About Pivnichnyi Bridge

The Pivnichnyi Bridge (Ukrainian: Північний міст [piu̯ˈn⁽ʲ⁾itʃnɪj ˈmist]) or Northern Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge in Kyiv, Ukraine, built in 1976. It was designed by the architect Anatoly Dobrovolsky and engineer G. B. Fux. The beam of the main span is held by a cluster of steel ropes which are fixed to a 119 m (390 ft) tall A-pylon. The bridge also acts as a segment of the Small Ring Road of Kyiv.

Until February 2018 the bridge was named Moskovskyi Bridge (Ukrainian: Московський міст, Moskovskyi Mist) or Moscow 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.
