The second oldest bridge in the city, and the first railway-arch bridge in the Soviet Union, at the time of its construction it was the longest reinforced concrete arched bridge in Europe. It crosses from the right bank of the Dnieper, over the "Bishop's Channel" (" ") and Monastyrskyi Island, continuing over the main body of the river to its left bank.
