Night view of Andreevsky Bridge

Andreyevsky Railway Bridge across the Moskva River in Moscow was built between 1905 and 1907 to designs by Alexander Pomerantsev and Lavr Proskuryakov. Its innovative construction, with a central span of 135 meters, shared many features with Krasnoluzhsky Bridge, constructed simultaneously and situated nearby. Construction of the Luzhniki Stadium in 1955 necessitated some modifications of the bridge. In 1999, it was moved to the Gorky Park and reopened as Pushkinsky Bridge for foot traffic only.
