During the six years of construction of the Podilsky Bridge, its value has doubled

The construction of the Podilsk bridge crossing over the Dnipro in Kyiv, which has been going on for over six years, has become a symbol of large-scale costs and numerous violations. During this time, the cost of the project increased from the initial estimates of 4.3 billion hryvnias to 8.7 billion hryvnias. And this, as experts note, is not yet the final amount.

"It was established that in April 2017, the KP "Directorate for the construction of road and transport facilities in Kyiv" and a private company signed a general contract for the construction of the Podil bridge crossing worth more than UAH 4.3 billion. During 6 years, the parties concluded additional agreements, which increased the term of the contract and its price. As of December 2024, more than 8.7 billion hryvnias have been paid under the contract," the prosecutor's office explained the essence of the case.

In addition, the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine established that 2 participants in the construction tender (including the winner) coordinated their actions back in 2017. "Yes, the tender participants used one IP address and one device, communicated with each other, engaged the same authorized person. In this way, the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine came to the conclusion that the companies that participated in the tender have common interests and relationships," the message reads.

It is noted that during 2022-2023, these societies tried to appeal the decision of AKMU in the courts, but the courts of all instances refused to satisfy these demands.

Having verified all the facts of violations and taking into account the need to complete the bridge, which will continue to require expenditures from the budget, the prosecutor's office through the court demands to declare invalid the general contracting agreement between KP "Directorate of construction of road and transport facilities of of Kyiv" and a private company that has been building the bridge since 2017.
