Major Kyiv overpass reopens after repairs — photos

On Friday, November 28, traffic was reopened in Kyiv after repairs overpass on Budivelnykiv Street (above the red line of the metro near Darnytsia station and Brovarskyi Avenue). This was reported by Kyiv City Council press service.

In less than ten months, the old 60-meter, three-span bridge was completely dismantled and rebuilt as a 77.5-meter, two-span bridge. This made it possible to dismantle one of the overpass pillars that was standing in the middle of Brovarskyi Avenue, which was moved outside the roadway.

The width of the bridge increased by three meters due to the expansion of sidewalks.

The number of lanes on the roadway has not changed – two in each direction.

The operational life of the new overpass will be at least 30 years.

The bridge was built by Avtomagistral-Pivden.

The company still needs to complete the repair of the underground pedestrian crossing and stairs on the side of Andriy Malyshko Street, the decoration of the overpass, and the landscaping of the surrounding area.

• The bridge near Darnytsia is one of the two main overpasses connecting the northern and southern parts of Kyiv's left bank. The second one is about to be repaired overpass – near the Chernihivska metro station. It will be repaired by Avtostrada Group for UAH 985 million.
