The Schiwopisny Bridge (Russian Живописный Мост, literally " Scenic Bridge") is a opened in Moscow on December 30, 2007 Cable-stayed bridge over the Moscow River. The Bridge is the first cable-stayed bridge in Moscow and at the same time the highest of its kind in Europe.

The bridge is unusual for two reasons. For one, it crosses the Moskva River not in the transverse but longitudinally. Simultaneously, a tributary of the Moskva River is crossed in the transverse direction and the island Serebrjany -boron connected by a highway to Moscow. The total length of 1.5 kilometers and contains an approximately 420 meter long and 47 meter wide piece, which leads S-shaped and centered over the Moscow River.

Is unique to the other of the 105 meter high pylon of the bridge, which is not unlike other cable-stayed bridges perpendicularly or obliquely to the road, but extends in a wide arc over the main span. Below the arch formed by the pylon a disc-shaped observation deck is planned that will accommodate a tower restaurant. The weight of this structure is supported by 78 cables. The sheet of steel has a mass of 5000 tons.
