Sobyanin opened the embankment of the Moscow River near the theater “Peter Fomenko’s Workshop”

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin has opened a new embankment on the right bank of the Moscow River - from the Belarusian Bridge to the Petra Fomenko Workshop Theater. This is stated in his official channel on the domestic platform MAX.

“We will continue on. Further, the entire embankment, it will be extended to Fili Park, to pedestrian bridges on Mnevniki. It's all done here. This year, we are finishing the Karamyshevskaya embankment. It is already, in principle, ready, there is not much left. All the improvement of the embankments of Mnevnikov will be done, the Fili Park will also be put in order, so that the entire large area will be landscaped, the mayor said.

As the head of the Russian capital noted, in the future the new embankments will become part of a single walking route with a length of seven kilometers on the right bank of the Moscow River. He indicated that this route will last from the construction of the bridge-sail in the area of Novozavodskaya street (park "Fili") to the theater "Workshop of Petra Fomenko" (Dorogomilovsky bridge). It is expected that over nine thousand people a day will use the route on weekends and holidays.

According to the report published by Sobyanin, to date, 2.6 kilometers (about 40%) of the route have been landscaped, namely sections of the embankments from the Akademik Korolev Bridge to the Shelepikhinsky Bridge, from Shelepikhinsky to the Belarusian Bridge, from the Belarusian Bridge to the Petra Fomenko Workshop Theater. In addition, it is noted that at the same time, the improvement of the 4.4-kilometer stretch from the bridge-sail near Novozavodskaya Street to the Akademika Korolev Bridge starts. The work is planned to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2028.

According to the mayor of Moscow, the length of the new section of the embankment of the Moscow River from the Belorussky Bridge to the Peter Fomenko Workshop is 1.2 kilometers. The mayor drew attention to the fact that to create this site it was necessary to strengthen the coastal slope: a retaining wall was erected throughout the embankment, preventing landslides and soil erosion.

The artistic director of the Petra Fomenko Workshop Evgeny Kamenkovych, in turn, said that the development of the transport structure allows you to get to the theater, using the stations of the Moscow Central Diameter, the Moscow Central Ring, the metro, as well as bus stops and river transport berths.

Sobyanin continued that a regular route “Kievsky – Fili Park” was organized along the embankment, the nearest pier – “Kutuzovsky”, and in the future new berths will be opened. The publication of the mayor says that for cars the embankment will be closed. For vacationers along arranged pedestrian, running and bicycle paths. Additionally, 0.6 hectares of lawn and 6.4 thousand square meters of flower beds were broken.

Kamenkovych added that earlier the only observation deck was actually the service entrance of the theater, and now you can admire the panorama of the capital from different points of the embankment.

The mayor added that the return of the embankments to Muscovites is one of the most important programs for the improvement of the capital. They appear comfortable pedestrian spaces, areas for recreation and sports, observation platforms. Since 2011, more than 120 kilometers of embankments have been put in order, including almost all the historic granite embankments in the city center. The sidewalks have been expanded and updated, some have equipped bicycle paths. Thousands of trees and shrubs were planted. Today, a significant part of the coastline of the Moscow River meets modern standards of comfortable urban environment.
