Great and important work was done by all those involved in this hard work. These are the first responders, police units, road department employees, contractor organizations and every operator working 24/7 on heavy machinery.
An alternative road has already been arranged in the nature zone, through which the works are done. Years It was carried out in the area of acidic waters. He was able to get back to the old river bed, after which search and rescue operations began in the area.
The same thing happened after the bridge was built, added locations directly near the epicentre of Nature, heavy machinery and live force on site. Of course, the work is carried out with great care and supervision of rescuers.
