caption_attribution_description: English: Parkovyy Pedestrian Bridge in Kiev.
context_page_description: Kiev, historically situated on the right bank of the Dnieper River, now covers both banks of the river whose width, as it flows through the city, reaches several hundred metres. Additionally, several tributaries join the Dnieper inside or just north or south of the historic city. Currently there are eight bridges spanning across the river and a few dozen bridges across the canals and Dnieper tributaries.
  Due to the location and the width of the river, the bridges have always been a very attractive and hard to realize option throughout the long history of Kiev.
  Temporary floater bridges were known to have existed since the 12th century. Stationary bridges existed in Kiev from the mid-19th century, but none of them survived the turbulent events that followed the 1917 Russian Revolution.
context_section_description: The Parkovy Bridge aka Pedestrian Bridge (50°27′25″N 30°32′03″E), designed by architect V. Suvorov and engineered by V. Kiriyenko, was built in 1957. The bridge is a light construction 400 m (1,312 ft) in length that connects Kiev to the park-area Trukhaniv Island. This is the only bridge constructed specifically for the pedestrian traffic over the Dnieper fairway, and for this reason it's formally included in the number of Kiev bridges across Dnieper.
