Переходи дорогу, как хочешь: коммунальщики закрыли единственный пешеходный мост на Демиевке.

Overpass in emergency condition

The municipal corporation "Kyivavtodor" has closed the pedestrian bridge on Saperno-Slobidska Street due to its emergency state. Now, to cross the busy highway, pedestrians must travel a considerable distance to reach the nearest crossing.

This information was shared on social media by the NGO "Kyiv Passengers".

“It is impossible to cross the highway at all. The nearest bridge is 550 meters away, and pedestrians will have to spend an additional 15-20 minutes to cross the street,” the activists wrote.

According to them, as a result of the closure of the accessible crossing, local residents are also effectively losing quick access to the "Kyiv-Demiivskyi" railway station, where they can board suburban or ring trains.

Reminder, "Kyivavtodor" has announced a tender for the repair of the overpass on Poliarna Street. More than 375 million UAH is planned to be spent for this purpose.
