Zhivopisny Bridge

Zhivopisny Bridge

Zhivopisny Bridge ( _ru. Живописный Мост) is a cable-stayed bridge that spans Moskva River in north-western Moscow, Russia. It is the first cable-stayed bridge in Moscow. Opened on 27 December 2007 as a part of Krasnoprenensky avenue. It is also the highest cable-stayed bridge in Europe.

Design and specifications

The bridge is unique in that most of its length runs along the river, not across it (see the [http://www.roads.ru/kp/img/map.php?link=kp-most site plan] ). Thus the bridge and highway it carries will bypass the protected territory of Serebryany Bor island.

Total length of an S-shaped deck exceeds 1.5 kilometers, including a 420-meter long, 47-meter wide main section running 30 meters above and "along" the centerline of river Moskva. The main pylon is a 105-meter high arch "across" the river, carrying the weight of deck through 78 cables

Under the top of the arch, there is a disk-like tower restaurant.
