Kyiv Metro Bridge, Double-level metro and road bridge in Kyiv, Ukraine
Description
Kyiv Metro Bridge is a double-level concrete structure that spans the Dnieper River, connecting the city's central and eastern areas. The upper deck carries the metro line while the lower level serves vehicle traffic.
History
The bridge was built after World War II to replace an earlier crossing destroyed during the war. It was one of the first large-span arch bridges constructed from prefabricated concrete blocks in the Soviet Union.
Culture
The bridge serves as a vital link between neighborhoods, carrying both metro passengers and car traffic daily. Its dual purpose reflects how the city developed on both sides of the river and how people move through Kyiv.
Practical
Pedestrians can cross on foot or use the metro, while drivers access the lower level. The bridge carries heavy traffic throughout the day, so expect crowds during rush hours if you plan to walk across.
Did you know?
The bridge was innovative for its time, built using dry joints between prefabricated concrete blocks rather than welded connections. This construction method allowed faster building and proved more economical than traditional techniques of the era.
