The 318-meter Novy Havansky Bridge and connecting hubs are expected to ease commutes to the city center by motorists in the city's Obolon and Minsk districts, as well as for residents on the left bank who motor daily the Dnipro River on the Moskovsky Bridge. The opening of the viaduct was initially planned for November 6. Azarov was accompanied at the opening ceremony by Kyiv Deputy Administration head Oleksandr Popov and former Kyiv head Oleksandr Omelchenko. Photo by Aleksandr Sinitsa / UNIAN
