Specialists from the city services complex are reconstructing the Rostokinsky aqueduct in the north-east of the capital. More than 70 percent of the work has already been completed, said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.
“This year we are carrying out major repairs and restoration of the Rostokinsky aqueduct, the only one remaining in Russia. It was built between 1783 and 1784 and became an important part of the first water supply system. The aqueduct is a cultural heritage site of federal significance, and has now been converted into a pedestrian bridge,” said Pyotr Biryukov.
The project will restore the architectural appearance of the building, thereby preserving its historical value. Specialists have already cleared and restored the white-stone cladding of the facades, dismantled the staircases and their landings, and replaced the old wooden structures of the canopy of the walkway, including the roof and masonry elements. In addition, the bridge gazebos-pavilions, stone cladding of the architectural decor and structural elements are being restored.
During the work, the water intake wells and their grates on the bridge’s walkway, polymer drainage pipes and waterproofing will be replaced, the masonry will be strengthened, and the engineering systems will be completely updated.
