Bogdan Khmelnitsky Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in Khamovniki District, Moscow, Russia

Bogdan Khmelnitsky Bridge is a 235-metre pedestrian crossing over the Moskva River linking the Berezhkovskaya and Rostovskaya embankments. Its main span of 135 metres rests on the arch of the old Krasnoluzhsky railway bridge, now hidden under a blue glass hood. The reinforced-concrete piers stand in the river channel, and the glazed galleries house shops, kiosks and cafeterias, with balconies used as viewing platforms.

The bridge incorporates the 135-metre, 1,400-tonne main span of the Krasnoluzhsky Railway Bridge, built in 1905–1907 to designs by architect Alexander Pomerantsev and engineer Lavr Proskuryakov. On 31 August 2000 the span was moved about 2.5 km upstream by the construction corporation Transstroy and set on new piers. It opened as Kievsky Pedestrian Bridge on 1 September 2001 and was renamed for Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky three years later.

The bridge carries the name of an important historical leader and serves as a connection between two city neighborhoods. Passersby notice how the covered walkway allows people to move through the space regardless of weather, making it a practical part of daily city life.

The bridge links Berezhkovskaya Embankment in Dorogomilovo with Rostovskaya Embankment in Khamovniki, about 230 metres from the Kievskaya metro station. Buses m17, 91, 91k, 119, 266, 320, 394, 791, t7 and t34 stop along Berezhkovskaya Embankment, bus 216 along Rostovskaya. Balconies on the span serve as viewing platforms.

In February 2002, the crossing hosted a world record gathering when more than 2,200 people kissed simultaneously, transforming it into a symbol for couples in love. This singular event remains a memorable part of the bridge's story.
