The first capital bridge across the Dnieper in Kiev. It was founded on the site of an old crossing on August 30 (September 11), 1848. and built in 1853. designed by the English engineer Charles Vignol. With its size, it surpassed the Széchenyi Chain Bridge in Budapest, built a few years before it, and became one of the largest in Europe at that time. Destroyed twice. It has not survived to this day. In 1963 The Metro Bridge was built almost at the same place. Another my author's project. The purpose of the project is to show how the bridge was "in life", trying to accurately display all the elements of the structure and convey the atmosphere of the 19th century. Most of the information, thanks to which it became possible to restore all the details of the structure with dimensions and materials, was provided by Alexei Yankovsky, for which many thanks to him.
