Completed in 2019, the massive arched steel and concrete structure was built to cover an older Soviet-era version that had significantly deteriorated. Standing 108 metres high (354 feet) and 162 metres long, it spans 257 metres and is designed to last at least 100 years, according to the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development. The project cost $1.6 billion and was funded by 45 donor countries and institutions.
