Saltovskaya Line

The Saltovskaya Line ( _uk. Салтовська, _ru. Салтовская) is a line of the Kharkiv Metro. It was the second line of the metro, and was first opened in 1984. The line cuts Kharkiv ("Kharkov") on a northeast-southwest axis, making a big northwestern bend as it passes the centre. Part of the track involves travelling on a covered bridge.
