Dangerous iron bridge, which was not being used as intended in recent years, was found in Livoberezhnyi neighborhood in the course of the annual inventory. It was decided that it should be dismantled. The works will be performed on the 16th and 17th of September, therefore there will be some changes in the routing of public transport.
“The emergency-diving service has demolished potentially dangerous parts of the object. It was an urgent measure for providing safety for the automobilists and pedestrians on the roadway. The dismantling of the bridge will take place from 7 am on the 16th of September till 2 pm the 17th of September. Otherwise, the bridge will actually represent a threat to the citizens due to further corrosive changes. The road traffic will be stopped there for the performance period”, - Petro Cheker, the Deputy Director of the Department of Housing and Communal Infrastructure, said.
Serhiy Korobskih, the Deputy Head of the Livoberezhnyi State Administration, said that the bridge was owned by Azovstal Iron & Steel Works and the costs of its dismantling were also carried by the plant. The employees of Azovstal will be driven to the workshops through the territory of the plant for the time of the performance period. The delivery of employees of Mariupol Trams and Trolleybuses and Komunalnyk public utility services was also organized. Traffic will be opened only for special transport, which carries out repair works.
The routes of municipal public and general public vehicles will change due to the dismantling process. “The trolleybus No. 15 will move from Zahidnyi mcr. dstr. only to the Azovstal’s central clockhouses and go back. Trams No. 5 and 6 will circulate round the Livoberezhnyi ring. The bus No. 15a will drive from Zahidnyi mcr. dstr. through Metalurhiv Avenue, Nikipolskyi Avenue, Yednosti Avenue, Holubenko Street, Leporskyi Street and then in accordance with the route. We will also increase the number of buses for the transportation of residents of Livoberezhnyi neighborhood to the downtown”, - Vitaliy Donev, the Head of the Mariupol Trams and Trolleybuses Administration, said.
Vasyl Klat, the Director of the Department of Transport and Communications, told about the movement of the route taxis during the performance period: “The route taxis No. 24t, 124, 153, 112, 157 and 201 will drive through Metalurhiv Avenue and also through parallel streets, through Kuindzhi Street to Nikipolskyi Avenue, through Yednosti Avenue drive to Huhelya Street and then to Peremogy Avenue.
