According to him, they started filling the pit with soil today. Prior to that, the pit was filled with a special cement mixture around the renovated section of the tunnel and three levels of its supports were almost dismantled. The mayor noted that landscaping work will soon be carried out at the construction site.
Restoration work continues around the clock, Klitschko emphasized.
"The day before, specialists completed construction of a new 27-meter-long section of the tunnel. They also reinforced the sections adjacent to it on both sides (with a total length of more than 50 meters). Work is now nearing completion on laying a new rail bed. All the necessary cable networks are being restored in the tunnel and a contact rail is being installed to supply voltage," said Klitschko.
