The Restoration of the Suspension Bridge on «Strelka» Has Begun
The restoration of the suspension bridge on «Strelka» has begun in Kharkiv. This was reported by the city council. The bridge, known as the «bridge of lovers,» is currently undergoing modernization, but there are no plans to completely close it.
Modernization Process Underway
According to information from the communal enterprise «Kharkivzelenbud,» work is currently being done to remove the old paint coating from the metal structures of the bridge and the parapet. Modern laser equipment is being used for this purpose, allowing the surfaces to be effectively cleaned without dismantling bridge elements. This technology significantly simplifies and speeds up the preparation for applying a new layer of paint.
A Symbol of Love and Romance
The bridge was officially opened on August 23, 2010, replacing the old wooden bridge that had served for over 30 years. From the first days, the new bridge became popular among lovers and newlyweds, who decorate the railings with locks as a symbol of their love. Despite the repairs, the bridge will continue to delight the residents of Kharkiv and city guests with its romantic atmosphere.
