About New Darnytskyi Bridge

The Darnytskyi Automobile and Railway Bridge Crossing (Ukrainian: Дарницький автомобільно-залізничний мостсвий перехід, romanized: Darnytskyi avtomobilno-zaliznychnyi mostovyi perekhid), known colloquially as the New Darnytskyi Bridge (Ukrainian: Новий Дарницький міст, romanized: Novyi Darnytskyi mist) or Kirpa Bridge (Ukrainian: Міст Кірпи, romanized: Mist Kirpy), is a combined road and railroad bridge in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.

It spans across the Dnieper River connecting the left and right banks of the city, the Darnytsia and Holosiiv districts of Kyiv, respectively. The bridge carries a double track rail line and is built to accommodate six lanes of road traffic. The bridge was completed in July 2023, but operated in reduced capacity for months before, lacking road connection ramps from some directions.

Additional railroad links to match the new bridges' capacity are also being constructed. The bridge's expected capacity is 60,000 vehicles and 120 pairs of trains per day, which will serve as a major relief for both the Kyiv road and bridge network and as well as Ukraine's Ukrzaliznytsia national rail system.
