[02] Alt. Infrastructure Minister: Restoration of historic Plaka bridge
technically feasible
ANA/MPA---The restoration of the historic bridge in Plaka is technically
feasible, Alternate Infrastructure Minister Christos Spirtzis on Monday
told MEGA TV.
Spirtzis, who has been in Arta, noted that a team of mechanics has already
been dispatched to the area in order to conduct a preliminary inspection.
The historic Bridge of Plaka, in Tzoumerka, northwestern Greece, on
Sunday collapsed as a result of the torrential rain in the area.
The bridge which was constructed in the 18th century is the largest
single-arch bridge in the Balkans.
