History

Kiltseva Road originated in the first half of the 20th century. It was called Okruzhna Street, and from 1965 to 1977 it was called the Great District Road. In 1977, it was connected to Velyka Okruzhna Street in Sviatoshyn (it appeared at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, until 1965 it was called the 4th Prosika, stretched from Peremohy Avenue to the end of the building near Mykhailo Kotelnikova Street).[1]

Kiltseva Road is the namesake of Kyiv Light Rail station Kiltseva Doroha, closed for reconstruction since 2018.[2] [3]
