The woman went to pick up the school from school. I had to cross the bridge, as it was the only possible way at home. Access to the bridge had been blocked with warning tape due to a storm alert, but local residents knocked him down. The bridge swing in the wind, and the woman with her son fell into the river.
The bridge was built in the summer of 2022 to replace a dangerous cross. The construction cost 25 million rubles, but the bridge began to crumble six months later. Another 3 million rubles were spent on repairs.
In 2024, the chief of the village, Yulia Fedorova, was judged by the abuse of power to approve an inappropriate bridge design.
