        • 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.

        🌅 Andreevsky Bridge
        A 1907 arched railway bridge moved here in 1999–2000, with a covered glass gallery above the Moskva River.
        The finale in a glass gallery above the river: the lights of the embankments and Moscow City in the distance. If the gallery is closed, the same view is from the embankment by the bridge. It’s about 15 minutes to Frunzenskaya
