A new embankment of the Moscow River was opened near the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop Theater.
This year we are completing a number of projects to create new promenades in the area of the flood plain of Filivovskaia. Recently, the left bank of the Moscow River was decorated with the Shelepikhinskaya Embankment.
On the right bank, we first updated a small section between the Shelpikinsky and Belorsky bridges, and now the walking route has been extended to the Peter Pomenko workshop theater. Cars will not drive here.
The coastal slope on the embankment has been strengthened. Trails have been installed, including jogging and cycling.
More than 70 years ago, the famous movie "Old Man Hotbitsch" was filmed here. Based on the legend of the film, artefacts were placed on the embankment that turn an ordinary walk along the water into a small adventure. Among them:
An urn, next to which is the inscription "Sometimes miracles begin with a single find"; Wooden railings with the phrase "May your wish come true! "; metal footprints of oriental shoes that start at the railing and lead to the "lost shoe" on the walkway; a "magic carpet" installed near the lounge chairs; a lamp that casts the shadow of old Hotwitch in the dark.
A regular river route "Kiev - Philly Park" is organized along the embankment, the nearest pier is. "Kutozovsky". In the future we will open new highlights.
In the future, a single 7 km long promenade will appear on the right bank of the Moscow River - from the Sail Bridge under construction on Novozabodskaya Street to the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop Theater. It is estimated that over 9,000 people a day will use it on weekends and holidays.
About 40% of the route has now been completed. We are starting to tidy up the area from the Sail Bridge in the alignment of Novozabodskaya Street to the Korolev Academic Bridge. Its length is 4.4 km.
We plan to complete the work in the fourth quarter of 2028.
Returning batteries to Muscovites is one of the most important programs to improve the capital.
