was designed by the architect A. Gavrilov ("Mostobud") and a group of engineers headed by G. Fux, was built in 1990.
It is the second metro
bridge in Kiev, serving both the Syretsko-Pecherska metro line
and automobile traffic. The cables holding the spans on the bridge are supported by two ferroconcrete double-column structures 135 m (443 ft) in height.
The bridge currently has three traffic lanes in both directions (total of six). It connects the Vydubychi
to the rapidly-developing left-bank Darnytsia
district, completing the southern end of the "inner circle" road route (beltway) around the center of Kiev. The bridge is part of the and is formally an extension of the local Promyslova Street.
About 1.5 miles north from it is building a new bridge. In 2010 a railway traffic portion of that bridge was finished, while the automobile traffic is scheduled to be established sometime in 2011. The whole project, however, is supposed to end around 2015.
