119-729: The 16th century, the rapidly growing blacksmiths' settlement pushed the potters' community to the eastern part of what is now Goncharnaya Street, which emerged as a branch off the main Kolomenskaya Road. In the mid-17th century, the population density in Zayauzye became one of the highest in Moscow. At that time, Zayauzye was bordered to the east by the Earthen Rampart, with the only gate located at Taganskaya Square. A market formed there, known as Tagansky Market, where most of

One was eventually demolished without replacement, three others correspond (west to east) to present-day Maly Ustinsky, Astakhovsky (Yauzsky) and Tessinsky bridges. Most important of these, Yauzsky Bridge, connecting city center with eastbound roads,

Orthotropic deck is supported by I-beams; there are six road lanes and two tram tracks on a raised divider. Two features make this bridge unique: Bolshoy Ustinsky bridge was reconstructed in 1999-2000, replacing the roadway deck with an improved, lighter orthotropic type. It retained all original structural details. The first, wooden Komissariatsky Bridge (Комиссариатский мост) across Vodootvodny Canal existed since
