Half of the bored piles were drilled and concreted on the left-bank part of the Darnitsky Bridge in the capital. They are necessary to create a road junction with two exits to the Dnieper embankment (towards Bazhana Avenue and towards the Paton Bridge) and an entrance to the bridge (from the side of Bazhana Avenue).
