Patriarshy Bridge ( _ru. Патриарший Мост) is a steel pedestrian arch bridge that spans Moskva River, connecting Cathedral of Christ the Saviour with Bersenevka in downtown Moscow, Russia (0.6 kilometers west from the Kremlin). It was built in 2004, designed by Mikhail Posokhin (junior). As of January, 2007, it is the most recent bridge in Moscow.

pecifications

Length 203 meters, width 10 meters. [ [http://www.interfax.ru] Interfax newsreel, 17/06/2005] The very shallow arch is a simple steel box; lace-like "trusses" are for decoration only.

Future development

Southern end of the bridge right now terminates at a raised platform, connected to ground with stairs. Bridge is to be extended south-east, first as a skywalk over demolished Bersenevka territory, than over Vodootvodny Canal into Yakimanka mainland. As of January 2007, work is underway to demolish the remainder of industrial properties in the path of construction, at the same time driving piles for the foundations where possible. Construction is due to complete in 2007. [ [http://www.mos.ru/cgi-bin/offic_news?vid=1&osn_id=0&subr_unom=3017&datedoc=20061014] City Hall official release, 10/16/2006]
