Darivka Bridge, Road bridge in Kherson Oblast, Ukraine.
This concrete crossing over the Inhulets River measures just under 100 meters from bank to bank and carries two traffic lanes across its 12-meter deck. The structure rests on several piers that rise from the riverbed to support the roadway above.
During 2022, the crossing sustained repeated damage during military operations, which interrupted traffic and required the use of temporary river crossings nearby. The damage led to the construction of pontoon spans in the area to maintain connections across the water.
The bridge functions as a central transportation artery for local communities in Kherson Oblast, connecting settlements on both sides of the Inhulets River.
Due to war damage, vehicle passage is currently restricted and may require detours via other routes in the region. Travelers should check current conditions before arriving, as the situation can change regularly.
The span sits on the E-58 trunk road, which runs as a major east-west route through southern Ukraine. Because of the military situation, temporary pontoon crossings were placed upstream and downstream to keep traffic moving.
