Ukraine is working with Japan on prefabricated backup crossings for Kyiv's bridges, so that spans could be replaced if Russian strikes damage them. Japan has so far delivered 720 meters of prefabricated bridge structures.

The support comes under the Emergency Recovery Program. The two countries recently signed its fifth phase, which allocates $15 million for Ukraine's infrastructure needs.

According to the publication's headline and link, the backup plans cover not only bridges but also water utilities and boiler plants. The available source text gives no further details, such as which bridges are involved, timelines or how the funds will be divided.
