Horoshovsky bridge

Nice view of the Moscow river. In any case, to its northern part. Nearby is the honor of renting bicycles and a trolleybus stop, which were taken out and now in their place are stupid buses.

As in the verses ... That's how it froze over the waters of Moscow many bridges ... They are silent, but each of them has something to tell for us ... This bridge, in the west of the capital, has a rich and rather interesting history ... Before, in this part of the sprawling Moscow, there was the village of Khoroshevo. Which became part of the city in 1960, which explains the choice of the name for the bridge. An arched reinforced concrete bridge appeared on the 188 kilometer of the Moscow River, in 1937, together with the opening of the Moscow Canal and the Karamyshevsky hydroelectric complex, located downstream. This complex includes a dam, a hydroelectric power station and a shipping lock ... Until now, more than half of the water flows into the capital through the Moscow Canal ... It was erected in accordance with the General Plan for the Reconstruction of the City of Moscow from 1935. It was also called the plan of the Stalinist reconstruction of the city and the creation of the Moscow-Volga canal. Master plan, designed by architects V. Semyonov and S. Cheripshev, included the creation of new wide transport routes and the expansion of existing ones, the construction of bridges, subway construction, drainage and greening of Moscow. On the water, 240 structures were built at 128 kilometers (including 8 hydroelectric power plants, 11 dams and 11 locks). That's right, Khoroshovsky Bridge is one of these water objects ... It owes its appearance to the joint work of engineer A.A. Belogolovy and architect Freeland. The structure is a single-span reinforced concrete structure with side arches and a ride from the bottom. At the very beginning of the existence of the Khoroshevsky bridge, tram lines ran along it, which were eventually dismantled. Today it is an automobile-pedestrian bridge. A trolleybus line to Serebryanny Bor is laid across the bridge (Khoroshevsky forest park has been known since the 17th century, now it is part of the natural-historical park "Moskvoretsky" ...). The technical characteristics of the bridge are as follows: length - 187.4 meters, width - 25 meters, span - 30 meters, span height within the fairway - 14 meters, carriageway width - 19 meters. The bridge rests on swinging struts and crosses the Moskva River at an angle of 67 °. A very original and unusual decoration of the bridge, are the curly side arches. In the evening light the lights installed on them, make these arches alluring and attractive ... The bridge also has a military background. During the Great Patriotic War, he "fought" - the legendary Soviet guns "Katyusha" were installed here ... Today, a unique natural landscape is located near the bridge. The beautiful wooded banks and the proximity of Serebryanny Bor attract many Muscovites here. Spending weekends and holidays here is liked by many townspeople. It can also be called a bridge in the forest ... A decent flora and fauna have been preserved here. The flora of the surrounding forests numbers about 400 plant species. Willow, birch, oak, pine, linden, elm, walnut (about 40 species of trees in total), as well as lilacs, lingonberries, blueberries, there are even cherries, barberries, currants ... Many plants are listed in the Red Book of Moscow. The fauna numbers about 100 animal species. Moles, hares, hares, squirrels, beavers, otters ... There is also plenty to do here for bird watchers. Pike, gudgeon, crucian carp, bream, asp, ide, catfish, burbot, dace ... A worthy catch. True, many are also "Red Books" ... Not a bad neighborhood near the bridge, isn't it? And the water neighbors are decent too. Above the river is the Stroginsky Bridge, and below the Zhivopisny cable-stayed bridge. And even earlier there was a water pier - Serebryanny Bor - 4. After the closure of the water route, the pier was liquidated and closed ... Well, you can only admire and admire the views from the bridge to the modern miracle-Zhivopisny bridge, to the green embankments, to the water surface. So, "frozen" and "silent" bridge ..., can modestly tell about your interesting destiny, continuing to "guard" and "preserve" this wonderful corner of Moscow ...

Quite noisy for walking, perfect if you are tired of the endless chatter of your girlfriend
