Hey guys I been having issue's locating the Intake Manifold Tuning Valve Control Circuit/Open (Bank 1). Could someone help me figure out where its located and if you have a pic of the location that would be really awesome... I cleaned out my ERG valve and than i started getting error's on my car...When i start it up in the morning the car will only idle at 600 rpm's when cold. Not the 1500 RPM's it used to when its a cold start. Thanks for the help Chris.  

• Feb 22, 2010

Check connectors at the VICS and VTCS solenoids (the passenger side/intake manifold).  

• Feb 24, 2010

is this on top of the intake manifold? the green and white connectors?  

• Mar 16, 2011

Im getting code p0660 also. Where is this part so I can check too. Im hoping it is minor and just a loose connection. If it isnt what should I expect to pay?  

CheeseHelmet

CheeseHelmet said: P0660 means your VICS solenoid is probably dead. It's located in the spot you mentioned (on top of the IM), pull off both solenoids and take a good look at them. If yours failed like mine did it should be very obvious which one it is, it'll be melted on one side Click to expand...

talltim said: ok dealer only part I suppose. How much did it cost? (about) Click to expand...

well it isnt too much. I suppose it just makes it sluggish at hi rpm. The price doesn't worry me at all.

So I have a 2010 Dodge Journey 3.5 with 2 issues. Fault code alternates between P0660 and P1005. Both are related to intake tuning valve. I looked at all the connectors,ohmed out wires and even put a new valve on. Of course the light comes back on. Usually the next day, sometimes the 2nd day. When I replaced the valve there was engine oil on it. I thought this was odd. It has started using oil now since the light has been coming on. About a quart every 2 weeks. I do not see any oil in the PVC hose or air filter housing. Its a V-6 and I replaced the rear actuator. Any ideas or anybody seen this before? The only other thing I found was the air filter was extremely dirty. Of course I replaced it, but it has had no change. Thanks. Birdtracker  

when you had the actuator off did you check to see if the valve in the intake moved free? we've seen some of them broken or sticking and needed to replace the intake.  

On the rear actuator the blade is on the motor. I did take the actuator off the front one and the valve does turn freely. I am asking myself if I need the front actuator. Birdtracker  

alshttp://www.ebay.com/itm/2007-2010-Chrysler-Dodge-Intake-Manifold-Tuning-Valve-Actuator-OEM-NEW-MOPAR-/321225120325o another question why do they give you 2 big orings and 1 small one. I did not see a small one and it only uses 1 large oring. I bought mine thru the dealer. Just used the ebay ad for the picture. Birdtracker  

that is the one I replaced. The front one is only a motor. From what I read after "googling" oil consumption, is that these are real POS. Birdtracker  

i should of specified, but i posted the pic to show you where they show the small o-ring that you mentioned. to be honest the only trouble we see with these engines are the lifters/tappets being noisey, replace the rocker assemblies and quiet again.  

I am gonna pull it back out and look in with a mirror and see if its in the housing in a holder. Maybe it fell off. Thanks for the help. Birdtracker  

So I tryed a few things and seems the engine light has not returned in over a week. If it comes back on now, I think I will strike the biggest match I can find and burn it to the ground. What an aggravating POS. Birdtracker  

So, did you solve this or, did the owner just unload it? I'm getting desperate.  

How did you solve this? I'm having similar issues.  

The owner unloaded it. It was drinking oil, the trans was going south, needed brakes, and tires. I would look at the intake manifold. Is yours using oil? Birdtracker  

I replaced the tuning valve with 1 from a scrap yard. Do you think the one from wreckers had a problem with the connector?  

Check EGR system....... Starts to get sticky and causes excess crankcase vacuum.......eats oil.  

I did head gaskets on my 3.5 this spring, and although I wasn't having the same issue as the OP, when I removed the intake plenum there was at least a cup of what only could be described as a combo of oil and raw fuel. It was sloshing around there fairly good. Maybe this is what OP has and screwing with that valve? Mine had 169,000 miles on it and I had never cleaned the plenum out until now.  

I was getting code p2006 and I could not get it to clear. The dealer said it was the tuning valve just like the one in the picture above. I changed that but now I keep getting code p1005.  

My oil seems fine.  

no he unloaded it, first it was using alot of oil, the transmission started slipping, it needed tires and brakes. He just didn't see the reason to put all the money into it and still have a turd. Birdtracker  

thanks. I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. I just bought a brand new valve thinking the one from the wreckers was bad but that wasn't the case. I've inspected the wires and can't see any thing wrong with them either. I don't know where else to look.  

so is yours just a check engine light or is yours using oil or both? Did you replace both valves or just one? Did you take the front one off and see if the flapper turns inside the intake? Birdtracker  

I have a little bit of oil in my manifold. I only replaced the back valve as that was the one the code was telling me too. I also had it diagnosed at the dodge dealer. I was not able to clear the first code (p2006 I think) that's what made the dealer think the valve was worn out. Once i put the new one on the code cleared and CEL went out right away. I took it for a test drive and all seemed good but the 2nd time I drove it the CEL came back but this time it was p1005 it says poor connection or faulty wire. I've visually checked the wires and connectors and they look ok. I'm not skilled enough to test them with a meter. I also jut took the front valve off and everything seems to move freely.  

I also just noticed that when I clear the code and start the car I can not get it to rev higher than about 2500 rpms unless I turn the car off and restart it. Could this be related?  

well you need to have the wires ohmed out from the valves to the pcm. They had a problem with wires being rubbed thru. Its always going to take 2 drives to get the light to come back on. It (pcm) has to see a fault 2 times in a row. Birdtracker

Dnipropetrovsk Oblast

Dnipropetrovsk Oblast ( Ukrainian : Дніпропетровська область , romanized :   Dnipropetrovska oblast ), is an oblast (province) in simultaneously southern, eastern and central Ukraine , the most important industrial region of the country. It was created on February 27, 1932. Dnipropetrovsk Oblast has a population of about 3,096,485 (2022 estimate), [4] approximately 80% of whom live centering on administrative centers : Dnipro , Kryvyi Rih , Kamianske , Nikopol and Pavlohrad . The Dnieper River runs through the oblast.

Administrative subdivisions

Demographics, age structure, cities and towns, environment, colleges and universities, notable people from dnipropetrovsk oblast, external links.

The Dnipropetrovsk Oblast is located by most part in eastern Ukraine (like Dnipro Raion and other eastern more raions), though it has some parts in central (like Kamianske Raion ) and southern ( Nikopol Raion ) Ukraine. The area of the oblast (31,974   km 2 ) comprises about 5.3% of the total area of the country. Its longitude from north to south is 130   km, from east to west – 300   km. The oblast borders the Poltava and Kharkiv Oblasts on the north, the Donetsk Oblast on the east, the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson Oblasts on the south, and the Mykolayiv and Kirovohrad Oblasts on the west.

The Black Sea Lowland covers about half of the territory of the oblast, where it lies only within the west bank of the Dnieper. In Terny , a Ternivsky meteorite crater is located. It is 11   km (6.8   mi) in diameter and it’s age is estimated at 280 ± 10 million years ( Permian ). The crater is not exposed at the surface. [6] The Dnieper Upland contains a number of minerals including iron , manganese , granite , graphite , brown coal , and kaolin . Kryvbas is an important economic region, specializing in iron ore mining and the steel industry. It is arguably the main iron ore region of Eastern Europe . Named after the city of Kryvyi Rih , the mining base of the region occupies the southwestern part of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, as well as the small neighboring parts of the Kirovohrad and Kherson Oblasts . [7]

The region possesses major deposits of iron ore and some other metallurgical ores. To exploit them, several large mining companies were founded here in the middle of the 20th century. Most of them are located in Kryvyi Rih itself, which is the longest city in Europe (roughly 67 km (41.6 mi) in a straight line from one end to another).

Much of the Dnipropetrovsk oblast is located within the boundaries of the Ukrainian Shield and only the northern regions and the extreme eastern part of the territory are confined to the south-eastern side of the Dnipro-Donets depression.

In the geological structure of the region, the breeds come from the archaea, [ clarification needed ] the Proterozoic , the Paleozoic , the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic .

In the 6th to 8th centuries AD the first settlements of Slavs appeared on the banks of the Dnieper within the region. During the period of Kievan Rus' (9th to 12th centuries AD) the Dnieper River functioned as one of the main trade corridors of medieval Eastern Europe, part of the route "from the Varangians to the Greeks" , which connected the Baltic Sea region with the Crimea and with the capital of Byzantium , Constantinople . The Dnieper also served as a major route for transporting the armies of Kyiv princes on their way to the Byzantine coastal cities in the early 9th and late 9th centuries. [8] [9]

At the beginning of the 15th century, Tatar tribes inhabiting the right bank of the Dnieper were driven away by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania . However, by the mid-15th century, the Nogai (who lived north of the Sea of Azov ) and the Crimean Khanate invaded these lands. [ citation needed ] The Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Crimean Khanate agreed to a border along the Dnieper, and farther east along the Samara River , i.e. through what is today the city of Dnipro. At this time there appeared a new force, the Cossacks - armed free men not subject to any feudal lord - who soon came to dominate the region. They later became known as Zaporozhian Cossacks , from Zaporizhzhia , the lands south of Naddniprianshchyna ( Zaporizhzhia translates as "the Land Beyond the Weirs [Rapids]"). This period of raids and fighting caused considerable devastation and depopulation in the Pontic steppe ; the area became known as the "Wilderness" or the "Wild Fields".

In 1635, the Polish government built the Kodak fortress above the Dnieper Rapids at Kodaky , partly as a result of rivalry in the region between Poland, Turkey and the Crimean Khanate , [10] and partly to maintain control over Cossack activity (i.e. to suppress the Cossack raiders and to prevent peasants moving out of the area). [11] On the night of 3 or 4 August 1635, the Cossacks of Ivan Sulyma captured the fort by surprise, burning it down and butchering the garrison of about 200 West European mercenaries under Jean Marion. [11] The fort, rebuilt by French engineer Guillaume Le Vasseur de Beauplan [12] for the Polish government in 1638, had a mercenary garrison. [11] Kodak was captured by Zaporozhian Cossacks on 1 October 1648, and was garrisoned by the Cossacks until its demolition in accordance with the Treaty of the Pruth in 1711. [13]

Under the Treaty of Pereyaslav of 1654, the territory came within the sphere of influence of the Moscow-based Tsardom of Russia . In 1774 Prince Grigori Potemkin was appointed governor of Novorossiysk Governorate , and after the destruction of the Zaporozhian Sich in 1775, he started founding cities in the region and encouraging foreign settlers. The city of Yekaterinoslav (present-day Dnipro) was founded in 1776, not in its current location, but at the confluence of the River Samara with the River Kil'chen' at Loshakivka , north of the Dnieper. On May 8, 1775, after the end of the Russian-Turkish War of 1768 to 1774 , Russian authorities opened a postal station and track which linked Kremenchuk city, the Kinburn foreland and Ochakiv , all locations of the Imperial Russian Army.

In December 1796, Emperor Paul I re-established the Novorossiysk Governorate, mostly with land from the former Yekaterinoslav Viceroyalty . In 1802, this province was divided into the Nikolayev Governorate (known as the Kherson Governorate from 1803), Yekaterinoslav Governorate , and the Taurida Governorate . The capital of the Yekaterinoslav Governorate was the city of Yekaterinoslav (modern Dnipro). It was located within the former lands of the Zaporizhian Sich . The governorate bordered to the north with the Kharkov Governorate and Poltava Governorate , to the west and southwest with the Kherson Governorate , to the south with the Taurida Governorate and Sea of Azov , and to the east with the Don Host Oblast .

Olexander Paul (1832-1890) discovered iron ore and initiated smelting, [14] [15] and this became the core of a developing a mining district. [16] In 1874 Emperor Alexander II initiated the founding project of a railway, [17] running 505 kilometres (314   mi) . This enabled transportation directly to the nearest factories and greatly sped up the development of the region.

On 1 August 1925, the Yekaterinoslav Governorate administration was discontinued, and in 1926 the city of Yekterinoslav was renamed Dnipropetrovsk after Ukrainian Soviet leader Grigory Petrovsky . [18] Before the introduction of oblasts in 1932, the Ukrainian SSR comprised 40 okrugs , which had replaced the former Russian Imperial guberniya (governorate) subdivisions. In 1932 the territory of the Ukrainian SSR was re-organized into oblasts. The first oblasts were Vinnytsia Oblast , Kyiv Oblast , Odesa Oblast , Kharkiv Oblast , and Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Soon after that, in the summer of 1932, Donetsk Oblast was formed out of eastern parts of Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts.

During the Holodomor in the 1930s, more than 200 collective farms in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast were put on "Blackboards" which implied a complete blockade of trade and food-aid to villages under-performing in fulfilling grain-procurement quotas; a number representing more than half of all such "Blackboards" throughout all of the Ukrainian SSR. [19]

During the 1991 referendum , 90.36% of votes in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast favored the Declaration of Independence of Ukraine . A survey conducted in December 2014 by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology found 2.2% of the oblast's population supported their region joining Russia, 89.9% did not support the idea, and the rest were undecided or did not respond. [20]

The city of Dnipropetrovsk was renamed "Dnipro" in May 2016 as part of the decommunization laws enacted a year earlier. [21] Dnipropetrovsk Oblast was not renamed because it is mentioned by name in the Constitution of Ukraine , and the oblast can only be renamed by a constitutional amendment . [22] In April 2018 a group of over a hundred deputies formally initiated a proposal in the Ukrainian Parliament to change the name to Sicheslav Oblast ; in February 2019, the Verkhovna Rada voted to officially amend the Constitution, thus granting state sanction to the name change. [23] Later that year the Constitutional Court officially approved the change. The oblast's administrative centre and largest city, Dnipro , had had the unofficial name "Sicheslav" (commemorating the Zaporizhian Sich ) in 1918–21 during the Ukrainian War of Independence . [24] Since then, the renaming process has stalled ( as of 2023 [ update ] ), for reasons such as the 2019 presidential and parliamentary elections, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine (2022 onwards). [25]

During the Russian invasion, the cities of Dnipro , Kryvyi Rih , and Nikopol , among other locations in the region, were bombed by Russia. Russian troops also shelled the village of Ternove and surrounding areas. [26] Reports from Ukrainian military groups suggest this village - along with Berezove, Novoheorhiivka and Zaporizke - was attacked and then occupied for an unknown period of time, evincing that the Russian troops entered Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Ukrainian military claimed to have cleared Russian troops from the village on 14 March 2022. [27] [ better   source   needed ] It was also reported that Russian troops were pushed from areas near Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and Kherson Oblast, near the border. [28] Hannivka was occupied, [29] liberated, [30] and shelled [31] during the invasion. However, as of September   2022 [ update ] , there has been no further ground fighting and the oblast remains completely under Ukrainian control.

The following data incorporates the number of each type of administrative divisions of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast:

• Administrative center – 1 ( Dnipro )
• Raions – 7;
• City districts – 18 (Dnipro – 8, Kryvyi Rih – 7, Kamianske −3);
• Villages – 1438;
• Urban-type settlement – 46;
• Cities – 20.
• Village communities – 288.

The local administration of the oblast is controlled by the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Rada. The governor of the oblast is the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Rada speaker, appointed by the President of Ukraine .

Since July 2020, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast consists of the following seven raions:

• Dnipro Raion ;
• Kamianske Raion ;
• Kryvyi Rih Raion ;
• Nikopol Raion ;
• Novomoskovsk Raion ;
• Pavlohrad Raion ;
• Synelnykove Raion .

Historically, Dnieper Ukraine comprised territory that roughly corresponded to the area of Ukraine within the expanding Russian Empire . Ukrainians sometimes call it Great Ukraine (Velyka Ukrayina). Historically, this region is tightly entwined with the history of Ukraine and is considered the heart of the country.

Ukrainian (67,0%) and Russian (31,9%) language are both used, with Russian being more common in cities, while Ukrainian is the dominant language in rural communities. These details result in a significant difference across different survey results, as even a small restating of a question switches responses of a significant group of people. The speaking of Surzhyk instead of Russian or Ukrainian is wide and viewed negatively by nationalist language activists. Because it is neither the one nor the other, they regard Surzhyk as a threat to the uniqueness of Ukrainian culture .

History of Dnipro

Before the founding of dnipro - the 9th-15th centuries.

Presumably in the 9th century AD, on the territory of the Monastery Island (in the center of today’s Dnipro), Byzantine monks founded a monastery (hence the name of the island). According to legend, it was the northernmost point, where one of Christ’s disciples, Andrew the First-Called, reached in his mission of Christian teaching.

The squads of Kyiv princes sailed past the monastery on their way to Crimea and Constantinople and often stayed here for the night. The monastery was most likely destroyed during the Mongol invasion in 1240.

After the Mongol invasion, the region was desolate; the sedentary population moved far to the north-west. In the steppes, which received the name “The Wild Fields”, the Nogai hordes roamed, subject to the Crimean Khan.

In the first half of the 15th century, nomads were driven out of the right bank of the Dnieper River by the Lithuanians. The border between the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Crimean Khanate, which emerged in 1441, passed along the Dnieper from its mouth and further eastward - along the Samara River - that is, along the territory of present day Dnipro.

In the 16th century, a gradual settlement and revival of the region began, especially after the formation of the Zaporozhye Cossacks.

In 1635, the Polish authorities built the fortress of Kodak at the first Dnieper rapids to control the movements of the Cossacks. Today, it is the village of Stari Kodaky located on the southern outskirts of Dnipro, where you can see the remains of earthen ramparts.

In 1667, according to the Truce of Andrusovo between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Tsardom of Russia, Left-Bank Ukraine, retaining its autonomy, officially became part of Russia. In 1711, after the failure of the military campaign of Peter I, under the terms of the Prut Treaty with the Ottoman Empire, the lands of Zaporozhye again fell under the control of the Crimean Khanate, and the Russian fortresses in the region were demolished.

After the war against the Ottoman Empire in 1735-1739, Russia regained control over this region. However, the border with the Crimean Khanate passed only 100 km to the south, which prevented the development of the region. In 1764, the autonomy of the Left-Bank Ukraine was abolished.

As a result of another war against the Ottomans, the Russian Empire gained control of the mouth of the Dnieper River and Crimea. After that, the need for the Zaporozhian Host, a military force defending the southern borders of the country, disappeared.

Foundation of Dnipro

For the development of the annexed lands, an administrative center was required. It was decided to establish a new town at the mouth of the Kilchen River, at the confluence with the Samara River. It was founded in 1776 and named Yekaterinoslav, probably in honor of Empress Catherine II. The name literally means “the glory of Catherine”.

However, because of the unfavorable location in the marshy area and, as a result, frequent floods, diseases among the population, Yekaterinoslav existed only for several years. In 1783, a decree was issued on the transfer of the town to a new place - to the high bank of the Dnieper River opposite the mouth of the Samara River (the current location of the city of Dnipro).

New Yekaterinoslav was officially founded during the visit of Catherine II, who laid the first stone in the construction of the Transfiguration Cathedral on May 9, 1787. This date is considered the date of foundation of Dnipro. By the end of the 18th century, there were 11 stone and 185 wooden houses in the town, and the population was about 6 thousand people.

Dnipro in the 19th - early 20th centuries

In the 19th century, the town’s population continued to grow. In 1853, it amounted to more than 13 thousand people. In 1862, there were 315 stone and 3,060 wooden houses in Yekaterinoslav. The abolition of serfdom had a huge impact on the development of the town. Starting from the 1860s, the population of Yekaterinoslav began to increase rapidly, mainly due to the peasants.

In 1884, a bridge was built across the Dnieper River and a railway station was opened in Yekaterinoslav. The Catherine’s Railway connected the coal mines of Donbass with the iron ore of Kryvbas, which gave a powerful impetus to the development of Yekaterinoslav and the region as a whole. The Yekaterinoslav locomotive depot became the largest in the south of the Russian Empire. The construction of metallurgical enterprises began in the western part of the town and on the left bank of the Dnieper.

In 1897, more than 121 thousand people lived here. The majority were Russians (42%), Jews (34%), and Ukrainians (19%). Yekaterinoslav became one of the largest industrial centers of the Russian Empire. In the same year, an electric tram was launched in the city - the third in the Russian Empire, after Kyiv and Nizhny Novgorod. A number of public, educational and cultural institutions appeared in Yekaterinoslav.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Yekaterinoslav continued to grow and develop rapidly. By 1910, the population of the city had doubled and amounted to 252.5 thousand people.

During the Russian Civil War, Yekaterinoslav was the scene of battles between different armies and factions. In 1918, after the proclamation of the Ukrainian People’s Republic, it was proposed to rename Yekaterinoslav to Sicheslav, which was supposed to remind of the Cossack history of this region (The Zaporozhian Sich). In total, from 1917 to 1919, the power in the city changed more than a dozen times. On January 1, 1920, Yekaterinoslav became part of the Ukrainian SSR.

Dnipro in Soviet Ukraine

In 1926, Yekaterinoslav was renamed Dnepropetrovsk in honor of Grigory Petrovsky (1878-1958), a prominent Bolshevik and a Ukrainian Soviet politician. During the first Soviet five-year plans, Dnepropetrovsk became the main base of the metallurgical industry in the south of the USSR. From 1926 to 1939, the city’s population nearly doubled to over half a million.

On August 25, 1941, during World War II, Dnepropetrovsk was occupied by German troops. On October 25, 1943, the city was liberated by the Red Army. After the war, the city was restored and again became one of the most important industrial and scientific centers of the USSR. Already in 1945, almost all the factories evacuated to the east resumed production.

The largest Soviet enterprise in the rocket and space industry was opened in this city - the Yuzhny Machine-Building Plant and the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau. In 1966, an automobile bridge across the Dnieper was built in the central part of Dnepropetrovsk, the longest bridge across this river at that time. Mass housing construction began in the 1960s. By the end of the 1970s, the population of Dnipro exceeded 1 million residents. It was decided to build a subway in the city.

Until 1987, Dnepropetrovsk was a city closed to foreigners because of its military-industrial complex enterprises. Due to the crisis that began in the late 1980s, the development of the city slowed down, and the population began to decline.

Dnipro in independent Ukraine

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the city’s industry began to decline, roads, housing and communal services, and urban transport were in a deplorable state. The construction of the subway almost stopped. In the early 2000s, Dnipropetrovsk began to get out of the crisis: new apartment buildings, shopping and entertainment centers were built.

In 2007-2011, Dnipropetrovsk was one of the four Ukrainian cities that were supposed to host the 2012 European Football Championship. However, due to a number of reasons, the right to host tournament matches was transferred to Kharkiv.

On October 4, 2012, the opening of the “Interpipe-Steel” plant took place - the largest investment project ($700 million) over the years of Ukraine’s independence and the first metallurgical plant built from scratch in Ukraine over the past 40 years.

On May 19, 2016, by a resolution of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the city was renamed from Dnipropetrovsk to Dnipro. The decision was made as part of the process of decommunization in Ukraine.

Dnipro - Features

Dnipro is located in the steppe zone in the eastern part of Ukraine, in the middle reaches of the Dnieper at the confluence of the Samara River. It is the fourth most populous city in Ukraine after Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa. In 1776-1796 and 1802-1926, it was called Yekaterinoslav, in 1796-1802 - Novorossiysk, and in 1926-2016 - Dnepropetrovsk.

This city has a humid continental climate. The coldest month is January with an average temperature of minus 3.6 degrees Celsius, the hottest month is July with an average temperature of plus 22.1 degrees Celsius. Due to the geographical position of the city in the valley, as well as significant motorization of the population, Dnipro suffers from atmospheric pollution, manifested in the form of smog. The smog season lasts approximately from May to October.

Dnipro is one of the largest industrial and economic centers of the country, the center of Ukrainian metallurgy. Ferrous metallurgy, metalworking and mechanical engineering, as well as rocket science are especially developed here. This city was one of the key centers of the defense and space industry of the USSR. Dnipro is unofficially the business capital of Ukraine. Many Ukrainian millionaires and billionaires live in this city or were born here.

It is an important railway junction. The Donbass-Western Ukraine, Kyiv-Crimea, Odesa-Mykolaiv-Kherson-Moscow routes pass through this city. Dnipro International Airport offers regular flights to Kyiv. Public transport is represented by trams, trolleybuses, buses, mini-buses, as well as the metro.

The City Day of Dnipro is celebrated on the second Saturday of September. On this day, festive events are held throughout the city: sports competitions, festivals, exhibitions, concerts, fairs, etc. Traditionally, the festivities end on the embankment with fireworks.

Three silver seven-pointed stars depicted in the upper part of the coat of arms of Dnipro symbolize the spray of metal, as metallurgy is the main industry of this city. Stars are also a symbol of space and reflect the rocket industry, which actively developed in Dnipro in the 20th century and made it the space capital of Ukraine. The stars are arranged in the form of the Latin “V”, which means “Victoris” - Victory. The combination of crossed silver saber and arrow has historical roots. This symbolism was common among the Cossacks.
