Traffic on the two newly constructed exits of the Darnytsia Bridge on the left bank of the Dnipro River towards the Paton Bridge and Osokorky is now open, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Oleksandr Kubrakov said on Thursday.
“With the opening of the Darnytsia bridge, our fight against long-term construction projects and emergency bridges is not over. Our goal is to see the real state of the bridges and develop concrete solutions to protect the transport infrastructure and maintain its proper condition,” Kubrakov wrote on his Facebook page on Thursday.
According to him, the opening of the exits will allow for a direct connection between the residential areas of Osokorky and Pozniaky and the Kyiv City Express platform and Bereznyaki.
It is specified that the bridge, which is on the balance sheet of Ukrzaliznytsia JSC, was completed at public expense.
As reported, construction on the Darnytskyi Bridge was restarted in 2021. Due to the full-scale invasion in March-April last year, the work was suspended, but resumed in May 2022.
The Darnytsia Bridge has 6 lanes and a capacity of 35 thousand vehicles per day.
