Bogatyrskiy Bridge, Road and tram bridge in northern Moscow, Russia.
The Bogatyrskiy Bridge is a brick road and tram bridge over the Yauza River in Moscow's Bogorodskoye district, part of the street of the same name. Its 28.8 m span is a brick vault, 21 m wide, carrying pedestrians, cars and trams, with stairways down to the embankments. It stands between the Oleniy Bridge and the Rostokino Aqueduct, beside the former Krasny Bogatyr plant.
A bridge already stood at this spot by 1894, when it appeared on the city plan; the first crossing here is thought to date from the late 19th century. The present Bogatyrskiy Bridge is dated 1912 in the structured record. It carries the street of the same name, linking Bogorodskoye Highway with Belokamennaya Highway near the former Krasny Bogatyr plant.
The bridge reflects early 20th century Russian engineering approaches and connects multiple districts as part of Moscow's expanding urban network. Its design shows how the city integrated transportation methods into its infrastructure development.
The bridge connects northern districts and allows smooth passage for both vehicles and trams. Visitors can walk across the structure and view the Yauza River from various points along the way.
The bridge's single brick arch span, 28.8 m long and 21 m wide, carries pedestrians, cars and trams over the Yauza. Staircase descents lead down to the embankments on either side. On the south side a blank factory fence once blocked the river view; with the closure of the Krasny Bogatyr plant and the opening of public spaces it lost its protective role and has mostly been removed elsewhere.
