Patriarshy Bridge

Patriarshy Bridge (Russian: Патриарший Мост/Patriarchal Bridge) is a steel pedestrian box girder bridge[1] that spans Moskva River and Vodootvodny Canal, connecting Cathedral of Christ the Saviour with Bersenevka in downtown Moscow, Russia (0.6 kilometers west from the Kremlin).

The second part of the bridge spanning Vodootvodny Canal was opened in September 2007.

[2] The very shallow arch is a simple steel box; lace-like "trusses" are for decoration only.

Southern end of the bridge right now terminates at the second floor of the future trade complex on Yakimanskaya naberezhnaya which is yet to be built.

Also, a new parking in the lower part of the bridge is planned to open.
