Kyiv Cable Cars: Coming Soon?
The Kyiv municipal authorities hope to construct a cableway network linking the heart of the city to the Left Bank via the islands of the Dnipro River

The standout concept is probably an initiative to create a network of cableway stations straddling the Dnipro River and connecting the ancient heart of Right Bank Kyiv with the residential district of Rusanivka on the Left Bank.

The first stage of this project envisages the construction of three cableway stations connecting the Druzhby Narodiv Arch platform with Poshtova Square in the riverside Podil district and Truhaniv Island in the center of the Dnipro River. This phase of the project comes with a price tag of EUR 16.65 million and an estimated payback period of five-and-a-half years.
