Moscow, Russia – May 25, 2018: Borodinsky Bridge across the Moscow River #139108670
Description
From 1788 there was a bridge with flooring right on the water. The bridge was regularly destroyed by floods. In 1865, the city allocated 300,000 rubles for the construction of a capital bridge. The project of the bridge was approved by Emperor Alexander II. The bridge was named Borodino as a monument to the Battle of Borodino and to the 100th anniversary of the Patriotic War of 1812. It was built in 1868. With the construction of the Bryansk Kievsky station, it became necessary to build a new bridge. Construction began in 1911. Above each foundation was equipped with a platform with a granite obelisk. They were marked with the names of the heroes of the war with Napoleon. There were again restorations in 1952 and in the year 1999-2001. The bridge is road and pedestrian. The bridge offers beautiful views of Moscow.
