[7] The original contractor that was building the bridge since 2003 was Mostobud but the work went slowly and stopped in 2014, so after the 2017 contest EcoBudTrade was chosen to finish the construction.

Starting in Podil the bridge will cross the Rybalskyi Peninsula, the Dnieper River, Trukhaniv Island, and the Rusanivski Sady dacha community, terminating on the left bank.

[9] It consists of several major components: The bridge roadway is intended to have three lanes each way with a projected traffic intensity of 59,000 vehicles per day.

[9] After some years of being abandoned, the bridge reappeared in the Kyiv master plan for 2005–2020, Mostobud was chosen to finish the construction.

At the start of construction, the bridge was planned to be opened in 2007, but inadequate funding meant that the completion date was postponed to 2008.

There was a plan to build a skyscraper inside the interchange as a part of Kyiv City office center that had to be built on the shipbuilding plant location, but due to the financial situation the project was scrapped.

In February it was decided to buy and demolish the private houses that were blocking the construction process and resettle the owners to Bykivnia.

In December 2011, legal issues with the private owners of the land were settled, and the construction process was finally expanded to Trukhaniv Island.

The work on an arch was planned to be finished in October 2012, but lack of funding caused the construction to slow down, so even in 2013, there was almost no progress.

In February 2014 despite the ongoing Revolution of Dignity the process of arch's segment lifting had begun, it was finished by the 4th March in a strong fog.

In November 2019 installation of piers at Rusanivski Sady and Podil has begun, in December assembly of the bridge at the left bank and preparation for metro tunnel construction started.

In January 2020 the assembly of the exit to Podil began using Mammoet equipment, also a part of Kuznia na Rybalskomu territory was cleared.

[13] On 1 December 2023, Klitschko announced that the finished section of the bridge was partially opened, only allowing special transport, emergency service vehicles, military, and one new bus route to pass through.

[4] In July 2019 SAGA Development introduced the Novyi Podil residential complex, to build it they had planned to demolish Kyiv River Port.

The eco activists were stating that the first variant will harm the Raiduzhne Lake over which the bridge should go through to reach the Suleimana Stalskoho Street.

[16] Since February 2019 it was planned to make an alternative project of the bridge with a junction right before Raiduzhne which leads to Alishera Navoii Avenue.

In September residents of Rusanivski Sady asked Kyiv City Council to cancel the construction through the Horbachykha reserve at the bank of Chortoryi Gulf and pay them a compensation for demolishing their houses.

But, the connection to Shukhevycha Avenue to the north is impossible to finish without the construction going through the new square garden at Vershyhory Street that was opened already during Raiduzhne Lake debate, so the ecology would be harmed in both cases.
