60 years of Victory bridge, Road bridge across Irtysh River in Omsk, Russia.
The Bridge of the 60th Anniversary of Victory, known locally as the Metromost, is a combined road and metro bridge over the Irtysh in Omsk. Its road deck links Frunze Street with Konev Street, and a reserved span was built for a metro link between the Zarechnaya and Pushkin Library stations. The structure was erected by Omskstroymost-Mostotryad-63.
Construction began in 1993 with the first pile driven, but proceeded slowly until a December 2000 governor's decree allocated regional funds. In September 2004 the bridge was named for the 60th anniversary of Victory, and it opened on 18 October 2005. Its dam cut the Zamarayka River, affecting the nearby Ptichya Gavan nature park.
Locals call it simply "Metromost", because the span was built to carry a metro line between the stations Zarechnaya and Pushkin Library, a line that never opened. The name 60 Years of Victory was assigned by a regional governor's decree in September 2004, ahead of the opening on 18 October 2005.
The road deck links Frunze Street on the right bank with Konev Street on the left bank; the metro deck above it was built for the planned Zarechnaya–Pushkin Library line, which never opened. The dam built for the bridge cut the Zamarayka River in its middle course, affecting the nearby Ptichya Gavan nature park. Check current access for cars and pedestrians before crossing.
