Bridge, Metro Bridge, Paton Bridge. This article deals with the
bridges in Kiev over the Dnieper River and its tributaries. For
the bridge-like structures elsewhere in the city, see articles
on Kiev's architecture and transport.  Kiev, that historically
was situated on the right bank of the Dnieper River, covers both
banks of the river whose width, as it flows through the city,
reaches some several hundred metres. Additionally, several
tributaries fall into the Dnieper inside or just north or south
of the historic city. Currently there are eight bridges spanning
across the river and a few dozen bridges across the canals and
Dnieper tributaries.  Due to the location and the width of the
river, the bridges have always been a very attractive and hard
to realize option throughout the long history of Kiev.  The
temporary floater bridges were known to have existed since the
12th century. Th
