Overnight repairs on Komsomol Bridge approaches disrupt late-night traffic

Repairs are underway on the approaches to the 60th Anniversary of Komsomol Bridge as part of the national Infrastructure for Life project. Work is taking place overnight The current repairs rely on inert materials due to recent temperature swings. Cold asphalt is being used temporarily until hot asphalt becomes available. Asphalt plants are expected to restart soon, allowing for a more permanent fix.

Traffic restrictions are in place twice a week, from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM, while crews carry out construction and installation tasks. The project does not involve the bridge itself, focusing only on its connecting roadways. No details have been provided about broader repairs to the Komsomol Bridge or its wider road network.

The overnight work will continue until hot asphalt is ready for use. Drivers should plan for periodic closures during late-night hours. The project remains part of the ongoing Infrastructure for Life initiative to improve key transport routes.
