The bridge, reportedly situated at 51.5327, 29.86593, lies within the Exclusion Zone around the reactor which extends across the Ukraine-Belarus border. Today much of that zone can be visited relatively safely for a few days at a time. The reactor itself is encased in a sarcophagus called the New Safe Confinement designed to limit release of radioactive contaminants.
