Ruins and ashes: the Russians left behind in Kharkiv Oblast completely destroyed cities
Ruins and ashes: the Russians left behind in Kharkiv Oblast completely destroyed cities, mutilated forests, mutilated roads, and blown-up bridges. The region has not yet been completely liberated. Fierce fighting continues closer to Luhansk region. But infrastructure is already being restored, our road and bridge builders are working tirelessly. They work, risking their lives, because the land of Kharkiv is literally littered with mines and unexploded shells. They work in extremely difficult conditions.
Since the beginning of the war, 24 artificial structures have been destroyed in Kharkiv Oblast. Work is ongoing on most of them. Temporary detours have already been arranged at many facilities. In particular, four crossings were built by our company. The enemy dreamed of rejecting Ukraine in the Middle Ages. But the skill and tenacity of Ukrainians is amazing! Instead of the destroyed bridges from the Soviet period, many of which were already “tired”, rebuilt, modern and much better quality buildings appeared DURING THE WAR.
One of our facilities in the Kharkiv region is a bridge over the Siverskyi Donets River (route M-03 Kyiv-Kharkiv-Dovzhanskyi, Chuguyiv city). Back in July, a crossing and a bypass road with a crushed stone surface were built nearby, and our company also took part in the works. In September, our specialists additionally installed culverts at the crossing, because there was a risk of flooding the dam – the structure created in the summer could not cope with the increase in water flow. Dismantling work began in October. The length of the bridge is more than 180 meters. The structure was built at the beginning of the 50s of the last century. Therefore, it was decided to dismantle not only the span structures, but also the supports.
Dismantling work is difficult and responsible. The height above the water level is more than 10 meters, there is a risk of destruction of structures that were damaged during the blasting. The construction of the new bridge is planned for 2023.
We have no doubt that the new building will be better, more reliable and more modern. And Ukraine will win and become much stronger!
