Maly Kamenny Bridge

The Maly Kamenny Bridge is a concrete and steel structure that spans the Vodootvodny Canal between Serafimovicha and Bolshaya Polyanka streets. It rises roughly 2 meters (6.5 feet) above the water level and carries both foot and vehicle traffic across this waterway in central Moscow.

The bridge was built in 1938 during Moscow's major infrastructure expansion and replaced an earlier stone structure that gave it its name. It emerged as the city systematically opened its waterways to modern transportation needs.

The name references an earlier structure that once stood in this location, connecting two central Moscow streets that remain important routes today. It shows how the city wove its waterways into modern transportation networks.

The bridge is easily accessible from both main streets and provides clear pathways for pedestrians and vehicles. During rainy periods, the surface can become slippery, so exercise caution when crossing.

The structure takes its name from a much older stone crossing that stood at this location before the 1938 replacement. This continuity in naming reflects how certain routes become so important to a city that they keep their identity through generations.
