Sokolov named those responsible for the breakdown of the bridge across the Moloma

      Today, on April 24, a slab on the bridge over the Moloma River on the Vyatka federal highway sagged. The incident occurred in the afternoon, and at about 16:00, the press service of the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Kirov region reported that the passage on this section was completely closed.

      The Governor of the Kirov region, Alexander Sokolov, commented on the situation. So, according to him, the bridge cracked after a convoy of heavy trucks passed over it. Drivers who ignored the restrictions on the passage of heavy trucks have already been detained.

      Sokolov also added that the road and the bridge are federally owned. "I called the management of the Uprdor "Prikamye" with a request to immediately get involved in resolving the situation. The deputy head of the Uprdor "Prikamye" and the head of the bridge-building organization have already left for the site from Perm. The head of the district and traffic police officers arrived at the scene," the governor wrote on his TG channel.

      The scope of the restoration work will become clear tomorrow. The contractor is ready to start work immediately, and there are funds and competencies for this, Sokolov assures.

      "At 17:00, I am convening a meeting of the regional commission for emergency response and prevention. I ask drivers to plan trips in advance and follow the detour through Sovetsk," concluded the head of the region. Read more about the incident here.
