This bridge was erected at the same time that the area was built up with residential areas. And this place is called Brateevo.
A brief history of construction
The Brateevsky bridge was erected in a time of troubles and difficulties for Russia - the period of perestroika. Sometimes it even seems that the name of this bridge corresponds to the trends of that era. But he was named so because of his presence in the Brateevo region.
The founders and builders of this bridge were respectively B.A. Citizen and contractor "Mostootryad" No. 4. It was built in 1989, but was opened only in 1991.
The main idea of the bridge project is to make this construction a part of the Khovrino-Borisovo highway. However, much later this Brateevsky bridge was built.
Photo and description
The channel part of the structure reaches a length of 308 meters. The design is made in the form of a threaded steel beam, which is blocked by an orthotropic plate of the roadway.
There are 3 car lanes on the bridge in each direction, and there are pedestrian walkways at the edges on both sides. For pedestrians there are staircases along which you can carry out descents and ascents to the bridge. 33-meter long overpass spans are made of reinforced concrete.
Where is the Brateevsky bridge?
This bridge passes through the Moscow River and is an important connecting part between the districts of Brateevo (Southern Administrative District of the capital of Russia) and Maryino (Moscow District of South-East). The bridge is adjacent to Nagatinsky, located 13 km below the river.
To date, the plans of bridge builders have a very important project for creating a backup of the Brateyevsky construction (on Donetsk street). It is the future link between the Moskvorechye - Saburovo and Maryino (Moscow districts). This will relieve the current Brateevsky bridge.
A bit about the area
Brateevsky bridge is located in a rather curious historical district of Moscow.
Brateevo is a former village that became part of the territory of the city of Moscow in 1960 during the expansion of the capital. The village was located on the right coast of the Moscow River, on the site of the current large district of Brateevo. These are sections of the Khordovsky passage and modern streets of Ferry, Klyuchevaya, Borisov ponds.
Southwest of the location of the Brateevo region was once the large village of Borisovo. Numerous pagan mounds were discovered in these places, which prove that ancient settlements were located here long ago. In the Middle Ages, a prosperous village was located on Brateyevsky Hill and its environs, whose inhabitants grew fruit trees on fertile soils. Also, numerous healing springs flowed from the bowels of the earth. Residents of villages were engaged in fishing, crafts and agriculture (all this is reflected in the modern emblem of the region).
Today, the Brateevsky bridge stands in an area where much attention is paid to landscaping, landscaping and flower decoration of the territory. Here, places for walking and recreation for citizens are perfectly arranged. The most popular areas for recreation for city dwellers are the Moskva River, Borisov Ponds , landscaped mini-parks, cozy courtyards and public gardens with playgrounds and sports grounds.
Conclusion
The Brateevsky bridge is of particular importance in the street-road network of the South-Eastern and Southern districts of Moscow, separated from each other by the Moscow River. Here, only 3 bridges have been built across the river so far : Nagatinsky (Andropov Avenue), Brateevsky and Besedinsky (MKAD).
The demand for these bridges today is huge, and they all work in a large overload mode. In this regard, the authorities of the district and the city today have an important task to solve this growing problem.
