2-level Preobrazhensky Bridge across Dnipro river in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. Upper level is for rail traffic (double track electrified DC 3000V in 1935 - one of the earliest electrified line in former USSR), lower level- 2-lane regular road. Built in 1932, the bridge was destroyed during WW2 and completely rebuilt shortly after. Due to the low-capacity of the bridge for regular road traffic, a new bridge is now being constructed about 200m down the river to the right of the photo.BR>
Length of the bridge 750m, height 45m.
