The network showed how the descent from the Metro bridge and the Hydropark station were built in 1964. Rare photos

Until early November 1965, the Dnipro station of the Kyiv subway was the final station. For several years before that date, unique works were underway to extend the Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska metro line to the left bank, a process we can see thanks to rare photos.

The old photos were published in the Kyiv Online community on Facebook. You can see how the metro workers worked 60 years ago.

"A rare photo. Construction of the left-bank descent from the Metro bridge and the Hydropark station. Photo from the book Kyiv Metro," the post reads.

In the published photo, you can see the work of Metrobudiv workers in 1964, a year before the station received its first passengers.

"Hydropark" is the 8th station of the Kyiv subway on the Svyatoshynsko-Brovarska line between the Dnipro and Livoberezhna stations. It is located on Venetskyi Island in the Dniprovskyi district of Kyiv. The station was opened on November 5, 1965.

The Rusanivka residential area in Kyiv is completely surrounded by an artificial canal, which gave the area its popular name, Kyiv Venice. In the 1980s, a series of photographs were taken here that captured the beauty of this location.

Cycling is nowadays a favorite option for active recreation among Kyiv residents. The fact that two-wheeled transport was popular in the early 1910s can be seen in the photo of the first cyclist in the capital.

As OBOZ.UA reported, in 1970, the water level in the Dnipro River in Kyiv was very low. Because of this, large shoals could be seen between the islands located between the left and right banks of the city.
