Brateyevsky Bridge, Road bridge in eastern Moscow, Russia
Brateyevsky Bridge is a road crossing over the Moskva River that links neighborhoods on both sides of the waterway with multiple traffic lanes. The structure follows a practical design built to handle the volume of vehicles moving through eastern Moscow daily.

Gorozhanin of Giprotransmost, with Mostotryad No. 4 as main contractor. It was originally planned as part of a fast road called Khovrino-Borisovo. On 1 March 2024 several thousand people crossed it to pay their last respects to A. A. Navalny.
The bridge's pedestrian stairs are placed at the four points where ship figures stand, two on each side.
