Kiev. In the context of attacks on bridges

Starting next week, Kiev plans to begin construction of backup crossings over the Dnieper River in case of damage to the bridges, according to Minister for Reconstruction, Infrastructure and Transport Kalashnyk.

These will include artificial embankments and pontoon bridges designed to connect the left and right banks. According to the minister, the construction could take up to three months, and the new crossings should provide at least half the capacity of the existing bridges.

The locations for the construction have already been identified. Currently, approximately 600,000 vehicles pass between the two banks of Kiev each day.

In the longer term, the possibility of building a tunnel under the Dnieper and constructing quickly assembled concrete structures is being considered. Such projects could cost tens or even hundreds of billions of hryvnia, so Kiev is hoping to secure international funding.

✨ It is worth noting that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have not hesitated and do not hesitate to target construction equipment on the R-280 "Novorossiya" highway. And we are unlikely to hesitate in dealing with construction equipment in Kiev.
