Every summer these arches of the bridge turn into dangerous attraction for young people who consider it their duty to climb to the very top and sit there, dangling their legs comfortably. Oddly enough, in the covered part there are two security booths and only one security officer at once. The guard watches blankly as the youth rest on massive beams about 8.5 meters high from the level of the bridge, exposing themselves to the danger of falling and injuring themselves to death.

Pedestrian bridge built across the Moscow River in Moscow. Connects Pushkinskaya emb. Neskuchny garden from Frunzenskaya emb. It was built using the span structure of the old Andreevsky Bridge, built in 1905-07 according to the project of L. D. Proskuryakov and A. N. Pomerantsev. Opened for pedestrians in autumn 1999. The construction was completed in 2000

main arch footbridge, weighing about 1500 tons, was moved to its current location by three barges in 1999. The whole complex of works took 11 months, navigation on the river was blocked for 8.5 days, and the actual towing took an hour and a half. Since the river bed in the new place is wider than in Luzhniki, from the side of the Frunzenskaya embankment, the arch does not rest on the hinge of the coastal support, but on the outrigger channel support; between the hinge of the arch and the shore - two reinforced concrete beam spans of 25 m each, decorated with false arches. The supports stand on grillages, under them are bored poles and piles up to 17 m deep.

The first trains of the Small Ring of the Moscow Railway ran from Kanatchikovo to Sparrow Hills temporary wooden bridge 278 m long, with truss spans of 32 m each. This bridge of the “Lembke system”, with full-fledged channel abutments, cost only 100,000 rubles. Soon, a permanent bridge was built in its place, which served until 1999. Initially, the bridge was called Sergievsky, in memory of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, in 1917 it was renamed Andreevsky - after the former. Andreevsky Monastery, located on the right bank of the river.

During construction, the Andreevsky Bridge had one main span covered by a sickle-shaped arch 135 m long and 15.14 m high, and two coastal spans of 18 m each. The spans were assembled at the Kamsko-Votkinsky plant. Outside the arches, on consoles, pedestrian sidewalks were arranged. The abutments of the bridge rested on a foundation of wooden piles. Before the restructuring in 1999, they were still in excellent condition.

In 1937, the bank abutments were repaired and another side span was added from the side of the Frunzenskaya embankment.

During the construction of the Third Transport Ring, which ran parallel to the Moscow Railways route, it was required to lay two roads near the old Andreevsky bridge - an automobile one (at least eight lanes) and a railway one. For this railway moved to the north of its historical route, which required the construction of a new bridge - 22 m downstream than the old Andreevsky bridge. An analysis of the state of the bridge structures showed that the transfer of the old arch to a new location is not advisable. old bridge moved by barges one and a half kilometers downstream, and in its place the Andreevsky automobile bridge and the new Andreevsky railway bridge were built (the automobile bridge was the first to be commissioned). The chief engineer of the project is S.S. Tkachenko (Transproekt, St. Petersburg).

About the bridge

Moscow, between Frunzenskaya and Pushkinskaya embankments, metro: "Leninsky Prospekt", "Sportivnaya", "Frunzenskaya".

In 1999, in connection with the construction of the third transport ring in Moscow, the old Andreevsky railway bridge across the Moscow River was moved downstream and installed on specially prepared supports in the area of ​​the Park of Culture. Gorky and reconstructed into a pedestrian bridge connecting Neskuchny Garden with Frunzenskaya Embankment. The bridge was built according to the project of engineer Proskuryakov.

In the process of reconstruction, the bridge was supplemented with elements of interface with the banks. So, from the side of the left bank, stairs and escalators were made to descend to the Frunzenskaya embankment.

This bridge is more monumental than the first two, it has both covered glass and open parts.

A monument of engineering art, Andreevsky Bridge has been partially preserved: in the renovated building you can see a historical openwork arch 135 meters long, stone pillars topped with "knobs" and former coastal spans. They were supplemented by a new vestibule from the side of 1st Frunzenskaya Street and a flyover about 200 meters long, forming a descent from the bridge towards Leninsky Prospekt and Pushkinskaya Embankment.

The old and new parts of the building are painted in different colors and contrast favorably with each other. This bridge is somewhat reminiscent of a ship, on which you can walk both on an open deck and on a closed one, that is, under a glass roof. One thing is sad - there is not a single bench along the entire length of the bridge, so you will have to stand up to admire the views of Moscow. And there really is something to see! Downstream the river with the bridge open beautiful view to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Kremlin towers, high-rise buildings, up - to the Andreevsky Monastery, Moscow State University on Sparrow Hills, the new building of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In the alignment of the bridge, the famous Shukhov Tower is visible, and in front of it are the domes of the Church of the Deposition of the Robe of the Lord (1701), which is on Donskaya Street.

Due to the tightness of the construction site, the proximity of neighboring buildings and the need to carry out work while maintaining the existing green spaces, the support was funded on 111 ERST bored injection piles with a drilling diameter of 180 mm, which were completed in the shortest possible time with small-sized equipment.

From the side of the Neskuchny Garden, the entrance to the bridge is designed in the form of a wooden pergola, which stands on a foundation of 27 ERST bored injection piles with a drilling diameter of 250 mm.

The piles are made of fine-grained concrete that meets the requirements of the project as for transport construction structures: class B25, frost resistance F300. Concrete was prepared by GEO-RIT LLC directly at the construction site.

Story

It was built in 1999 using the structures of the old Andreevsky Bridge, built in 1905–1907 according to the design of engineers L. D. Proskuryakov, P. Ya. Kamentsev and architect A. N. Pomerantsev and is a monument of architecture and engineering art.

main arch

The main arch of the footbridge, weighing about 1500 tons, was moved to its current location by three barges in 1999.

The whole complex of works took 11 months, navigation on the river was blocked for eight and a half days, and the actual towing was carried out on May 22, 1999 and took an hour and a half.

Since the river bed in the new place is wider than in Luzhniki, from the side of the Frunzenskaya embankment, the arch does not rest on the hinge of the coastal support, but on the outrigger channel support; between the hinge of the arch and the shore - two reinforced concrete beam spans of 25 m each, decorated with false arches.

The supports stand on grillages, under them are bored poles and piles up to 17 m deep.

Name

Due to the fact that the construction of the old Andreevsky bridge was used during the construction of the Pushkinsky pedestrian bridge railway bridge, namely, its main arch, at the entrance to the bridge from the side of Pushkinskaya Embankment (Neskuchny Garden), a sign with a brief history Andreevsky bridge, therefore Pushkinsky bridge is often called Andreevsky.

Moreover, on most maps of Moscow, the bridge is designated exactly as Andreevsky. Also, under the name of Andreevsky Bridge, it is included in a number of reference books and encyclopedias. Therefore, although its formal name is Pushkinsky, due to the prevailing custom, it is often called "Andreevsky Bridge".

In 1905-1907, Andreevsky Bridge was built in Luzhniki according to the project of architects L. Proskuryakov and A. Pomerantsev.

It was built on the thirty-fifth kilometer of the ring road, planning as a railway crossing.

At first, this bridge was named Sergievsky, in honor of Prince Sergei, the governor of Moscow, who was killed, and already in the early 20s of the last century, it was renamed in honor of St. Andrew's Church, located nearby.

Andreevsky Bridge served in its place for almost a century, during which time it was repeatedly repaired and rebuilt, but in the late 90s it ceased to meet safety requirements.

In the late 90s, the capacity of this bridge dropped sharply, and the speed of the trains was also limited. In addition, the Andreevsky bridge interfered with the electrification of railways, which, in turn, hampered the process of reconstructing the entire highway.

Moscow needed a different, new bridge, and this was clear to everyone, but they decided to keep the old one as well as a monument of engineering art.

Its central arch, weighing 1,500 tons, was removed from its supports and moved downstream to Gorky Park. The preparation of this process took eleven months. For 8 days, the passage (Moskva River) was blocked for ships, although the towing itself took only two hours.

In the old place, it was decided to build two new ones: a road bridge and a railway one. The builders had to lengthen Andreevsky in this meta exceeded the width of the bridge span by 90 meters. Therefore, two reinforced concrete arch spans were added.

On the side of Neskuchny Garden, a two-hundred-meter flyover was completed, stretching from Lenin Avenue to Pushkinskaya Embankment, and on the other side, from Frunzenskaya, a covered vestibule was built, turning into an escalator gallery.

A monument of engineering art and architecture, Andreevsky Bridge, although partially, was preserved. And now, on this renovated crossing, you can see the century-old openwork arch, stretching for 140 meters, stone supports with "bumps" and coastal spans.

The pre-revolutionary and new parts of this structure are painted in different colors and contrast favorably.

Andreevsky bridge from a distance is somewhat reminiscent of big steamer, on which you can walk both on the open deck and under One sad thing on this ship - there is not a single bench along its entire length, so you have to stand to admire the surrounding panorama of Moscow.

There is something to see from the Andreevsky Bridge: a majestic view of the Cathedral of Christ opens, almost all the towers of the Kremlin, many look upstream immediately stops at Moscow State University and the new building of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

In line with this unique bridge Shukhov Tower is visible.

To date, Andreevsky Bridge, its pedestrian part, has become a favorite meeting place for Moscow's creative youth. A huge number of tourists come here, especially in the evenings. Those who have seen the bridge in the light of night lights unanimously say that it looks unforgettable.
