The municipality of Luxembourg City has announced that the new N3, which will connect Gare with Hesperange via Howald, will be known as the 'Boulevard de Kiev'.
Editor's note: RTL Today has reached out to the City and asked for a statement concerning the spelling.
There are different spelling forms for the capital's name, and is sometimes seen written as Kyiv or Kiev.
The Luxembourg City municipal council approved the new name last Friday. 'Boulevard de Kiev' is hoped to express support from Luxembourg's capital to that of Ukraine and its people, and further represent a "symbol of solidarity".
By 2023, the N3 is expected to act as a new entrance to Luxembourg City and help reorganise traffic in the direction of the south. The tram will also drive alongside a limited stretch of the Boulevard de Kiev.
