Previously, it was available only for cars, but now also for trucks. It became the 22nd fully restored bridge.

«This bridge will greatly simplify logistics for our business. This is a good example of the joint work of RMA, donors, the military and the big business of the region, which also joined in the recovery. I have said more than once that we are really ready to help in every possible way those who work for the economy of Mykolaiv Oblast, and we are doing it,» said the head of RMA Vitalii Kim.

In addition, the 30-meter-long Inhulets main canal in Snihurivka region was officially put into operation. It was restored in less than three months by servicemen of the 36th Konotop road rehabilitation brigade of the State Railways of Ukraine.

Prior to that, in February, work on the construction of a bridge across the Ingulets River between the settlements of Snihurivka and Horokhivka communities was also completed.

«For this, pontoons from the former crossings of the Snihurivka region, which were blown up by the occupiers in 2022, were used. This is the bonus bridge that used to be pedestrian-only, but now it has become accessible for transport as well,» Vitalii Kim said.

In January, a rebuilt bridge across the Inhulets River was opened in the Horokhivka community of the Mykolaiv region.

We will remind, in December Vitalii Kim said that 19 bridges out of 20 that were damaged due to Russian shelling were restored in the Mykolaiv region.

Previously, an 84-meter-long bridge crossing over the Inhulets River was rebuilt in the Horokhivka community of the Mykolaiv region in five months. Vitalii Kim said that it was the penultimate bridge that needed to be restored.
