The Podilsko-Voskresenskyi Bridge (Ukrainian: Подільсько-Воскресенський мостовий перехід) or Podilskyi Metro Bridge is a combined road-rail bridge over the Dnieper River under construction in Kiev, Ukraine.[3][4] It is a focal point of construction of the Podilsko-Voskresenska Line of the Kiev Metro.
The two-level and 7 km (4 mi)-long bridge is intended to carry part of the future Podilsko-Voskresenska Line of the Kiev Metro and three lanes of road traffic in each direction, connecting the central Podil neighborhood to the left-bank parts of the city. The top level of the bridge will be carrying road traffic, while the bottom will carry rail traffic.
The construction is being carried out by the Kiev municipality.
Location
The bridge is located midway between the existing road Pivnichnyi Bridge and the Parkovyi Pedestrian Bridge. The bridge is located just north of the entrance to Kiev Harbour.
Design
The bridge is intended to connect Podil on the right bank with Voskresenka and Raiduzhnyi masyv on the left bank. Starting in Podil the bridge will cross the Rybalskyi Peninsula, the Dnieper River, Trukhaniv island, and the Raiduzhni sady dacha community, terminating on the left bank.
The bridge is actually a complex of several bridges, ramps, and other types of viaducts with a total length of 7.5 km (4.7 mi). It consists of several major components:
- three bridges over Kiev Harbour
- a bridge over Dnieper (main part)
- a bridge over Chartoryi
- a bridge over Raiduzhne lake
- viaducts over Trukhaniv island and Horbachykha area
- four multi-level road interchanges
The bridge roadway is intended to have three lanes each way with a projected traffic intensity of 59,000 vehicle per day. The bridge will also carry the Podilsko–Vyhurivska line containing three metro stations on the bridge.
Accidents
On November 18, 2011 a crane vessel Zakhariy that was being used in the construction fell in the river and broke apart. The accident destroyed the crane and polluted the Dnieper River's waters with the crane's oil and construction materials. During the accident, two other barges were damaged; the Harbour Bridge was only lightly damaged.
In December 2011, legal issues with the private owners of the land were settled, and the construction process was finally expanded to the Trukhaniv Island.
In popular culture
In 2017, French rapper OrelSan produced a video-clip on this bridge for his song "Basique".[5]
Some scenes from the Diesel brand "Go with the flaw" campaign has been filmed on this bridge.
