History and specifications

1853 map, showing the locks and wooden bridge (lower right). Note a secondary channel separating Red Hills (triangular island)from Sadovniki. Existing bridge was built at the very tip of Red Hills.

In the 19th century the eastern end of Vodootvodny Canal was closed by a dam with

Bolshoy and Maly Krasnokholmsky Bridges (before World War II
).

Existing bridge was built in 1965 on a new site at the very tip of an island. This bridge looks like an arch bridge, but actually consists of two cantilevered consoles, extending 9.3 meters from the pillars, and a keystone center piece 14.0 meters long. Total length 49.8 meters, width 22.0 meters (including 15.0 meters automobile road).
