Previously, this road section was considered by drivers to be a "black spot" for its deterioration. A series of potholes appeared, affecting traffic and posing a potential risk of accidents.

To remedy the situation, BVEC decided to carry out emergency repairs. Construction units have removed the old asphalt layer and laid new hot asphalt concrete to ensure the quality and durability of the road.
