The government spokesman described the outcome of the projects on the Kalavasos Bridge, after the problem with the inability of fire trucks to continue passing under the bridge.
Speaking on state television, Konstantinos Letibiotis said that, "apparently the central state also has a role to play. I am sure that through our own actions there will be a solution between the relevant services. At the same time, I think it is possible to recognize that the steps that have been made in recent years are enough and not because of individual incidents or unfortunate incidents in the execution of some projects, to expand as an interpretation. "
Earlier, Mayor Kalavasou, Eleftherios Sozou, said, "It is not a problem that emerged from the repair of the bridge. When the works began, a detour was created inside the riverbed, where the big problem solved. The security problem from access to fire trucks to the archaeological site of the tent. The fire station is on the old road, just opposite. An intervention by a large fire truck for any extraordinary passerby needs to go the firefighter from Kalavasos junction to Zygi almost descended to the village of Kalavasos, virtually a round of 6.5 kilometers and lose 10-15 minutes. "
As he said, "for this reason, when we saw these projects being done last year, we asked to remain the height of access as it is in the bypass. We sent a letter to the Department of Public Works and the answer was not positive. We were suggested to remain access through the riverbed but to remove the paved road. An event that does not serve, because if the river descends it will bring stones, access will be destroyed and if the fire brigade wants to pass, it will not be served. We tried to promote this problem in a variety of ways. "
At the same time, Mr. Savings indicated that, "we had contacts with the water development department on this subject but they were negative at remaining anything inside the riverbed. Then we had a meeting again with the District Director of Ta, from whom we requested, at least if they did not consent to stay permanently bypassing the riverbed to stay temporarily until studies and projects were completed, so that the altitude of the road could be lowered to lower the road. The issue was examined at the last meeting of the House Commerce Committee and there was a recommendation to have a meeting of all the services involved in order to make a decision soon. "
As he said, "What is possible is to lower the altitude of access under the bridge, to dig the bed. Our complaint as an area is that while we have so many problems, the need to upgrade our security is well documented and we are raising an issue that upgrades security. We believed that the state would rush to satisfy it immediately, because it is a given that it should be done. Instead we see a stubbornness and see a reaction to us "but you are excessive", what are we exaggerated? "
He also said, "The old access was 3.70 meters, with the upgrade the height lowers 3.50. The Fire Brigade asks 4.50 so that all vehicles can pass comfortably. There are smaller vehicles that can pass. If we have a fire in the area and have restrictions on access to fire trucks. To have the opportunity to improve it and not want to do it. "
