Vladimir Saldo, Acting Governor of the Kherson region, announced that the repair and resumption of traffic on the Chongarsky bridge connecting the region with Crimea is being postponed.
According to Saldo, the damage to the structure was much more severe than originally thought.
«Unfortunately, the damage to the bridge is much more severe than we originally thought,» said Saldo.
Recall that immediately after the missiles hit the bridge, Saldo stated that, as a civil engineer, he estimated the duration of the repair work at several days. He now said the structural survey and restoration work would take 15 to 20 days, «maybe more.»
The bridge remains unusable for vehicular traffic, Saldo added.
