Heavy Rain Washes Away Moldavankovka Bridge, Floods School in Olginka

Heavy rain in Moldavankovka village has caused significant disruption. A temporary bridge over the Shaapsukho River was washed away, and classes at School No. 19 in Olginka village were cancelled due to flooding in the school's courtyard.

The bridge, which had been installed after a previous one was destroyed in August, was damaged on the night of Tuesday, October 14. Rescuers quickly responded by organising a rope aerial crossing to help residents. Although the building of School No. 19 was not flooded, the courtyard was, leading to the cancellation of classes on that day. As of December 2023, there is no publicly available, reliable information on who organised the rebuilding of the temporary bridge.

The bridge's destruction and the school's flooding highlight the impact of heavy rain on infrastructure and daily life in the region. Despite the lack of information on the bridge's rebuilding, local authorities, volunteers, or higher-level governments may have been involved in the response efforts.
