After the repair of the bridge over the Kofa Canal, an improvement in throughput is predicted.
This was reported by the Restoration Service in the Odesa region.
On the T-16-07 Izmail – Kiliya – Vylkove highway, the repair work of the bridge over the Kofa Canal, which began last year, is being completed.
“The bridge is important for the south of the Odesa region, connecting the Izmail and Kiliya ports, and is of great importance for four communities of the Izmail district,” the report says.
The top layer of asphalt concrete has already been arranged on the bridge structure and approaches, road signs have been installed, and road markings have been applied. Specialists have strengthened the curb, sown grass on the slopes, and painted the structure.
The Restoration Service noted that after the repair of the bridge and the access road, transport connections in the region will improve and the throughput of the road will increase. In particular, the movement of heavy vehicles carrying goods of economic importance will be accelerated.
We will recall that the old bridge was built in the 1960s. In 2021, due to its emergency condition, it was closed to all types of vehicles.
