The Wavy Bridge in Obolon – a city moving with waves
On the Obolon embankment in Kyiv lies one of the most interesting modern pedestrian landmarks – the Wavy Bridge. This crossing over the Dnipro Bay immediately catches attention with its unusual shape. Its smooth curves resemble the movement of water, as if architecture captured a river wave and froze it in metal and concrete.

The bridge’s shape creates a sense of motion even when it is still. During the day it stands out in the cityscape; at night, lighting turns it into a flowing line above the water.
