A new walking route along the Moscow River embankments has opened in the south of the capital.

"Last year, more than 20 kilometers of the Yauza River embankments were renovated, and this year, comprehensive improvements were carried out on six embankments of the Moskva River: Nagatinskaya, Novodanilovskaya, Danilovskaya, Paveletskaya, Derbenevskaya, and Shlyuzovaya," noted Pyotr Biryukov. "As a result, a new, unified, comfortable pedestrian route for strolls along the Moskva River has emerged, with a total length of 11.4 kilometers."

The Deputy Mayor explained that the new route complements the existing network of promenades. On one side, it connects with the Ozerkovskaya, Ovchinnikovskaya, and Kadashevskaya embankments, forming a single promenade leading to Gorky Park and Vorobyovy Gory. On the other side, one can stroll through the Nagatinsky Backwater to the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve.

"As part of the work, overhead lines were relocated underground into cable ducts, improving the visual appearance of the space and ensuring reliable operation of utilities. Sidewalks were widened and resurfaced, and the roadway asphalt was repaired," said Pyotr Biryukov. "The lighting system was modernized, and 145 high-contrast lighting poles were installed at pedestrian crossings. New pavilions were installed for public transport passengers, navigation signs were installed, and rest areas with comfortable benches were created."

The grounds have been landscaped, with 170,000 square meters of lawns and flower beds created. Around 70 large trees are planned to be planted by the end of autumn.
