Metro Bridge (Kyiv)

Ukraine / Kyyiv / Kiev / Kyiv
 road bridge, 1965_construction, metro bridge

The Metro Bridge was built in 1965.
Engineers: G. Fux and Y. Inosov.
The bridge is used for both the Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line of Kyiv Metro and automobile traffic.

The Metro bridge consists of two spans as it links the central Hidropark island as well as the left and right banks. The larger span consists of an elevated central Metro span and side automobile spans on separate, lower estacades. Both the Metro and automobile paths have a distinct arched contour. This was because the Metro line continues into the hill of the right bank with the Dnipro station.

The smaller span called Rusanivka Bridge which links the Hidropark with the left bank is a more conventional level estacade with two northern traffic lanes and a southern Metro path.
