USSR. Moscow. The two-tier Luzhnetsky metro bridge on the Moskva River with temporary bypass single-track girder spans under construction for the movement of electric trains on the Kirovsko-Frunzenskaya Line of the V. I. Lenin Moscow Metro during the reconstruction of the bridge and the Leninskiye Gory metro station. By the early 1980s, the 1959 metro bridge and station were in a pre-emergency condition due to design errors, waterproofing defects, and the use of salt in concrete work. Vitaly Sozinov/TASS
