Kyiv has begun preparations for the construction of two backup bridges across the Dnieper River, which are intended to serve as an alternative to the main bridges in the event of a Russian attack. The crossings are scheduled to be completed by the end of February 2027, and each of them will be able to provide 30\u201340% of the current capacity of the bridges.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by TSN<\/a> .<\/p>\n

According to the Minister of Reconstruction, Infrastructure and Transport of Ukraine Mykola Kalashnyk, a total of 21 reserve bridge crossings are planned to be built in Ukraine, 8 of them in Kyiv. The construction is provided for by the decision of the State Central Committee.<\/p>\n

The two overpasses currently under construction in the capital will have 1 lane in each direction. They are scheduled to be completed by the end of February 2027.<\/p>\n

Construction sites have already been set up in Kyiv. Preparatory work is currently underway, and embankments are being constructed in some areas. The crossings will be built from ready-made sections. First, the supports are being installed, and then the roadway is being installed.<\/p>\n

Ukraine received part of the structures from the United States, and another part was provided by Japan through the international cooperation agency JICA. Ukraine also expects to receive additional sections from France.<\/p>\n

“Now we have the prospect of receiving about 400 more meters from the French for the amount of 6.8 million. This is donor aid,” Kalashnik noted. The currency of this amount is not specified in the text provided.<\/p>\n

By the way, Russia has modernized its Iskander ballistic missiles, equipping them with optical and radar homing heads for more precise strikes on bridges in Ukraine<\/a> . Moscow seeks to disrupt transport links and divide the Ukrainian energy system into isolated parts.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that according to intelligence, Russia is preparing a new strike on energy infrastructure, bridges across the Dnieper, and civilian facilities<\/a> . The Air Force and Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing for defense, and partners were reminded of the importance of timely supply of air defense equipment.<\/p>\n
