OREANDA-NEWS. December 26, 2008. A railway-motor bridge proves an extremely important social and economic project at the moment Ukraine suffers from financial-economic crisis. This was stressed by Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine Ivan Vasiunyk in his address on the occasion of opening of technological traffic along the railway-motor bridge over the Dnipro river.

“This object has to mobilize us and instill confidence that our state will survive through these hard times with dignity,” Ivan Vasiunyk stressed.

At the same time, according to the Vice Premier, the new bridge appears of great significance in the context of gearing-up of Ukraine to the Euro-2012.

“Together with projects of building of the stadium in Kyiv and the airports it ought to show off that Ukraine is a responsible state and implements all commitments in preparing to the European Football Championship of 2012,” Ivan Vasiunyk underlined.

As Ivan Vasiunyk told, the state has already invested UAH 4.5 bn into construction of the railway-motor way over the Dnipro.
