It began to be built in 2021, as the emergency crossing collapsed due to wear and tear of the structures. The old bridge was built in 1960, no major repairs were carried out.
We will remind: in May 2021, the Lviv-Lutsk highway was not passable – a bridge collapsed near the village of Hayok, Lviv district. Video
The construction of the new bridge was supposed to be completed in 2022, but due to the full-scale war, the work was suspended. This year, the Infrastructure Reconstruction and Development Agency continued work at the facility.
The structures of the old bridge were dismantled, a reinforced concrete monolithic overlay slab and transitional slabs, waterproofing, drainage were installed, and two layers of asphalt concrete were laid. Barrier fencing, lighting, signs and road markings will soon be installed here.
“Now this section on the highway Lviv – Radehiv – Lutsk is available for cars and public transport. After the installation of the upper layer of asphalt concrete covering, the bridge will also be able to pass freight vehicles,” said the head of the Lviv OVA, Maksym Kozytskyi.
