France hands over three crossings to Ukraine to restore transport links in Chernihiv region

KYIV. Dec 1 (Interfax-Ukraine) – French government’s Crisis and Support Centre CDCS donated three crossings to the State Road Agency of Ukraine (Ukravtodor).

As reported by the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine on Facebook on Thursday, the crossings arrived in Ukraine today.

"The bridges provided by France will be used to improve the mobility of the population in Chernihiv region. The priority is to equip them on road sections that critically affect the humanitarian situation in the region. We are working with our international partners to increase the number of such bridges for equipping in the de-occupied regions," the press service of the ministry quoted Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Oleksandr Kubrakov.

The European partners ordered the structures from the Matière company, which manufactured them to the parameters required by Ukraine. Three bridges with a length of 68 m, 34.2 m and 23 m will help to ensure stable traffic on the main state roads of Chernihiv region as soon as possible.

Since February 24, 27 bridges and overpasses have been destroyed in Chernihiv region. Road workers have already restored passage through 20 temporary crossings.
