Prospect Beresteiskyi

Prospect Beresteiskyi (Ukrainian: Проспект Берестейський, lit.'Brest Avenue'), is the second longest public roadway (prospekt) in Kyiv, Ukraine. The roadway was created in the second half of the 20th century (1964) as part of the urbanized area of the Brest-Lytovske highway and was known as Brest-Lytovskyi prospect. At the beginning of the Soviet perestroika period in 1985, it was renamed to Prospect Peremohy. It gained its current name in February 2023.[1]

History

Originally being terminated at the Povitroflotskyi overpass, in 1985, when it was renamed, the prospect was extended all the way to the Halytska Square which until 1985 was part of boulevard Tarasa Shevchenka.

Through Halytska Square and boulevard Tarasa Shevchenka, the roadway reaches Khreshchatyk at Bessarabska Square.

Along the streets are located various important institutions of government, education and culture.

It is part of the former M 06 business route (currently rerouted along the Kyiv Great Ring Road). Along the prospect are located several overpasses and bridges (Povitroflotskyi, Shuliavskyi, over the Railway crossing, Kovelskyi, over the Great Ring road, and Havanskyi bridge). There are also six metro stations of the Sviatoshynsko–Brovarska line as well as three railway stations.
