The Ukrainian government is constructing earthen causeways and pontoon crossings to provide backup traffic capacity if Kiev's bridges are destroyed.

#Kiev prepares for life without its bridges Kiev will begin building backup crossings over the #Dnepr next week in case the city's bridges are knocked out, according to Nikolai Kalashnik, Ukraine's Minister for Reconstruction, Infrastructure and Transport. The plan relies on earth causeways and pontoon crossings linking the left and right banks. Kalashnik says construction could take up to three months

Construction of backup crossings across the Dnieper—in the form of earthen causeways—is set to begin in #Kiev next week. This was announced by Infrastructure Minister Kalashnik. The crossings are intended to provide at least half of the current traffic capacity. The project will take up to three months to complete. Authorities are even considering the construction of a tunnel beneath the Dnieper. The video shows a strike on Kiev's Northern Bridge.
