Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko oversees repairs on metro tunnel
Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko recently shared a video on his social media page highlighting the repair work being done on a tunnel of the «blue» metro line between the «Demiyivska» and «Lybidska» stations.
According to Mayor Klitschko, the emergency situation was caused by a construction technology violation during the initial building of the section 15 years ago.
Currently, builders have completed excavation of the pit along with reinforcement of multiple floors and chemical reinforcement of the soil. The sealing of cracks and connections in the tunnel lining is also underway.
«We have also conducted a thorough inspection of the tunnel lining between the ‘Demiyivska’ and ‘Lybidska’ stations. A detailed report on its condition will be released after all necessary expertise is completed,» said Vitaliy Klitschko.
The full restoration of train traffic on this section is expected at the start of autumn, with test train runs to be conducted by specialists before full resumption of service.
