Evia Island Ports Authority (OLNE S.A.) kindly informs users (pedestrians, drivers, sailors) that from 01.10.2014 till December 2014 the Old Bridge of Chalkis will stop its operation due to maintenance.
For the convenience of the pedestrians a footbridge will be installed. Cyclists can also use the same footbridge as pedestrians with the engine turned off.
The footbridge is a construction that cannot open to be used by vessels. The safety air draft bellow the bridge varies depending on the tide, and those users with small boats wishing to cross under must contact the Port Police before. OLNE does not recommend the sea crossing for safety reasons due to the works to be performed.
OLNE has already informed authorities for the shutdown of the bridge.
On Monday 01/09/2014 an inspection will take place by a mixed group supervised by YPOMEDI and OLNE's technical division, as ordered by the Minister of commercial shipping policies, in Chalkida's coastline, starting from the commercial port of Halkida to Ag. Nicholas square inculding the two pedestals existing too.
The mission will be completed, with the preparation of a full inspection report by olne's employees and the presentation to the ministry's authorities.
The aim of the inspection and the consequent report is to inform the interested parties and commit the public authorities to start the procedure for the issue of tender documents for the project.
Olne's first priority is the safety of the citizens within the premises of responsibility, and it strives towards that direction in every effort.
