Traffic is open on the 400-meter bridge over the river Seim near Baturyn!

This object plays an important role in the logistics of three regions at once - Chernihiv region, Kyiv region and Sumy region. The residents of Baturyn, Korop, Vysokyi, Bakhmach, Ponornytsia and Sosnytsia communities were especially waiting for its opening, as they had to travel dozens of kilometers through the neighbouring region to get home.

Major repairs of the blown-up building lasted almost a year. Autostrada bridge builders rebuilt the bridge practically from scratch. The spring flood, which flooded almost the entire construction site, made the work quite difficult, but did not stop the process.

What was done:

- dismantled structures destroyed by the explosion;

- 9 out of 13 supports were repaired (reinforcement of the support body, new crossbars and under-frames were arranged);

- 3 supports were rebuilt from scratch, one of which is right in the middle of the riverbed (for this, the bottom was cleaned of concrete debris, the sheet pile wall was hammered and the water was pumped out);

- new nozzles with cabinet walls and openings, new ground plates and transitional slabs were installed on the coastal supports;

- beams of the span structure were completely replaced;

- new approaches to the bridge are asphalted;

- modern lighting is installed;

- a system of drainage and sewage treatment facilities has been arranged;

- a guard rail and barrier bridge fence has been installed.

There are no restrictions on the weight of vehicles that can move across the bridge.
