Bogatyrskiy Bridge, Road and tram bridge in northern Moscow, Russia.
The Bogatyrskiy Bridge spans the Yauza River with separate roadways for vehicles and tram lines. The structure features independent systems that allow traffic and public transit to operate on the same crossing.
The bridge was built in 1911 based on designs by N.I. Oskolkov and M.I. Schekotov using steel girder systems. It became an early model for how Moscow integrated road and tram transportation within expanding infrastructure.
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 was among the first structures in Moscow to deliberately combine two different traffic types with fully separate systems. This design approach later influenced many other transportation crossings built in the city.
