Trucks no longer need to be through the center
Trucks over 20 tons received a stop on the county bridge long before the reconstruction – three years ago. They redirected them to the center of Nitra. The reason was a bad condition.

The finishing work on the bridge will continue in May. The company will do « injection of leaks on the retaining wall and finalization of the remediation of the substructure, including the supports ». But this will not restrict traffic.
Without the need for total closure

According to Becík, the county has a report of 534 bridges: « Since 2023 we have repaired 57 bridges. » He expects to be more than ninety by the end of 2026.
The county deputies did not call
