The Kyiv Bridge in Chernihiv was destroyed in March 2022, and now the company "Autostrad" has completed its reconstruction work and opened the movement of this important infrastructure object. Today, on July 5, at 8 am the bridge built across the river Desna, which Chernihiv is called Kiev, went the first transport. The founder of the company "Autostrad" Maxim Shkil told about it on the page on the Facebook network. "In March 2022, the Russians completely destroyed 2 metal 80 meter spans.

Not only 400 ton of the old bridge, but also the remains of other bridges, which were built on this place since the 19th century, were laid on 11-meter depths. supports and built a temporary bridge, first of all, it was necessary to completely clear the bottom. ", - writes Maxim Shkil. He said that during the work on the object of pyrotechnics, the flooded beams were blown up, after them divers dropped to the bottom, which cut pieces of structure.

Mountain engineers designed a special traction device that pulled the pieces ashore, because the hardest could be lifted from the water by no crane. "Divers were underwater sharp in extreme conditions: high depth, cold water, high flow velocity, visibility underwater - no more than 30 cm. Water constantly carried sand and tree roots. , at a depth of 11 meters to blur the beams, attracted dredges. We survived 2 floods. Water flooded all the surrounding area.

We had to work during the largest winter flood on the gums in the last 129 years. Three times the river carried out the fragments of ice only to work with fuel facilities. But not for a day she has not stopped work, "says Maxim Shkil.

According to him, in parallel with the work on the restoration of the Kiev bridge Autostrada builds a new modern 628-meter bridge on 4 lanes-a capital structure on the main Kiev highway, which will finally unload an unfinished bridge across Desna in Shestovitsa and P-69 Kiev-Vyshgorod-Vyshgorod.
