- As for the bridge, how well work on its restoration is organized now, won't it affect...
Or rather, won't it harm the arrival of, let's say, some products, goods, some human resources to Kherson?
- The bridge is not the only transport artery, which connects the left bank
with the right bank of Kherson region.
Of course, it will make it more difficult, for the goods to come,
the products to come and go from Kherson
- the way will be longer, because now you have to go temporarily through Kakhovskaya
Hydroelectric Power Station and through Kakhovskaya Dam.
It will all happen and these inconveniences exist.
But inconveniences created by you know who.
That is, those who aimed the missiles specifically at the bridge.
So, they did not so much hit the bridge itself, but it is also
a creation of engineering thought. The bridge is an individual project,
it was built over many years by many people:
designers, engineers, builders, hydraulic engineers.
Well, it's... it's probably impossible to call it more than barbarism.
It's not going to succeed in any of the possible
military counterattacks that somebody out there is talking about
It will... complicate... the work for peaceful life,
but it won't solve any military problem. So therepair work
on the bridge is already underway and the specialists
that are needed for that purpose are already there.The builder...
The design organization that designed this bridge for construction is
the Moscow Design Institute, which has an archive
that has all the design documentation for this structure, and they
are already developing the design documentation for repairs, quality repairs to the bridge.
And... Well, I'm sure that this problem will be solved in the near future,
but in the meantime, here, we will act like this... like this.
Although there are other possibilities for crossing the Dnieper, not only the bridge.
Military engineers are already working on it and getting ready.
- Thank you! - We have more questions.
Is it possible to close the bridge at all? - Well...
In our lives, anything is possible, but we have not set such a goal so far.
Right now, the bridge is open... and cars may cross it,
as well as passengers. Buses go over the bridge.
And... trucks, special technology vehicles, they go around.
Well, in general, once upon a time Kherson didn't have this bridge, and ...
anyway it lived, and anyway the communication with the left bank was,
there was a ferry crossing, Khersonians remember it.
This ferry crossing provided all the same needs
as the Kakhovka Dam, well, just longer, longer way.
- That's all, colleagues. Thank you!
