Kiev, located on both the right and the left banks of the Dnieper River, whose width, as it flows through the city, reaches some several hundred meters, currently has seven 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. Additionally, several tributaries fall into the Dnieper inside or just north or south of the historic city.
