Kaplyntsivskyi Bridge

Architecture

The Kaplyntsivskyi Bridge over the Udai River on the southern edge of the village of Kaplyntsi in the Poltava region is considered the longest wooden bridge in Ukraine. Its length, according to various estimates, reaches from 230 to 240 meters (some sources indicate a length of 356 meters, presumably taking into account the earth dam).

According to legend, the first wooden bridge was built across the river at the end of the 19th century. In 1933-1934, a new crossing was built in Kaplyntsi to lay a direct road to Pyriatyn.

The bridge stands on oak piles, has 46 spans. About 600 oak logs were used for construction. On top of the longitudinal beams, oak beams were laid crosswise, which were sheathed with oak boards. Initially, the bridge had a wooden railing.

Now the Kaplyntsivskyi Bridge is part of the "Zaplavnyi Udai" eco-tourist route, laid through the picturesque surroundings of the city of Pyriatyn and nearby villages on the territory of the Pyriatynskyi National Nature Park. It is a popular tourist location due to its beautiful scenery and the opportunity to take interesting photos.
