KYIV MAYOR VITALI KLITSCHKO PRESENTS PROJECT OF PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLE BRIDGE

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko has presented a construction project for a big tourist route in Kyiv downtown, including a pedestrian and cycle bridge across Volodymyrska Hill, at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, according to mayor’s press service.
“Preservation of precious world heritage facilities is of major importance for us. This was our main principle during project development. The bridge will create comfortable conditions for Kyiv residents and tourists to visit landmarks of global impact,” Klitschko said.
He added that an advisory mission from UNESCO would visit Kyiv in the latter half of April.
The media earlier reported that the UNESCO World Heritage Committee demanded to suspend the construction of the bridge. However, no relevant document was made public.
