Residents of northern Karelia were cut off from the world: the collapse of the bridge paralyzed the bus service

Since November 8, transport links with the village of Borovaya in the north of Karelia were completely interrupted. The reason was the collapse of the bridge, which occurred under the weight of a loaded dump truck.

According to residents of the village, officials informed about the need for bypasses for access to Borovaya, but bus service was completely stopped.

Local residents expressed their outrage: they lost the only transport link connecting them to the outside world. Now they are forced to resort again to expensive private transportation, ask for help and spend time to get to medical facilities or the train station.

It is important to note that the incident with the bridge in the area of Borovoye occurred on November 8. The dump truck, which was under load, collapsed into the resulting failure. According to the Ministry of Transport, the driver of the vehicle was not injured. The department also specified that the bridge underwent a planned inspection of the technical condition in the summer and did not have an emergency status.

As it became known, the Investigative Committee of the Republic of Karelia initiated an inspection into the collapse of the bridge structure and the subsequent termination of transport communication with the village of Borovaya.
