Six surface pedestrian crossings planned for Bessarabska Square AI
City plans call for six ground-level pedestrian crossings to be installed at Bessarabska Square in central Kyiv, duplicating the existing underground passages that run through the Metrograd shopping centre. Local reporting says work is expected to begin soon, though no exact start date was published. Bessarabska Square sits in central Kyiv where many pedestrians use underpasses; adding surface crossings will change how people cross this busy intersection.
Local media report that municipal crews will equip Bessarabska Square with six new at-grade pedestrian crossings. The project is described as duplicating the current underground connections that pass through the Metrograd shopping centre.
The itemised plan and schedule beyond a near-term start are not included in the report. Kyiv residents and visitors who use the square should watch municipal announcements for precise timelines, traffic adjustments, and any temporary detours during the works.
