Novospassky Bridge

Novospassky Bridge

Novospassky Bridge (Russian: Новоспасский Мост, romanizedNovospasskiy Most) is a steel plate girder bridge that spans Moskva River, connecting Novospassky Monastery and Paveletsky rail terminal areas in Moscow, Russia (about 3 kilometers south-east from the Kremlin). It was built in 1911, as a triple-span steel arch bridge. Reconstruction in 2000 replaced arches with a simpler plate girder structure.[1] Note that the memorial plaque on the bridge spells its name Ново-Спасский, with dash, despite tradition and spelling rules.
