Pivdennyi Bridge (Kiev)
The Pivdennyi Bridge in Kiev, Ukraine was designed by the architect A. Gavrilov and a group of engineers headed by G. Fux, was built in 1990.
Overview
It is the second metro bridge in Kiev, serving both the Syretsko-Pecherska metro line and road traffic. The cables holding the spans on the bridge are supported by a ferroconcrete double-column pylon in height.
The bridge currently has three traffic lanes in both directions. It connects the :uk:Мала_Окружна_дорога_|Smaller Ring Road around the center of Kiev. The bridge is part of the E40/M03 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 was scheduled to be established sometime in 2011. The whole project, however, is supposed to end around 2015.
