Podilskyi Bridge

About

The Podilskyi Bridge Crossing (Ukrainian: Подільський мостовий перехід, romanized: Podilskyi mostovyi perekhid, IPA: [poˈd⁽ʲ⁾ilʲsʲkɪj mostoˈwɪj pereˈxid]), formerly known as Podilsko-Voskresenskyi Bridge (Подільсько-Воскресенський міст, Podilsko-Voskresenskyi mist), is a combined road-rail bridge over the Dnipro River under construction in Kyiv, Ukraine. It is a focal point of construction of the Podilsko-Vyhurivska Line of the Kyiv Metro (the so-called 'Metro to Troieshchyna'). A part of the bridge was opened with restrictions on 1 December 2023, and a year later its connection to Troieshchyna was fully opened.

The two-level and 7 km (4 mi)-long bridge is intended to carry part of the future Podilsko-Vyhurivska Line of the Kyiv Metro and three lanes of road traffic in each direction, connecting the central Podil neighborhood to the left-bank parts of the city. The top level of the bridge will carry road traffic, while the bottom will carry rail traffic.

Construction is being carried out by the Kyiv City Council. The original contractor that was building the bridge since 2003 was Mostobud, but the work went slowly and stopped in 2014; before the halt, Eurocon assisted them in arch construction. After the 2017 contest, EcoBudTrade was chosen to finish the construction. To do the work they were hiring contractors like Adamant, MZ-112 and Autostrada.
