The Pivnichnyi ("Northern") Bridge



The Pivnichnyi ("Northern") Bridge is a structure in Kyiv, Ukraine, built in 1976. It is a cable-stayed bridge, designed by the architect A. V. Dobrovolsky and engineer G. B. Fux, with the beam of the main span being held by a cluster of steel ropes which are fixed to a 119 m (390 ft) tall A-pylon.

Until February 2018 the bridge was named Moskovskyi Bridge. As part of Ukraine's current decommunization process the bridge was nominated to be renamed for almost a year prior to its new name.
