“Protective fences are already being installed on the Nemunas embankment,” Laurynas, a portal reader, said Thursday afternoon. Upon reaching the specified location, under the railway bridge, it was clear that the first barriers were being installed on the quay, although the works were only in the initial phase and not progressing very fast.
Partitions will be waiting until fall.
After realizing the work started, “What is happening in Kaunas” contacted the representatives of the municipality of Kaunas: the director of the administration, Vilius Šiliauskas, reported in the comment sent to the portal that the works actually started and will be completed during the rest of the summer.
“The new partitions will be of the same design as the bridge leading to the Žalgiris Arena. Its installation is scheduled for September 1. The works were commissioned by the company” Kauno švara “. The value of the materials and works is approximately 300 thousand, “he commented.”
According to V. Šiliauskas, the partitions will not only have to protect pedestrians and cyclists, but at the same time they will perform an aesthetic function to be attractive to the eye and decorate the picturesque embankment.
The director of the municipal administration noted that the section of the Nemunas embankment, where the protective barriers will be installed, will reach more than 3 kilometers, therefore, its production and delivery took time, at the same time, the beginning of the installation work .
There have been many painful incidents.
The portal “What’s Happening in Kaunas” recalls that previously unpleasant situations on the embankment without handrails were unavoidable, when more than one resident fell in Nemunas and did not have a chance to get off: the fire and rescue service had to handle the disasters.
On March 24 of this year, a Kaunas resident could not be helped: the man who fell into the water did not survive. After the disaster, the discussion in the municipality ended and it was decided to return the protective fortifications on the pier.
“The tragic disaster that has taken place today has rocked us, so it is no longer possible to think any further. Decisions will be made immediately, regardless of any external evaluation, to ensure people’s safety first. The barriers in this place are inevitable and will be installed as soon as possible, “said Tomas Jarusevičius after the tragedy that took place after the fight.
However, at that time, the decisions were not implemented urgently and another disaster occurred on May 26, but ended happily, the fallen fisherman was rescued by firefighters.
