With Kyiv traffic conjestion increasing, Ukravtodor agreed yesterday to complete the construction by the end of 2021 of the long-stalled New Darnytskyi Bridge. In what could be a $40 million project, Ukravtodor will complete the Left Bank exits from 1 km long road-rail bridge. At present, the 6-lane bridge funnels east-bound traffic directly to Darnitskiy Highway. Exit ramps to the Dnipro Embankment highway will allow exiting traffic to flow north and south. The bridge, which is owned by Ukrzaliznytisa, was designed almost 20 years ago to carry 60,000 cars a day. After the bridge opened a decade ago to trains and limited road traffic, UZ stopped construction.
