Podolsky bridge is nearing completion

Reportedly, the availability of the Kiev-based Podolsky bridge across the Dnieper River accounts for more than 80%, whereas the municipal administration estimates it at 65%.

As expected, workers will connect all the joints of the arch and hang the bridge by cables by this year-end. Large-scale work will be done on the Rybalsky peninsula, where between 150 and 230 bridgebuilders will work in two shifts.

Plans are in hand to complete the installation of reinforcing structures of the bridge next year, as well as to weld the joints of the arch and disassemble temporary supports. Experts say that although these supports look "somewhat fatigued" and rusty, they are strong enough and 100% failure-proof. Currently, professionals of the Paton Electric Welding Institute are monitoring their condition.
