New plan
- A new footbridge will connect Liboš and Štěpánov in the Olomouc region after the existing crossing fell into disrepair and closed.
- The closure coincided with repairs to Liboš's main road, forcing children traveling to school in Štěpánov to walk through a construction site.
- A car struck a schoolchild on the dangerous route.
After years of waiting, residents of Liboš and Štěpánov in the Olomouc region are set to receive a new footbridge across the Oskava River.
The previous footbridge had deteriorated into a dangerous condition, prompting Štěpánov's leadership to close it. The closure created further difficulties when repairs began on Liboš's main road last September.
Children heading to school in Štěpánov then had to pass through the construction site. An accident occurred on the hazardous section, where a car struck a schoolchild.
