"At first, the bridge over the Irpin River was restored according to a temporary scheme within a month. This made it possible to start trains to Irpen, Buchi, Borodyanka and other settlements already at the beginning of May last year. After that, work on capital restoration of the bridge began. From now on, we can return the proper amount of traffic to the direction," said Roman Chernitskyi, a member of the board of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia".

Work on the restoration of the railway bridge was started in July 2022. Already at the end of March 2023, all works on the restoration of the bridge were completed and traffic on the steam track was opened.
