The Sozh (Belarusian: Сож, romanized: Sož,[1] IPA: [sɔʐ]; Russian: Сож; Ukrainian: Сож) is a river flowing in Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. It is a left bank tributary of the Dnieper. The Sozh passes through Gomel, the second largest city in Belarus.[2]
The river is crossed by the Sozh Floating Bridge at Karma and an elegant steel arch at Gomel, which is featured on a Rbls 300 national stamp.[3]
