Redevelopment of the embankment consists of rearrangement of carriage way, intensive planting, and redevelopment of pedestrial area.
After the redevelopment these three
embankments became a part of a single walking
area along the Moscow river, from the New Arbat
to the Novo-devichi convent. over 50,000 m2 of
pedestrian footpaths are paved with large granite
paving stones. Sidewalks are 2.5-7.5 m wider
than before. Over 300 new main illumination
poles and over 100 additional standing lamp
poles with energy-saving lamps were installed
along the sidewalks. Pedestrian footpaths are
separated from the carriage way by grass lawns,
trees and bushes. Near the river there are
observation decks, benches, litter-baskets
and points of information. Housefronts
on the embankments were also renovated.
