The Krymsky Bridge, also called the Crimean Bridge (Russian: Крымский мост), is a 6-lane steel suspension bridge in Moscow. It crosses the Moskva River 1.8 kilometres (1.1 mi) southwest of the Kremlin. The bridge links the Crimean Square on the north side to the Krymsky Val street on the south side. It was built in 1938 and was part of Joseph Stalin's rebuilding of Central Moscow. It is the fourth bridge to be built on the site and the only suspension bridge in Moscow.[1]
