In the village of Vana Delvina, the Support Command Officers repaired 21 meters of existing bridge and constructed an additional 12 meters, leading to 33 meters the length of this bridge, which bears a weight of about 15 tons.

The construction of this bridge was vital for about 1000 inhabitants of this area, enabling the connection to Delvina - Saranda national axis.

It serves residents of the villages of Likomil, Klishar, Selo, Krioner, Koshovicë, Llongo and Llovina and connects them with 5 Middle Schools, 2 High Schools and 9 Health Centers. Earlier this month, the Armed Forces built in time record the bridge in the village of Dareëzesë in Fier, which also collapsed as a result of the floods.
