The Nicholas Chain Bridge or Mykolaivskyi Chain Bridge (Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Langx) was a chain bridge over the Dnieper that existed from 1855 to 1920 in Kyiv.
History
The British engineer Charles Blacker Vignoles directed the bridge's construction, and Fox, Henderson and Company supplied the ironwork. In 1851 a silver model of the bridge was presented at The Great Exhibition in London.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. Building started in 1848 and was completed in 1853. The 776-metre-long (2,546 ft) bridge was the largest at that time in Europe.
In 1920, during the Polish-Soviet War, retreating Polish troops blew up the bridge. It was restored based on old drawings by Evgeny Paton, and opened again in 1925 under the name Yevgenia Bosch Bridge. Paton significantly changed its structure and raised it by several metres, so that the Yevgenia Bosch Bridge may be considered as a new bridge.
On 19 September 1941, retreating Soviet troops demolished the Yevgenia Bosch Bridge. It was not restored after the war. In 1965 in place of the former chain bridge a new Kyiv Metro Bridge was built.
