Temporary supports that held up the structure of the Podilsko-Voskresenskyi Bridge have begun to be dismantled.

Now the builders have connected the arches to each other, and the metal frame is no longer needed. Part of it has already been removed.

"The bridge, which for a long time has spoiled the landscape of Podil, is taking on a completely different look," the Kyiv City State Administration noted.

The administration recalled that the facility is planned to be completed by the end of 2020.

The two-tier Podil bridge crossing is being built in Kyiv across the Dnipro River and consists of three bridges and connecting overpasses. Its route has been marked on all general development plans for Kyiv over the past forty years. Construction began in 1993, but for lack of funding it was suspended after a few years and resumed only in 2003. The finished bridge is to connect Podil with the left-bank districts of Voskresenka and Raduzhnyi Massyv. 

Earlier, the reason for the disappearance of the huge blue hand from central Kyiv became known.
