Arbat Street
Vozdvizhenka is the first stretch of an old route to Smolensk, continued west by New Arbat Street and Kutuzovsky Prospekt. Prior to development of New Arbat in 1960s, this route passed via old Arbat Street and Borodinsky Bridge. Vozdvizhenka today is a one-way, westbound street; opposite traffic from New Arbat is diverted through Znamenka Street.
