Klitschko is confident that the Podolsk-Voskresensky Bridge can still be completed.

Podolsk BridgeFollowing the notorious destruction of the LK-600 "Zakhariy" special crane in 2011, the Podolsk-Voskresensky Bridge overpass project was deemed a complete failure by the media.

 

However, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko insists the bridge can be completed, though it will take at least three years. If his expectations are met, this long-running project, which was supposedly intended to extend a metro line from the right bank to the Troyeshchyna residential complex, will become the most expensive bridge construction project in the history of global bridge construction and rightfully earn a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Journalists have calculated that 3,424 billion hryvnias have already been spent on the design and construction of the Podilsko-Voskresenskyi Bridge, and experts have added that, according to updated 2017 estimates, all construction work on the bridge (for its commissioning) will cost an additional 11,2 billion hryvnias (over $410 million). Thus, in terms of total cost, the Podilsko-Voskresenskyi Bridge will surpass the Millau Viaduct in France ($400 million), the world's highest bridge over the Siduhe River in China ($100 million), and the largest drawbridge in Europe, the Gustave Flaubert Bridge in France ($155 million).
