Nagatinsky Metro Bridge, Metro bridge in Moscow, Russia
The Nagatinsky Metro Bridge is a combined bridge over the Moskva River carrying both metro trains on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line and road traffic on Andropov Prospekt. Its 233-metre deck rests on thick concrete piers, with a continuous row of small enclosed structures with dark blue glazing along the top edge. The span is a continuous reinforced concrete beam assembled from blocks joined with epoxy glue.
Construction of the bridge took place during the mid-1960s as part of Moscow Metro's expansion toward the southern regions. Its opening in August 1969 connected newly developed residential areas to the city center.
The bridge carries both metro trains and cars on one level, with three lanes in each direction of Andropov Prospekt. Its name comes from the Nagatino district it links to Kozhukhovo. The span was built on solid ground in 1969, and the Nagatinsky canal was dug beneath it two years later.
The bridge accommodates thousands of commuters daily and connects several stations across southern Moscow. Best views can be found from the Moskva River banks or from the nearby metro stations.
The bridge is a combined structure: metro trains and cars run on the same level, with three lanes in each direction on Andropov Prospekt. It is the longest of Moscow's metro bridges at 233 metres, with a 114-metre river span. The approach ramps are concrete viaducts with garages built inside them.
