The renovated bridge from near Palanca, which connects Moldova and Urine, is to be officially opened on June 1, IPN reports.

The Ukrainian press reported that the resistance of the bridge built in the 1960s was tested. Sixteen bulldozers weighing together 360 tonnes crossed it. According to the governor of Odessa region Maxim Stepanov, everyone will be able to use the renovated bridge as of June 1.

The circulation on the bridge near Palanca was stopped three years ago as this was seriously damaged.
