Consensus

New sections of the Kruțkaya and Simonovskaya embankments were opened on the left bank of the Moscow River.
The new sections connect Novospassky Bridge to Torpedo Stadium.
The continuous line of Moscow's embankments was extended by 2.2 km.
The new sections include 2–3 lanes in each direction for traffic.
The projects include pedestrian and cycling zones, green spaces, and a pedestrian underpass at house number 2 on Viktor Maslov Street.
The works involved reinforcing the riverbank slope with retaining walls.
The opening took place on September 4.
The project is part of a larger effort to reconstruct over 100 km of river embankments in Moscow.
Future plans include extending Simonovskaya Embankment to Mark Shagall Embankment and completing additional sections near Kruțkaya Embankment.

The Simonovskaya Embankment includes a public space with a pedestrian and cycling zone over 1 km long, offering views of the river and opposite bank. — tg_mos_sobyanin
