A Russian air attack on Saturday 3 October hit the Northern Bridge across the Dnipro River in Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
The strike damaged the road surface and the trolleybus overhead cables, and traffic from the east to the west bank was blocked.
No casualties were reported.
The strike came a day after a different bridge was hit for the second successive day, forcing full or partial suspension of traffic across it and two other Dnipro bridges.
Klitschko held a city security council meeting on Friday and called the situation 'very dramatic'.
