Varvarovskiy Bridge, Swing bridge in Mykolaiv, Ukraine.

The Varvarovskiy Bridge extends 750 meters across the Southern Bug River, connecting different sections of Mykolaiv with its metal and concrete structure.

Opened on July 18, 1964, this bridge replaced a pontoon crossing from 1827, which German forces destroyed during their retreat in March 1944.

The bridge serves as a meeting point for local residents and photographers who gather to observe ships passing through when the structure rotates horizontally.

Vehicles and pedestrians can cross the bridge daily, except during scheduled openings when large vessels need to pass underneath through the Southern Bug River.

When constructed in 1964, this bridge ranked as the largest automotive bridge in the Soviet Union, featuring innovative concrete beam technology.
