2. The Moscow Road and Bridge Planning Office was located at No. lM,
Dobroslobodskiy pereulok, in the former Zheleznodorozhnyy rayon
of Moscow. The only responsibility of the Planning Office was
to plan the building, reconstruction, and repair of streets, roads
and bridges within the limits of the city of Moscow. The building
of roads and bridges outside of Moscow was a responsibilty of other
planning and construction organizations which were subordinat
either, the Ministry of Transportation, an organization known
as GUShossDoro - Glavnoye Upravleniye Shoes eyny r

The last director of the DorMostProyekt was Smirnov (fnu), who was
in charge of the office from about 1953 till after 1956. The name
of the chief engineer was Merkulov (fnu).
3. Construction projects were submitted to the office only by the
Mossovet. Planning assignments were then transmitted to the
respective sections under the signature of the chief engineer.
Prior to initiating a preliminary project conferences would be
held between the chief engineer, chief of sections, and engineers
assigned to the project. The completion of a preliminary project
(predvaritelnyy proekt), for which two or three alternative plans
would be prepared, ould take from two to four months. The Geodetic,
Geological, and Architectural departments participated closely in
the work required for drawing up the alternative plans of the
preliminary project. Similarily, the entire planning was closely
coordinated with the Budget and Finance department. After approval
by the Mossovet of an acceptable plan work would start on the final
formulation of the project. Completion of the final planning, de-
signing, technical and financial computations, and other minute
details would last at times from six to eight months.

The actual work on the construction was done by Moscow construction
offices known as, etroitelnyye tresty, or stroitelnyye byuro. The
responsible planning office engineers who were assigned to the 50X1-HUM
project frequently supervised the work at the construction sites.
Completion of a bridge construction or alteration took at times
from one to two years. The number of engineers assigned to a
project varied from four to six depending on the size of the project.

b. Matrosskix most. A new reinforced concrete bridge built in

was necessitated by the construction of new streets in that
area, which was probably in Baumanakiy rayon. 50X1-HUM
The old bridge was completely removed. The new bridge was a
beam support, three span structure 20 meters wide by 70 meters
long, with a maximum load of N-10 t10 tons.) This bridge
carried streets over the Yauza river, and was used by automobiles,
street cars, and pedestrians. The cost of this bridge was
five million rubles.
