The Bolshoi Moskvoretsky Bridge is one of the bridges across the Moscow River. It connects Vasilievsky Spusk, Varvarka Street with Bolshaya Ordynka Street.
The continuation of the bridge is the Maly Moskvoretsky Bridge across the Vodootvodny Canal. Length including approaches — 554 m, width — 40 m, height above river level — 14 m. Three-span, monolithic reinforced concrete.

It built on the site of one of the oldest crossings in the city.
Since 1498, there was a floating bridge on the way from the Tverskaya road to the Serpukhovskaya road. A wooden pile bridge was built in 1789. In 1829, stone bulls of three wooden spans of 28 m were erected.

The new Moskvoretsky Bridge, founded on July 15, 1830 and completed in 1833, was erected using wooden structures according to the design of engineer P. Ya de Witt. In 1870, the bridge burned down; in 1872, metal spans designed by engineer A.E. Struve, manufactured at his Kolomensky plant, were installed.
The name is given after Moskvoretskaya Street.
