As of August 2024, almost all bridges destroyed during the full-scale war in the Mykolaiv region have been rebuilt. Currently, only one destroyed bridge in the region remains to be restored — it is located in the village of Voronivka, Voznesensk district.

This was announced by the deputy head of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration, Valentyn Haidarzhy, during a briefing on August 9, NikVesti reports.

According to him, the bridge was expected to be rebuilt at the expense of the Czech Republic, but this process was delayed and currently the regional authorities are looking for other ways of financing.

«Regarding the bridge in Voronivka. Before it flew to him, he was without an owner — there was no balance keeper. About two months ago, potential investors approached us and said that the Czech Republic would help us restore it. But currently the process has dragged on. We provided all the necessary information, the community took this bridge on balance, because without it it is impossible to repair it. The process continues, but slowly. Therefore, we are considering other possibilities of its restoration. To be honest, we counted on the Czechs and thought that when we finished the bridge in Voznesensk, they would also build this one. But it happened as it happened,» said Valentyn Haydarzhi.
