The bridge across the Nistru River situate near Unguri and Bronnitsa localities on the Moldovan-Ukrainian border will be opened to international traffic for a trial period on November 28. Passenger and freight vehicles weighing at most 3.5 tonnes will be allowed to cross the bridge, IPN reports.

According to the Government’s press service, Prime Minister Pavel Filip and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Groysman agreed to open the bridge to motor vetches for a trial period during a meeting held in Kiev on November 24.

If the vehicles are allowed to cross the border through the Unguri customs post, the large flows at the Otaci customs post that is situated 8 km from the first will be dispersed. There is heavy traffic at the Otaci customs post also owing to the works to rehabilitate the Mogilev-Podolsk customs post in Ukraine.

The Border Police said the Unguri-Bronnitsa border crossing point is situated at the exit from Unguri village on the bank of the Nistru, about 11 km from the Otaci-Mogilev-Podolsk checkpoint. The Unguri-Bronnitsa border crossing point has been pedestrian until now and only Moldovans and Ukrainians could cross it.

The trial period hasn’t been specified.
