Zagreb Post Boxes Moved Outside Building Undergoing Earthquake Repair

In a unique solution to a logistical challenge, mailboxes in central Zagreb have been temporarily affixed to the outside of a building undergoing structural repairs after an earthquake. The mailboxes, usually located inside the building's common area at Šenoina 12, now hang on the facade, ensuring residents continue to receive their mail during the ongoing renovation.

The building is currently undergoing structural reconstruction, a process that has led to the temporary relocation of the mailboxes. According to data from the Ministry of Physical Planning, Construction, and State Property, some residents received financial assistance for temporary housing last year due to the renovation.

Zagreb's post-earthquake reconstruction efforts have seen substantial investment, with nearly 3 billion euros allocated to the city. Over 700 construction sites are active across Zagreb, and repairs have been completed at approximately two-thirds of the locations, totaling 4,500 sites. Minister Branko Bačić has stated that all replacement family homes are expected to be finished by the end of next year, with public buildings in Zagreb and Petrinja slated for completion by the end of this year.

Regarding new replacement family homes in Zagreb, 13 are awaiting completion, 40 are under construction, and 13 are in the procurement process, according to Bačić. This relocation of mailboxes highlights the practical adaptations being made across the city as it rebuilds and recovers from the earthquake's impact.
