One of the reasons for the destruction of the road in the Nizhyn district of Chernihiv region was the uncontrolled movement of large, heavy vehicles. This is stated in the response of the State Agency for the Restoration and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine to a request by UNN.

According to the Restoration Service (in Chernihiv region - ed.), the T-25-52 road mentioned in the appeal, due to prolonged operation, non-compliance with the overhaul schedule, uncontrolled movement of heavy vehicles and constant underfunding of the road sector over the years, has lost its transport and operational properties and needs appropriate repairs
The Agency clarified that priority emergency repairs are being carried out on the section between Berestovets and Komarivka due to operational maintenance.
As for the movement of large vehicles, the Agency assures that road signs with information on weight restrictions of up to 44 tons have been installed on the said section.
"Also, appropriate warning road signs have been installed to inform road users. On the road T-25-52, the movement of vehicles whose weight parameters do not exceed the requirements of clause 22.5 (b, c) of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine, approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 10.10.2001 No. 1306 (depending on the number of vehicle axles: 18 - 44 tons) is allowed," the rehabilitation agency said.
Recall
