Every capital resident knows this bridge. This bridge is one of the most important attractions of Gorky Park. The bridge connects the noisy Frunzenskaya embankment from the most romantic Pushkinskaya embankment in Gorky Park.

The architects of the bridge Lavr Dmitrievich Proskuryakov and Alexander Nikanorovich Pomerantsev back in 1905-1907 did not even realize that many years later their brainchild would undergo serious changes - their bridge would turn into a pedestrian bridge, it would be renamed Pushkinsky and young people from the capital would hang out on its massive load-bearing arches extreme sports enthusiasts and guests of the capital with their legs dangling.

The bridge is located in the noisy, lively Gorky Park of Culture and Recreation, and even if you don’t find free space, climb onto the Pushkin Bridge, unless of course you’re afraid. Find a place on the massive arch of the bridge, there are two arches - there is enough space for everyone. Sit back comfortably, put your legs together and sunbathe to your heart's content - the bridge's security has long since stopped removing thrill-seekers from it.

Each arch of the Pushkin Bridge weighs about 1.5 thousand tons and will withstand any extreme sportsman. Every summer these bridge arches turn into a dangerous attraction for young people who consider it their duty to climb to the very top and sit there with their legs dangling comfortably. Oddly enough, in the covered part there are two security booths and only one security officer. The guard watches indifferently as the youth rest on massive beams about 8.5 meters high from the level of the bridge, putting themselves at risk of falling and injuring themselves to death.

While carrying out reconstruction work on one of the sections of the small ring of the Moscow railway, builders encountered a problem. On their way was the century-old St. Andrew's Bridge, built at the beginning of the last century. The city authorities made a difficult decision: to preserve the structure, but, having removed it from its supports, move it downstream of the river, arranging new supports for the bridge. The structure, which is a monument of engineering and architectural art, found a second life: its main arch became the decoration of the new bridge.

Story

The best bridge building engineers of that time worked on the most complex design solution for the Andreevsky Bridge: L. D. Proskuryakov and P. Ya Kamentsev. The architectural project belonged to the famous Russian architect A.N. Pomerantsev.

The arched surface parts of the bridge spans were about 135 meters in length. They rested on four supports, which had granite lining. Two of them, namely the coastal supports, were decorated with towers and equipped with bypass metal galleries. Even at the beginning of the last century, barge haulers moved along them, pulling ships and loaded barges along the Moscow River. The structures for the St. Andrew's Bridge were made of cast steel with rivets in the workshops of the Kama-Votkinsk plant.

Over its entire operational life, the bridge was repaired several times, but time turned out to be merciless: the load-bearing beams, rivets and other metal elements corroded. The condition of the structure made it necessary to reduce the speed of traffic, and besides, the old bridge did not make it possible to electrify the railway.

New pedestrian bridge, in the construction of which the structures of the old Andreevsky were used, connected two embankments: Pushkinskaya and Frunzenskaya. Since the river is wider at the site of its construction, the designers provided an outrigger channel support. The main arch of the old bridge, weighing about one and a half thousand tons, was transported to the new location by three barges. By that time, there was already invaluable experience of such movement during the construction of the Bogdan Khmelnitsky Bridge.

The entire complex of construction and installation work took about 11 months, and the Pushkinsky Bridge was put into operation in 2000.

Pushkinsky or Andreevsky?

The new bridge was named after Pushkinskaya Embankment, which in turn had several names. Until the 20s of the last century it was called Andreevskaya, then it was renamed Neskuchnaya, and in 1937, in connection with the centenary of the death of the Great Pushkin, it began to bear the name of the poet. However, even on many maps of the city and in reference books the bridge is listed as Andreevsky. And when entering it from the Pushkinskaya embankment, you can see a sign telling about the history of the Andreevsky Bridge, which has become an integral part of the new bridge crossing.

St. Andrew's Bridge near Gorky Park in last years has become one of the most popular places among Moscow youth and guests of the capital, however, in addition to fans of spectacular views of the city, this place also attracts those who like to drink strong drinks, as well as aggressive young people from the regions. Locals complain that the complete lack of control over this bridge has led to the problem spreading throughout the entire area.

As noted "MBH Media", Muscovites have already accumulated many stories that suggest that the situation on St. Andrew’s Bridge is unhealthy. At the same time, the management of Gorky Park does nothing about this, and the Moscow authorities turn a blind eye to what is happening.

The bridge is a glass “greenhouse” 130 meters long. Inside the “greenhouse” there are three dirty yellow security booths. The covered part of the bridge is not crowded: most people climb over the fence and climb onto the arch. No one pays attention to the numerous prohibitory signs.

The journalist witnessed how a bridge guard jumped onto the arch and began to climb towards the violators, approached the young girls and asked them for a cigarette. Having lit a cigarette, the security officer sat down next to them, dangling his legs carefree. The second guard, of retirement age, was drinking vodka with a friend right at the booth.

According to one of the guards at St. Andrew's Bridge, they periodically call the police. Law enforcement officers come once or twice a day, take one person away for order, and leave the rest alone. If something serious happened, law enforcement officers are still in no hurry to get to the Andreevsky Bridge: by the time they arrive, all the hooligans have already fled. Security admitted that fights happen there regularly, but “you can’t keep track of everyone.”

The State Budgetary Institution "Gormost" is responsible for hiring private security officers, but they could not promptly comment on what was happening. The Gorky Park administration first emphasized that they were not responsible for the events on the bridge.

Local residents complain Facebook that this problem has already spread to the entire surrounding area. “Now it’s not only unpleasant to walk around (swearing, screaming), but also really scary. I don’t risk letting my 16-year-old girl out alone at 8 pm,” said the Muscovite. One of the townspeople noted that all this began after the reconstruction of Gorky Park: “Before that, they were drinking inside. Now they are drinking on the bridge and nearby squares. The bridge should be transferred to the jurisdiction of the Park of Culture so that their private security company could stand there.”

One of the most high-profile incidents on this bridge was the recent case of a young native of Dagestan, a medical student Amir Abumuslimov, who fell into a coma after meeting a group of quarrelsome and aggressive youth. The hooligans hit the young man on the head, and by the time law enforcement officers arrived, they had fled. The police, however, were in no hurry to pursue the attackers, and a criminal case was opened only after the victim’s parents arrived in Moscow from Dagestan.

With the arrival of warm weather, the guards in Gorky Park begin to have a headache - not because the sun is hot, but because teenagers from 12 to 16 years old are storming the Andreevsky Bridge, which connects Gorky Park with Frunzenskaya Embankment.

Young people in the city are a devil... What to do with extreme teenagers

"Don't stop us from living our lives"

For several years now, Muscovites and guests of the capital have been observing the picture “sparrows on the arch.” Someone passes by indifferently, uttering the legendary phrase of Sergei Lavrov, and someone heartbreakingly: “Where are the police looking?” Children climb onto the metal semicircular structure of the bridge, hang their legs down and take a selfie. And this is the cutest option. Others start running, filming extreme videos, and throwing cigarette butts and bottles at ship passengers.

- Look how many of them there are. Is this allowed?- I’ll ask my friend Zhenya.

Definitely not, he will say.

Let's get closer. Entrance to St. Andrew's Bridge, official sign. Inside there is a small hall, an open door to the basement. And the elevator where Contact phone numbers GBU Gormost. I'm calling.

Is it possible to climb onto the bridge? I mean, for a semicircular structure, I’ll ask the dispatcher.

Are you crazy? How did these... the police already went for them - they called them,” the employee is indignant.

- Are they often there?

They are not there only in winter and during the rains, and spring-summer is the season, they come as if they were on an attraction.

The guards of St. Andrew's Bridge also talk about frequent guests. They say that they do not have the authority to pull them out of there. But they don’t understand the warnings.

We tell them that this is dangerous. We give examples that for some these show-offs end tragically. A month ago the guy fell,” says security guard Andrei Muravyov.

- What are they?- I ask.

But they still climb. They drink there at night, and then the syringes are lying around.

The metal arches have convex details for teenagers to climb. And migrant workers climb for spectacular photos. The height is about eight meters, and the width of the arch is slightly less than a meter - two people can’t separate. We need to fence them off and block the passages to them. I wasn't the only one who thought about this. They even made a metal fence, only it is so low that any schoolchild can jump over it.

“Why bother getting up here, I’ve already sat here a thousand times,” Masha, about 14 years old, will say with pride.

Then there was profanity during her conversation with her friends. The teenagers were not embarrassed by the comments of passers-by. It's not like I haven't seen girls with green hair, shorts with fringe on their butts, tattoos and bottles of beer. With them were guys in hoods and rolled up jeans. But you tell them: “Children, be careful,” and they: “Don’t stop us from living our lives.” And worse - a mother of about 20 is walking, and with her a son of about five. He tells her: “I want to go upstairs,” and she tells him: “Just be careful.” Takes photographs. Then, as it seemed to us, she calmed down and said to him: “Vladik, stop. Do not move. Now I’ll come up to you.” We've taken a lot of breath here, how will she take it off? And the mother sat down next to him and began taking a selfie with her son. There, nearby, teenagers kiss passionately as if they were alone here. The movement is crazy, everyone is in some kind of euphoria.

The police still didn't come. As the guards say, they now come every other time or only when drunk people and adults climb onto the roof. They say, catch the kids, yes, and you can’t even issue a ridiculous fine of 100 rubles - you need the names of the parents, but they don’t give them. I called Gormost again to ask when the police would arrive.

They must come. We call the squad several times a day. But everything is the same: the police arrived - the children ran away, only the police left - they climbed onto the bridge again, they say at the Gormost State Budgetary Institution.

Death Race

Modern youth like to be extreme. Another bridge in Gorky Park - Crimean Bridge. It would seem that you can’t climb it. But there are attempts. And with fatalities. Usually, they come to rescue teenagers with a fire escape. So in the winter of 2016, after persuasion from the Ministry of Emergency Situations employees, the extreme sportsman descended from the bridge on his own.

Older audiences like to sit on the Patriarchal Bridge - in the part where the drainage canal is. People sit directly on the wide granite parapets, without fear, cross their legs, feeling weightless. Some have dates there, others eat pizza. From the outside it looks like a pursuit better life. Someone below is sailing on a boat, ordering an expensive dinner, and they are no less cool - they look at life from a different angle.

What motivates you? Young people want to be special, to be taller than others, and are picking up fashion in the style of Urbex (Urban Exploration - English urban reconnaissance) - photographs in this format are increasingly being taken by bloggers. On the edge, so to speak. And then someone climbs onto the roof of the Kudrinskaya high-rise building or GUM, and goes to abandoned factories such as ZIL. An important object to conquer are the Moscow City towers. It’s more difficult to get there because of the multi-level security system, but this makes it even more of that same drive.

Some people like to jump with a parachute, climbing onto the roofs of high-rise buildings, while others like to climb onto the cabins and roofs of electric trains. Although warnings from the metro and Moscow Railways appear repeatedly. “With anyone, but not with me,” the hookers usually say. The other day, doctors were unable to save an 18-year-old boy. The body of a young man was found at the Solnechnaya station of the Kyiv direction of the Moscow Railway. The guy climbed onto the roof of the train with the message “Moscow - Maloyaroslavets”, where he received an electric shock. And this is not the first case; this year 11 children have already died and 5 more were injured.

On the eve of summer school holidays We will carry out extensive outreach work with children aimed at creating a culture of safe behavior and reducing the level of non-occupational injuries. Special emphasis will be placed on “hooks” and “roofers”, who, in pursuit of thrills, climb onto the roofs and automatic couplers of trains, railway bridges, which, unfortunately, leads to tragic consequences, says the press service of the Moscow Railways.

EXPERT OPINION

Alexander Karabanov, lawyer:

If children are under 16 years of age, then only relatives can be held administratively liable. So far there is only Article 5.35 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation “Failure of parents or other legal representatives of minors to fulfill obligations for the maintenance and upbringing of minors.” What threatens parents? A warning or an administrative fine in the amount of 100 to 500 rubles. From practice, adult roofers are charged with “petty hooliganism”, for which a fine of 500 rubles is imposed, and parents of roofers are fined 100 rubles.
