Large-scale efforts to restore critically important infrastructure damaged by russia’s full-scale invasion are ongoing. One of the key priorities is the reconstruction of bridges and overpasses that ensure transportation connectivity and military logistics — with a special focus on frontline regions.
To maintain stable connections, temporary crossings were set up near each damaged bridge. Later, where the security situation allowed and there was an urgent need to support both military and civilian transportation, full-scale reconstruction work began.
Two more strategically important bridges have now been reconstructed on roads that form part of key logistical routes.
The first bridge, originally built in 1973, sustained significant damage during active combat. It has now been fully rebuilt to meet the highest standards of reliability and safety. The new structure is 48.5 meters long and 9.5 meters wide, with piers reaching 6.5 meters in height. It is designed to withstand heavy traffic loads and is built for long-term use.
The second bridge, constructed in 1992, was almost completely destroyed. Its reconstruction required starting nearly from scratch. Today, it stands as a modern structure 37 meters in length and 14 meters in width, with piers up to 4 meters high. The bridge is equipped with reinforced piles, supports, beams, a monolithic slab, safety railings and a lighting system.
Both reconstructed bridges are of strategic importance not only to their immediate regions but to the entire country. They will significantly speed up the delivery of humanitarian aid, ensure stable military logistics, and meet the essential needs of the population.
