The Podilskyi Arch bridge is crossing the river Dnieper in center of Kiev and is part of a 7.4 km long link which connects the center of Kiev with the “sleeping district” on the left bank of the river. The bridge has a main span of 344 m intended for six lanes of vehicles in the top level and two metro lines in the bottom level plus large diameter water pipes. The bridge is of steel, except of the reinforced concrete bases of the lower parts of the arches. The draft design works began in 1991 and in 2005 parallel design and construction work started. Due to the financial crisis in the Ukraine, the work was interrupted for several years but construction recommenced in 2018 and the bridge shall be completed at the end of 2020.
