Novospassky Bridge

Novospassky Bridge (Russian: Новоспасский Мост, romanized: Novospasskiy Most) is a steel plate girder bridge that spans Moskva River, connecting Novospassky Monastery and Paveletsky rail terminal areas in Moscow, Russia (about 3 kilometers south-east from the Kremlin).

Wooden bridges at the site of fortified Novospassky monastery existed since 16th century.

This also enabled separating embankment and bridge traffic in two levels (street-level throughways under main deck), total length with ramps reached 502 meters.

Arches were replaced with a simple steel girder set covered with orthotropic deck, 24.4 meters wide.

As soon as 2003, the granite-clad shoreside pillars and ramps were covered with rusty spots showing fast corrosion right under the surface.
