Southern Bridge, Kiev

The one-pylon bridge crossing the Dnieper River, connecting the right and left bank of Kiev. It is a whole complex, including not only the bridge, but also the Bazhana Avenue and the road junction.

The Kiev South Bridge was built for 7 years and ended in December 1990. To create the highest bridge of the cityspent more than 110 million rubles.

The official name of the structure is 135 meters high and 1256 meters long - the South Bridge Bridge. The bridge width of 41 meters has 6 automobile lanes and 2 metro lines, as well as pedestrian sidewalks.

When creating the project of the future bridge, it was planned to equip a gallery with a restaurant above the metro line, however, this idea was not realized in life. It is very difficult for an uninitiated observer to guess that the top point of the bridge and the road running on it is connected by a staircase hidden beneath a layer of concrete.

The South Bridge has become three times the record holder in Kiev: in height, width and extent. Today it skips over its lines more than 90,000 cars every day.
