.

The bridge is named after a 19th-century engineer and displays craftsmanship details visible when you walk across it. Its design shows how builders of that era approached construction and what materials they chose to work with.

The structure is used daily by many pedestrians and offers direct passage between residential areas. The walkway is level and easy to navigate, though it can get crowded during peak hours.

From here you can see both new buildings and older structures along the river banks. The view from this spot shows Moscow's layering of contemporary and earlier architecture in a clear way.
