This category brings together articles about the avenues of Nizhny Novgorod — wide arterial streets that form the city's transport backbone. Lenin Avenue is the largest thoroughfare of the Zarechnaya (trans-river) part of the city, Gagarin Avenue runs through the university district, and Sakharov Avenue bears the name of the scientist whose life was connected with Nizhny Novgorod. The avenues reflect different eras of urban planning and remain the main axes of movement in their respective districts.
