Borisovsky Bridges

Borisovsky Bridges are two parallel concrete arch structures spanning the Moskva River and connecting the Kashirskye Highway across southern Moscow. The paired design accommodates separate traffic lanes for vehicles and pedestrians on each side of the structures.

The bridges opened in 1972 as part of Moscow's Soviet-era infrastructure expansion that connected southern districts more directly to the city center. They marked an important step in relieving traffic congestion during rapid urban growth.

The bridges serve as gathering spots where local residents pause to watch the river and enjoy seasonal changes along the waterway. People use the pedestrian walkways to stroll and experience how the Moskva River flows through this part of the city.

The bridges are open to pedestrians at all times with clear walkways separated from vehicle traffic. You can cross safely and enjoy views of the river and surrounding area from the elevated vantage point.

A local steel manufacturing plant produced the metal components specifically for these structures during construction. The design later served as a model for similar infrastructure projects developed across other regions of Russia.
