In the Zhytomyr region, on the Kyiv-Chop highway, the bridge over the Dubovets River, which was destroyed in the early days of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, has been completely reopened, says the Infrastructure Restoration and Development Service on Facebook page.
The bridge over the Dubovets River near the village of Tsaryvka was damaged by air strikes in the first month of the full-scale invasion but was not completely closed to traffic.
"Reconstruction of the bridge began in March of this year. It was repaired in stages to avoid disrupting traffic on the international road," the Infrastructure Restoration and Development Service reported.
As part of the restoration, road workers partially replaced damaged beams of the bridge's superstructure, restored the road surface and lighting, and installed guardrails.
"The bridge not only improved the quality characteristics of the artificial structure but also used modern materials and applied new work techniques that will increase its durability and longevity. Repair work will continue; the contractor is now focused on completing traffic safety work and cleaning the riverbed," the department added.
As a result of Russia's full-scale invasion of the Zhytomyr region, five bridges were destroyed or damaged.
Earlier, we reported that rescuers, in collaboration with road workers, restored the movement of cargo and passenger vehicles across the Teresva River in the Zakarpattia region on the H-09 road.
