The main attraction of the city of Mosty is the longest pedestrian bridge in Belarus.
The history of this attraction began in 1972. The idea was conceived by Yevgeny Radkevich, who was the general director of Mostodrev at the time and had a hand in the construction of mountain river crossings in Siberia and Asia. The people of Mosty needed a new bridge, as the only way to cross the Neman River was by boat or pontoon bridge, which was not as convenient as a permanent structure. Therefore, Radkevich decided to make every effort to bring his idea to life.
The structure stood for 21 years, delighting the residents of Mostov. However, like any bridge of its kind, it required major repairs, which were completed in the mid-1990s. The bridge was renovated for six months, becoming taller and stronger, with the wooden deck and cables replaced with new ones. The residents of Mostov even joke that the bridge's durability has deprived them of one of their favorite pastimes, which was rocking the bridge.
In May 2025, another reconstruction of the suspended pedestrian bridge was completed. The bridge's supporting structure is a two-chain single-span suspended system with a continuous stiffening beam. The pedestrian path is made of full-body decking with glass inserts. The bridge is approximately 193 m long and 1.6 m wide, with a design load of 407.8 kg/sq.m. To improve the bridge's lighting, 450 lamps have been installed, and the pedestrian walkway features glass inserts, giving the structure a modern appearance.
