Work on these structures began in the fall of 2021. At that time, temporary detours were built and old structures were dismantled. In January and February 2022, pile driving and testing took place. During the full-scale invasion, this part of the Chernihiv region was occupied for a month. The bridges remained unfinished.
In 2025, major repairs resumed. Supports and monolithic span structures were constructed, and the slopes were reinforced with gabions. Next, waterproofing work was carried out on the bridge structures. New asphalt concrete pavement was laid on the bridges and their approaches.
The installation of expansion joints has now been completed. Next, road signage and markings will be installed.
Completing work on these structures is important to ensure stable road connections between Chernihiv and Slavutych. Temporary detours cannot be used long-term as they pose a risk of accidents. For example, in the summer of 2024, an emergency occurred on one of the temporary detours when a powerful water flow caused by an abnormal downpour eroded and partially destroyed the temporary structure. Traffic was blocked for a day while emergency repairs were carried out.
