Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Vodootvodny Canal (Russian: , Water bypass canal) is a 4 kilometer long, 30-60 meter wide canal in downtown Moscow, Russia. It was built in 1780s on the old riverbed of Moskva River to control floods and support shipping. Canal construction created an island between Moskva river and the canal. The island acquired its present shape in 1938, with the completion of Moscow Canal megaproject. Canal is spanned by ten bridges, the eleventh is now under construction.Zamoskvorechye, the land on the flat southern bank of Moskva river, was frequently flooded in spring. The river itself used to migrate south from its present site and back, discouraging construction. Low lands on both sides of the river were only suitable for farming.
