Residents of Lermontovo considered a boat crossing instead of a bridge insufficient

The head of the Tuapse District reported on the opening of a boat crossing at the site of the collapsed bridge in Lermontovo. Commentators called for speeding up work on organizing an alternative road.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote, people who live in the part of the village of Lermontovo beyond the Shapsukho River faced difficulties after the bridge collapsed - it is almost impossible to get to the center of the village, buy food, medicine. The head of the Tuapse District reported that residents of Lermontovo, where the bridge collapsed during the flooding, can temporarily use the bypass road. The road is in a state of emergency and is extremely dangerous, commentators objected. Residents of the village pointed out the danger of the road in an appeal to the authorities. The head of the district promised to consider an alternative route. The issue of the passage of cars of residents of the trans-river part of Lermontovo, who were cut off from infrastructure due to the collapse of the bridge, through private lands has been resolved, the head of the district reported.

Rescuers are delivering residents of the trans-river part of Lermontovo to the other side of the river by boat. The temporary crossing has been operating since 07:00 a.m., the head of the Tuapse Municipal District Sergei Boyko reported on his Telegram channel. "Almost 300 people were ferried yesterday. All passengers are equipped with life jackets," he wrote on August 18.

The head of the district also reported that a resolution had been signed to establish a public easement for passage through Sechenovets and Kolos. "After the procedure for entering information into the unified state register of real estate, the easement will come into effect," he said.

By 12:50 Moscow time, this message in the district head's Telegram channel, which has 3,143 subscribers, had received three comments. "What are the deadlines? After the entry procedure?" asked Lyudmila Kondrashina.

"We are faced with all sorts of difficulties. We overcome one - they come up with three," user Ptahi commented.

The message about the establishment of a boat crossing in the Telegram channel "Krasnodar Teletype", which has 133,906 subscribers, has garnered 22 comments.

"So when will the bridge be built?" - Yulia asked.

"Is it possible to install a pontoon crossing there? Why should people suffer?" asked Lyuda.

"The bridge is a project, special equipment, etc., but the main thing is tens of billions of rubles," noted Valery Laguta.
