The bridge that connects the villages that are separated by the Seman River has been damaged. This bridge is used by the residents of these areas to transport goods and also their movement.

For a long time, its route has been amortized, but also the supporting legs or columns have been damaged, putting the lives of thousands of residents who cross this road at risk.

“It has helped us a lot, it will be good to reconstruct it, but there are no funds. All the villages pass here. 10-15 villages, that connects the part across the river with us here,” said a citizen.

During the year 97, this bridge was damaged, stealing the side protective barriers, but also other metal parts which were sold for scrap. Residents who move on this bridge feel threatened and seek intervention for its restoration.

The bridge in its lower part, in the years when it was built, also served for the passage of irrigation water through a pump system that no longer exists. Hundreds of hectares of land were irrigated through this system by area farmers.
