Kyiv authorities plan to commission two new metro stations of Kyiv Metropoliten – Prospekt Pravdy and Mostytska – within three years, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko has said.

“We plan to build and put into operation two new metro stations to Vynohradar within three years,” he said at a session of Kyiv City Council, summarizing the work of the city authorities over the past year and outlining plans for 2018.

According to the Kyiv mayor, among the main tasks is the completion of the Podilsko-Voskresensky Bridge, which is an important part of the project for the construction of metro to Troyeschyna.

In addition, Kyiv will begin the implementation of the project to build a pedestrian bridge, which will connect two tourist areas – Volodymyrska Hirka and the Druzhby Narodiv Arch.

It is also planned in 2018 to reconstruct Shuliavsky overpass and renew the rolling stock of public transport.

According to Klitschko, due to the increase in the revenue part of the city budget in 2018 to Hr 49.1 billion, the capital’s estimate envisages significant expenses for medicine, education and social protection.
