One of the most interesting spots of the Moscow tram network is located at the crossing of Svobody Street with Volokolamskoye Shosse. Here both the tram line and the highway pass under the channel that connects Moskva River with Volga. It must be noted that the landscape has drastically changed since this photo was taken...
Although the tunnel remains in its place, the surrounding area has become a part of a huge transport intersection, where even tram tracks have been given their own elevated section separated from the motorcar traffic. The intersection is behind the photographer's back, but it will be shown at the appropriate page when I shall have translated it...

And before the intersection has been constructed, the crossing of Svobody Street with Volokolamskoye Shosse looked like this.
This elevated footbridge was built across Svobody Street as a part of the intersection complex.
Svobody Street has a typical building of 1950s with inevitable five-storey blocks. But a new age is also clearly present here, like this renovated supermarket.
The more distant part of the street has a few older buildings constructed when Tushino was not a part of Moscow yet.

Svobody Street crosses another channel by Vostochniy Most (Eastern Bridge). Having crossed the channel, tram tracks turn to the left and stretch along Lodochnaya Street.
