Why It Matters
In conditions of hostilities, Kyiv's infrastructure is exposed to risks.
In Kyiv they can build a tunnel under the Dnieper. Transport planning expert Dmitry Bespalov told TSN.ua about such an unusual alternative to bridges in the capital.
“Even if the money is found, designing the tunnel will take a year or two, and construction will take another 4-5 years, so it will not save us from the current attacks on bridges,” he emphasized.
According to Bespalov, the construction of the tunnel will cost three times more than the construction of bridges. The expert believes that the Ukrainian authorities will not be able to find such an amount during the fighting.
