Street Description
Dzerzhinsky Street runs from the Dnieper River to Victory Square , thus being one of the main highways connecting the Zadniprovsky District with the city center. Actually divided into two parts. On the first of them - from the bridge across the Dnieper to the Rossiya Hotel - there is practically no large development, on the one side is the western slope of Kazan Hill, on the other - the private sector. The second part is much more densely built up and runs through the central part of the city, ending at Victory Square . It acquired its current form in the 1930s - then in a short time it was laid to establish regular transport lines between the city center and the area in the Dnieper region, while the former Bolshaya Engelhardtovskaya Street was included in its structure. A tram ran throughout the street, but several decades later the rails on the section from Smirnov Square (Victory) to the Spartak Stadium were dismantled, the rails are still in operation on the rest of the street.
