The Preobrazhensky Bridge is a historical bridge located in the city of Zaporizhia. Currently, it only allows passage in one direction, from the left to the right bank. The bridge has some potholes and often experiences heavy traffic, leading to frequent traffic jams. It is recommended to take an alternative route via the Arch Bridge, which may be longer in distance but faster in travel time.
Despite its flaws, the Preobrazhensky Bridge offers some nice spots to visit. It has a pleasant atmosphere, particularly in the evening, and provides a beautiful view of the surroundings. However, it can get noisy during rush hour due to the high volume of cars and people. Nevertheless, the bridge serves as a great observation deck.
The bridge serves as a crucial connection between the two banks of the city, but many residents, like myself, hope for the construction of an additional bridge to improve transportation in the area. The Preobrazhensky Bridge lacks decorative lighting and is in need of repair. The absence of bumpers and occasional holes in the sidewalk pose safety concerns for pedestrians. Driving on the bridge can be challenging due to its condition.
Despite its shortcomings, walking across the bridge is a must-do to truly appreciate the beauty and strength of the Dnieper River. The bridge offers magnificent views of the city, Khortitsa, and the Old Dnieper. It guarantees excellent impressions at any time of the year, day or night. However, it is advisable to avoid rush hours as the continuous flow of traffic can be overwhelming.
Overall, the Preobrazhensky Bridge is a significant structure in the city, having served for more than 45 years. While it requires repair and improvements, it still holds historical charm and offers memorable experiences for visitors and residents alike.

The historical bridge of the city of Zaporizhia. Today, the passage through the bridges of Preobrazhensky is possible only in one direction, from the left to the right bank. Potholes in places

Eternal traffic jams. It is better not to go here, but to make a detour across the Arch Bridge. Debt in distance, but faster in time.

Preobrazhensky Bridges - two bridges across the Dnieper in Zaporozhye. Construction began in the spring of 1949 and was completed in 1952. The official opening took place on December 31, 1952. Due to the lack of high-tech steel in the postwar years, .. Read more »the bridges were built of monolithic reinforced concrete. The bridges are named after the project developer, engineer BM Preobrazhensky. The railway and the highway connecting Khortytskyi district with the city center pass through the bridges.
On January 3, 1944, the construction of temporary postwar bridges began in Zaporizhia. Immediately after the expulsion of the Germans from the territory of Khortytsia and the right bank, the construction of temporary bridges began, which would allow for the restoration of the main bridges to establish a railway connection between Zaporozhye and Nikopol.
An embankment was built on the left, right bank and on the island of Khortytsia, 14 km of railroad tracks were laid, and temporary bridges with a total length of 1886 m were built across both channels of the Dnieper.
The construction of the embankment on the island of Khortytsia was carried out manually. The southern part of the dam was connected to a wooden bridge through the floodplains and the Dnieper, the length of this bridge was 1330 meters. This bridge grew 30 meters in length every day. More than 1,500 piles were killed here alone. The supports of the temporary bridge were made of sleepers and logs impregnated with a special composition. On them wooden trusses fastened, from above a flooring from beams laid and railway tracks were laid.
The second bridge, connecting the western part of the embankment on the island of Khortytsia with the right bank, was 556 meters long and was built in just 12 days.
The construction of the bridge across the New Dnieper was completed on February 20, 1944, and on February 23, 1944, the first train was solemnly missed along the entire bypass and on both bridges.
These bridges have served for almost 9 years. They were dismantled in December 1952 - only when the capital bridges of Preobrazhensky appeared over the Dnieper.

Lovely bridge, but looks very tired. Indeed, he is already almost 70 years old. According to history, before the Preobrazhensky bridge was steel, but during the war, Soviet troops blew it up twice. After the first time, the Germans successfully recon.. Read more »structed - the network has photographs of those times. As a result, the bridge was rebuilt from reinforced concrete and opened in 1952 along with a single-arch.

The bridge itself is a very picturesque place. He looks like a water snake to me. Above is the railway, below the highway with a place for pedestrians. But for drivers and pedestrians it is a very stressful place. There is a congestion here, because .. Read more »the bridge is not designed for so many cars. For pedestrians and even more cyclists, there are also no proper conditions, especially in terms of crossing the road at the beginning or end of the bridge.
