Preobrazhenskyi bridges, Rail and road bridge across Dnipro River in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine.

The Preobrazhenskyi bridges consist of two parallel structures spanning 560 meters in length and reaching 54 meters in height over the Dnipro River.

Construction of these reinforced concrete bridges began in 1949 during the post-war reconstruction period and reached completion with their inauguration on December 31, 1952.

The bridges bear the name of engineer Borys Preobrazhenskyi and connect the Khortytskyi District with the central area of Zaporizhzhia through railway and highway crossings.

The bridges currently face structural issues with waterproofing and expansion joints, leading to traffic congestion and extended waiting times for vehicles crossing the river.

These structures held the record as Ukraine's longest arch bridges until 1974, featuring a four-arch double-decker design that accommodates both rail and road traffic.
