Bridge over Saint Volodymyr Descent, Pedestrian bridge in central Kyiv, Ukraine
The 210-meter steel bridge connects Saint Volodymyr Hill with Khreshchatyi Park, featuring transparent glass panels along its walkway and illuminated handrails.
The initial design for this crossing emerged in 1934 when architect Vasyl Krychevsky envisioned it as part of the Government Center project after Kyiv regained capital status.
The bridge serves as a meeting point between two major parks, creating a connection that allows visitors to experience different sections of central Kyiv.
The structure accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists, providing a direct route between parks while offering views of the surrounding urban landscape.
The bridge incorporates 18 reinforced glass floor panels, allowing visitors to walk above Saint Volodymyr Descent while observing the street below.
