The length of the bridge is 1366 meters, the width is 25 meters, the width of the roadway is 20.5 metres. In addition, the bridge has pedestrian walkways 1.5 meters wide on both sides.
In recent years, the Ukrainian artillery regularly shelled the Antonov bridge. These attacks aim to hinder the possibility of Russian troops crossing over the river Dnieper, which may facilitate the situation of the Ukrainian army. Judging by the intensity of the shelling of the APU are committed to the complete destruction of the bridge, to his transformation into a completely useless for transportation of troops, military vehicles and transport design.
