Destroyed by terrorists Severdonetsk-Rubizhne bridge reconstructed

“It’s a pity, the government didn’t give a penny for the bridge repair”, the head of Luhansk Military-Civil Administration Hennadii Moskal says. “In Kyiv, there are only talks about the necessity of Donbas reconstruction, but no money is given. The only way out was to remember an old saying “many a little makes a mickle”. The reconstruction was made using funds of local budgets and factories, who decided to help.”

In total, 12 municipal bridges and 7 national bridges were damaged or destroyed as a consequence of operations on the Luhansk Oblast territory, controlled by Ukraine. 220,000,000 hryvnas are needed for the reconstruction. It is planned to ask international agencies for help, to allocate money from local budgets and, of course, there is a hope for a real, not only declared government participation in Donbas reconstruction.

In the nearest future, next bridge to reconstruct is the one between Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, across the Siverskyi Donets.

After the grand opening, the first symbolic transport went across the reconstructed bridge: a lorry with sand, a bus with pupils and a group of cyclists.
Social activists carried a huge 40 metres long national flag.
