The Pivdennyi Bridge (Ukrainian: Південний міст - Southern bridge) in Kyiv, Ukraine was designed by the architect A. Gavrilov ("Mostobud") and a group of engineers headed by G. Fux, was built in 1990.

Overview

It is the second metro bridge in Kyiv, serving both the Syretsko-Pecherska metro line and road traffic. The cables holding the spans on the bridge are supported by a ferroconcrete double-column pylon 1350NaN0 in height.

The bridge currently has three traffic lanes in both directions (total of six). It connects the Smaller Ring Road around the center of Kyiv. The bridge is part of the

E40/M03 and is formally an extension of the local Promyslova Street.

About 1.5 miles north from it is building a new bridge.[1] In 2010 a railway traffic portion of that bridge was finished, while the automobile traffic was scheduled to be established sometime in 2011. The whole project, however, is supposed to end around 2015.
