The Metro Bridge (Ukrainian: Міст Метро) is the first metro bridge, part of the Brovarsky prospect spanning across the Dnieper River in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. It was engineered by G. Fuks and Y. Inosov and constructed in 1965 with the expansion of the Kyiv Metro system. The bridge is used for both the Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line of the metro and for automobile traffic.
