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.[2]
It crosses from the right bank of the Dnieper, over the "Bishop's Channel" ("Архієрейська протока") and Monastyrskyi Island, continuing over the main body of the river to its left bank.
