Instructions
Step 1
On May 1, 1938, a three-span suspension bridge called Krymsky was opened. The facility was built on the Moskva River and connects Krymskiy Val Street with Krymskaya Square. It got its name from the ford of the same name, through which the Tatars-Mongols crossed during the invasion of Russia. In 2001, the bridge was reconstructed with the replacement of sidewalks and pavements. It is the only suspension bridge in Moscow and a unique type of construction in the world.
Step 2
The symbol of Moscow, along with the Kremlin cathedrals, is the large Stone Bridge. It begins its history in 1687, when, by order of the tsar, the first stone bridge in the world was erected across the river. He served until 1859. In 1938, a modern metal bridge was built in its place. The attraction attracts many tourists, as it offers amazing views of the Kremlin, the Moskva River, the Embankment and the Pashkov House.
Step 3
One of the examples of modern architecture is the Patriarch Bridge, built in 2004. It originates from the Cathedral of the Savior and connects two embankments - Bersenevskaya and Prechistenskaya. The bridge has the style of traditional architecture of the 19th century. It is decorated with antique lanterns and openwork lattices. After the opening, the Patriarshy Bridge became a popular place for newlyweds and couples in love. New "locks of love" appear on its fence every day. Also, it was here that President Dmitry Medvedev in 2008-2011 recorded New Year's messages to the people.
Step 4
In Moscow, there is another structure worthy of contemplation - this is the Pushkin Bridge. It is pedestrianized and is a translucent long gallery. It was built in 2004 on the site of the old Andreevsky Bridge. The attraction connects Pushkinskaya and Frunzenskaya embankments on the territory of the Neskuchny garden. In summer, dancers from various clubs and studios gather here and arrange dances. Also, exhibitions and fairs of craftsmen are held on the bridge. The structure from a distance resembles a ship, which has both an open deck and a closed, glazed one.
Step 5
There is the only trade and pedestrian bridge in Moscow. It is named after the great commander Bagration and was built to celebrate the 850th anniversary of Moscow. The structure combines the functions of commercial and entertainment facilities and parts of the transport system. It fits harmoniously into the landscape of the new Moscow City buildings. The bridge is heated in winter.
