Arcual bridge in Zaporizhzhia, Road bridge in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine.

The Arcual bridge is a steel arch structure spanning 320 meters across the eastern branch of the Dnieper River, connecting the western bank of Zaporizhzhia to Khortytsia Island. The roadway carries two lanes of vehicular traffic across its length.

Construction of this infrastructure project began in 1970 under Soviet administration and was completed in 1974. The completion of the structure represented an important step in connecting the city across the river.

The bridge's name comes from its single steel arch, and its opening in June 1974 made it the first Soviet bridge whose 205-metre deck truss was assembled on barges and both banks, then hoisted onto the arch as one unit. Trolleybus routes 2, 11, 16 and 24 once crossed it; the overhead wires were removed in 2001 and never restored. Since 13 September 2019 trolleybus route 1 has linked the Square of Trade Unions with the Khortytsia tourist camp.

The bridge is accessible to vehicular traffic throughout the day and night, though weather conditions can affect driving surface conditions. Pedestrians and cyclists should look for designated pathways or alternative routes nearby.

Engineers tested the structure's strength using fifty dump trucks, each weighing 25 tonnes, to apply a total load of 1,250 tonnes and verify its safety. This rigorous stress test demonstrated the confidence engineers had in the design.
