🌅 Krymsky Bridge

A 1938 steel suspension bridge with openwork pylons, linking Gorky Park and Ostozhenka.

The bridge was built in 1938 to a design by architect Alexander Vlasov and engineer Boris Konstantinov.
The name is linked to the Crimean Ford and the courtyard where envoys from the Crimean Khanate stayed in the 16th–17th centuries.
Its predecessor was an iron bridge of 1873 with truss walls and pseudo-Gothic turrets at the approaches.
In 1936 the old bridge was moved 50 m downstream, and trams ran over it while the new one was built alongside.
A tram ran across Krymsky Bridge until 1957.
