Kyiv plans two pontoon bridges across Dnipro to ease traffic

unian.ua (Ukrainian) —

Kyiv plans to install two pontoon bridges across the Dnipro River as the fastest alternative to the city's six existing bridges, according to lawmaker Volodymyr Kreydenko. The bridges, provided as technical aid from various countries, will have at least two lanes each and may accommodate pedestrians and cars. The goal is to redirect 50% of the 600,000 daily vehicle crossings, though Kreydenko doubts this target is realistic. Cabinet approval and preparatory work are complete, with installation expected within three to four months. River boats carrying 100-150 passengers are also being considered as an alternative, potentially remaining as a tourist attraction after the war.
