In the Chernihiv region, road workers opened traffic on the restored bridge over the Desna River, which was destroyed at the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. This made it possible to return direct communication between Kyiv and Chernihiv, the Ministry for the Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure announced on Facebook..

As noted, the way from the capital to the regional center of Chernihiv region will now take two hours.. Previously, drivers had to spend twice as much time to take the bypass road..

All types of transport can move on the mentioned bridge in both directions, but only on the first passage. Specialists continue to rebuild the second passage.

" Since the de-occupation of the region in the spring of last year, we have already equipped 20 temporary crossings, we are overhauling more than 10 bridges. We are also working on the restoration of critical infrastructure in the region.

We are striving to create all the infrastructure conditions for the return of Ukrainians home,"

The press service clarified that the restoration of the bridge continued from the second half of last year.. Work began after the clearance of the relevant lands and part of the Desna. The project is implemented by the State Agency for the Rehabilitation and Development of Infrastructure.

Earlier it was reported that an outpatient clinic was built in Makarov in the Kyiv region, which was destroyed by Russian invaders a year ago..
