Yesterday, July 6, 2022, the Road Administration and Maintenance of the Prešov Self-Governing Region (SÚC PSK) officially started the reconstruction work on the 50-year-old bridge building no. 3440-003, located at Solivarská st. which is one of the busiest in the city of Prešov in terms of traffic intensity.
In addition to the reconstruction of the approx. 55 m long bridge building itself, whose current structural and technical condition is classified as level 6 (very bad), the adjacent 160-meter section of road III/3440, ensuring the accessibility of residents to the Prešov – Záborské industrial park, will also be restored.
Financing of the construction, the total cost of which is approximately 3.1 million. €, is secured from the resources of the EU (Integrated Regional Operational Program), Slovakia and the Prešov self-governing region.
Due to the fact that this is a technically demanding reconstruction, the completion of construction work is tentatively scheduled for May 2023.
During the implementation of the construction works, traffic restrictions in the form of a partial road closure will apply in the given section. The traffic, which will be led alternately in one lane in both directions, will be regulated by portable traffic signs. Road users must also expect a reduced permitted speed of 30 km/h.
