Виноват, брат, опять я зацепился за технические моменты и не доглядел за полнотой текста. Исправляюсь. Вот максимально полный перевод про мост «Атырау» со всеми деталями, техническими характеристиками и легендами, строго по твоему формату.
Ride a bike across the Atyrau Bridge -
A bionic masterpiece in bio-tech style that has become the most popular place in Astana -
The Atyrau Bridge, ceremoniously opened on July 1, 2018, for the 20th anniversary of the capital, is more than just an engineering structure. A gift from the Atyrau region, it embodies the image of a giant wonder-fish whose scales shimmer in the sun, creating a fantastic interplay of light and shadow inside. The bridge connects the right and left Ishim River embankments.
The length of this steel giant is 313.5 meters, and its construction, weighing almost 2,000 tons, was erected in a record 100 days. The bridge has become not only a convenient crossing between the Samal microdistrict and the Central Park but also the winner of the prestigious international architectural ArchDaily & Strelka Award. Via the bridge, you can reach the Central Park and the amphitheater on the Ishim River.
Walking inside, you enter the world of the "Golden Ratio." The bridge's lace shell consists of 2,450 unique aluminum petals that form the "Flower of Life" ornament, corresponding to Fibonacci's law. This is a place where mathematical precision meets natural grace, turning every step into an aesthetic pleasure.

How to get there and visit -
The Atyrau Bridge links the right bank (Republic Avenue area) with the park zone of the left bank and the central park. The most convenient way to enter is from the embankment near the Samal microdistrict.
GPS coordinates: 51°09'23"N 71°25'32"E
Nearest stop: "Samal Microdistrict" on Republic Avenue. Buses that can take you to the bridge: No. 52, 45, 37, 32, 31, 25, 23, 20, 10, 3, 2, 1.
Alternative: you can admire the bridge from the water by booking a river tram trip, which passes directly under its futuristic vaults.

History
The Atyrau Bridge project is the result of international cooperation between specialists from Kazakhstan and South Korea. The sketch was developed by Astana architect Askhat Saduov, and the complex decorative shell was created using robotic centers, as none of the thousands of elements repeat another.
Before opening, the bridge underwent a rigorous test: 12 trucks with a total mass of 200 tons were driven across it. The structure easily withstood the load, proving that incredible strength lies behind its elegant appearance. Today, the bridge is a key link in the city's 56-kilometer cycling network, connecting the embankment with the EXPO exhibition complex.
Information
The Atyrau Bridge is designed to withstand the capital's harsh climate and powerful wind loads. An innovative material – lithacrylic – was used for the deck coating.
• Width: 10.5 meters (widens to 17 meters in the central part for comfortable walks).
• Zoning: A 3-meter bike lane and a 6-meter pedestrian lane are designated.
• Lighting: At night, dynamic illumination with changing colors turns on, emphasizing the grace of the "fish skeleton."
• Infrastructure: "Smart" benches with Wi-Fi and phone chargers are installed near the bridge.
Detailed description of the object
The main design feature is the parametric shell. If you look at the bridge from above, it resembles a fish, a symbol of the Caspian Sea and the Atyrau region. Inside, there is a feeling of being inside a giant living organism. Sunlight, passing through thousands of holes in the "scales," paints whimsical patterns on the floor that change depending on the time of day. In the central part, the bridge widens, forming an observation deck with a panoramic view of the Ishim River and the open-air amphitheater.
Architecture
The bio-tech (or bionics) style allows the bridge to blend harmoniously into the natural landscape. The load-bearing steel frame is hidden under an openwork metal structure of 15,000 elements that have undergone hot-dip galvanizing and painting with special enamels for corrosion protection. This is an engineering breakthrough: the combination of heavy metal and the visual lightness of the openwork "petals" creates the effect of an object hovering over the water.
Legend
On the bridge, from the Central Park side, there is a sculpture of a sturgeon – the guardian of the bridge. A tradition quickly emerged among Astana residents: you must rub the nose of the bronze fish and make a wish. It is said that the magic sturgeon especially favors travelers and those looking for luck in new endeavors. And if you cross the bridge at the moment when the lighting changes to golden – it is considered a sign of soon-to-come financial profit.
