The day before National Unity Day across the country there were patriotic actions, open dialogues, concerts and important openings. Attention — in the social sphere. To relieve Novopolotsk and reduce travel time, the renovated bridge is meant. Its opening is a holiday for residents.

Repairs began last year and were completed ahead of schedule. The need was dictated by time — after a century of operation the bridge had become outdated. The renewed modern surface is 180 meters long. The embankment and surrounding area were landscaped.

Yuri Golubev, director of the company "Special Bridge Construction": "Reinforcement of the supports has been carried out, the roadway completely replaced with new waterproofing, new deformation joints with metal edging have been installed, as well as new parapet and barrier barriers."

First access rights go to transport of enterprises and organizations. A walking tour is for the festival guests. Right on the bridge — a creative performance and awarding of road workers, thanks to which the object was handed over ahead of schedule.
