Krylatskiy bridge, Road bridge in Moscow, Russia
Krylatskiy Bridge is a steel single-span beam bridge over the Moskva River, linking Nizhniye Mnevniki and Terekhovo with Krylatskoye. Its continuous steel beam has spans of 51.2 + 90.0 + 51.2 m, carried by two box girders 2.5 m high and 2.74 m wide under an orthotropic deck. The girders rest on two shared V-shaped supports; the bridge is 25.4 m wide, with an 18.0 m roadway of four lanes.
The old Krylatsky Bridge was built in 1983 to a design by B. A. Gorozhanin, constructed by the team of Mostootryad No. 4. On 3 November 1983, buses of the new route No. 691 began running across it. A duplicate bridge was later added as part of the North-Western Chord.
The bridge carries the name Krylatsky after the Krylatskoye district it links to the right bank. Since 3 November 1983 buses of route No. 691 have run across it, and today it forms part of the North-Western chord, a road artery that channels traffic across the Moskva River.
The bridge is easy to cross on foot or by bicycle with plenty of space for both. Walking during daylight hours is most comfortable, and the adjacent riverbanks offer good access to the area.
