📋 Tender Overview
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko solemnly opened a bridge over the Sozh River in the Slavgorod district of the Mogilev region. The ceremony was attended by representatives of labor collectives of road-building organizations involved in the construction of the bridge and residents of the Slavgorod district.The head of state emphasized the particular importance of the bridge primarily for those who live in the Krasnopolsky and Slavgorod districts of the Mogilev region. After all they waited for this construction for several decades since the idea of building a bridge appeared in Soviet times but its implementation was postponed due to the Chernobyl accident.We have now brought it to life. Residents of the left bank can easily move to the right bank without going through 120-130 km the President noted. We have improved logistics by building this bridge and made you a good present.The head of state shared his personal memories of working in the region at the time when he held the post of deputy director of the building materials factory in Shklov. He said that he was often in Slavgorod he knows the region well appreciates the work of local residents who faced great difficulties after the Chernobyl accident but were able to overcome them.The President expressed his gratitude to those who took part in the construction of the bridge especially noting their master approach to business the dismantled farms of the bridge across the Sozh in Krichev were used to build a new bridge in Slavgorod. Perhaps the work could be completed faster but it depended on funding. On the example of the construction of a bridge across the Sozh the head of state explained the course of further reforms in Belarus. Reforms - this is it. How few or many there will be how fast they will depend on money. Therefore you dont believe someone who says money will be scattered from a helicopter and build a thousand bridges almost every year. there will never be Alexander Lukashenko emphasized.The Sozh River divides the Slavgorod district into two parts. Before the bridge was built crossing the left bank of the river was difficult for both local residents and agricultural workers who have significant areas of hayfields and pastures across the river.From mid-May to November it was carried out on a temporary pontoon bridge that connected the P140 Slavgorod-Krasnopolie highway. Residents of the left bank had to get to Slavgorod through Krasnopolie and Cherikov making a journey of 120 km.The issue of bridge construction arose in 1984 then a bridge crossing plan was developed. However due to the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant design work was curtailed. They returned to the idea of construction in 2007 during the reconstruction of the bridge over the Sozh in Krichev. The existing trusses of several spans were dismantled and set up for storage next to the bridge for later use in the construction of the bridge in the Slavgorod district.In 2017 farms were transported by water along the Sozh River from Krichev to a construction site in Slavgorod. For this for the first time in the country unique transportation and installation technologies were used - using a floating system which included two barge platforms interconnected. The development of moving technologies and the installation of the floating system were carried out by the Mostootryad 425 branch of Mostostroy OJSC.The capital bridge over Sozh will not only reduce movement for residents of the left bank but also significantly increase the opportunities for the development of the southeastern region by improving logistics. In addition it will be possible to enter the border regions of Russia.
