Preobrazhensky Metro Bridge, Railway bridge in Preobrazhenskoye District, Moscow, Russia.
The Preobrazhensky Metro Bridge is a railway bridge that spans the Yauza River in Moscow, connecting two stations on the Sokolnicheskaya Line. The structure stretches about 330 meters and allows trains to move between the eastern parts of the city.
The bridge opened in late 1965 as part of Moscow's metro expansion during the Soviet industrial period. This expansion allowed the metro system to reach farther into eastern parts of the city and modernize transportation.
The bridge displays Soviet design principles from the 1960s, where function took priority over decoration. Visitors can notice this straightforward style in the clean lines and solid construction that reflect how Soviet engineers thought about modern building.
The bridge is part of daily metro service and visitors can use it when riding between the two stations. Access is through regular metro entrances at both ends of the connection.
Although this bridge ranks among Moscow's smaller metro connections, it carries thousands of passengers daily, showing how important it is for the eastern part of the city. Many residents pass over it without noticing its engineering feat.
