From the station, follow the pedestrian path alongside the building towards the river. At the water, turn towards the nearest entrance to the covered footbridge. Approach along the pavement for a side view of the arch. You can finish the walk by crossing through the gallery.
You can see the steel arch more clearly from the embankment than from inside the glass corridor.

History
This footbridge owes part of its structure to the railway. The metal arch of the old Krasnoluzhsky Bridge was lifted from its piers and carried upstream on barges. Near Kiyevsky Railway Station it became part of a new crossing over the Moskva River. Pedestrians now walk under glass, supported from below by a structure once designed to carry trains.
