Media report plans for eight additional Dnipro crossings in Kyiv
According to Strana, two crossings are being considered as priorities. Construction and opening dates remain unknown.
Construction of eight additional crossings over the Dnipro in Kyiv is under consideration, with two potentially taking priority. Strana reported this on November 5, 2026, attributing the information to Ivan Fedorov, whom it identified as the head of the Restoration Agency. The outlet linked the need for the crossings to Russian strikes on bridges.
For now, this is a report about plans, not the opening of new routes between the riverbanks. Independent confirmation of the reported specifications from the Restoration Agency could not be obtained; construction start dates, costs and commissioning dates remain unknown.
According to the publication, the eight crossings would have a combined length of 12 kilometres. The outlet claims that locations have already been selected but are not being disclosed for security reasons.
The crossings are described as having two lanes, primarily for vehicles, with pedestrian access also possible. The report does not specify the type of structures, so there is no basis for calling them pontoon bridges.
The outlet places the Kyiv crossings within broader plans: according to its report, 21 crossings are envisaged across Ukraine. That figure refers to the country as a whole, not just the capital.
