Ukraine, Dnipropetrovsk, Merefo-Kherson railway bridge

Description:

Merefo-Kherson Bridge is a railway bridge in the city of Dnepropetrovsk. For its expressiveness and high technical qualities, time-tested, it was taken under the protection of the state as an architectural monument. The uniqueness of the bridge is that it is the only railway bridge in Europe with a curved trajectory.

The construction of the bridge was carried out in 1912-1914, but the construction stopped the First World War and only in December 1932 the bridge was commissioned.

During the Great Patriotic War, the Nazis completely destroyed the bridge, leaving only ruins. The bridge was restored according to the project of E.G. Teteruk. About 50 million rubles were spent on the restoration. For the improvement of technology in construction, N.M. Molokanov was awarded the Stalin Prize.
