Two bridges in Bălți at risk of collapse

According to experts, the bridges have been damaged by natural disasters and heavy traffic. The Moldovan Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development plans to demolish the bridges and rebuild them from scratch. The project is expected to cost 60 million lei (about $3 million) and will be completed within a year.

Local residents are concerned about the impact that the demolition of the bridges will have on traffic in the city. The bridges are a major thoroughfare for vehicles travelling between Bălți and other parts of the country.

The city of Bălți is working with the government to identify a detour for traffic during the construction period.
