Наводни́цький міст (Navodnytskyi Bridge) is the collective name for several bridges across the Dnieper that existed in Kyiv between 1713 and 1953. According to historical chronicles, one of Kyiv's main river crossings existed on the Dnieper near the mouth of the Lybid River as early as the 10th and 11th centuries. By the 16th century, the Navodnytskyi crossing operated at this location, consisting of two ferries and a wooden bridge over the Telbin (which was a Dnieper inlet at the time). Construction of the state-owned Navodnytskyi pontoon bridge began in 1713; it was dismantled during the spring ice drift. In 1744, a permanent wooden bridge—450 sazhens long and featuring cables twisted from willow withies—was built; it was owned by the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.

Hydropark (Kyiv Metro)
Hydropark (Kyiv Metro)

Hydropark (Ukrainian: Гідропарк, (listen)) is a station on the Kyiv Metro's Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line. It opened on 5 November 1965 as part of the construction of the Brovarsky radius. The station is situated on the Venetsiansky Island right next to Hydropark. Unpopulated and not used for housing, it was transformed by the station into a summer resort for Kyivans when it fell in between the future line to Darnytsia and the new Brovary avenue that ran parallel to it. Such planning is explained in the seasonal operation timetable which make the station rather distinctive. During the summer months, it receives quite a moderate passenger traffic, particularly on weekends and public holidays. During the winter months, there have been known instances when not a person would get on or off the station for whole weeks. There have even been attempts for the station to be skipped during peak hours. In its appearance, the station is a typical example of the 1960s policy on Soviet public architecture. The station demonstrates its fully, minimise costs, simplicity (hence being surface level) and aesthetic appearance (architects I. Maslenkov and V. Bohdanovsky). A lone grey granite faced platform with a concrete hinged roof is supported by green ceramic tiled pillars. The only decoration that prevents the station from losing its face completely are small ceramic flower motifs on the top of the pillars. Entrances and exits come from two vestibules that are located under the platform and connected with large subways that run underneath the station and Brovary Avenue. A unique feature of the station is that in addition, it has a second southern platform that would have allowed a quicker unload of passengers from the centrebound areas. However, its use has been discontinued in 1985 and in turn a second, western vestibule was built in 1990. However, during the winter months, it is closed and the space is used otherwise.
