Borodianka has finished restoring two more residential buildings damaged during the fighting in the early months of the full-scale invasion. These are a five-storey block on Parkova Street and a two-storey building on Tsentralna — 106 flats between them.

This was reported by the Ministry for Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine.

Roof, facade, balconies — and a step-free entrance

In the building on Parkova the roof and facade were rebuilt, windows and balcony units replaced, utility networks relaid, and entrance areas and grounds put in order. The building was also adapted for people with reduced mobility, so that the entrance can be reached without steps.

A solar power station was installed there as well. It will feed the lighting of stairwells, corridors and the grounds when the power goes out — precisely what turns entrance halls into dark wells during outages.

Pavements are still being laid on Tsentralna

In the two-storey building on Tsentralna, load-bearing structures, the facade and the roof were restored, along with utility networks, heating and gas supply. Flats and communal areas were repaired, windows replaced and balconies glazed.

Work around this building is not over yet: pavements are being laid, tactile paving for blind residents installed, benches and bicycle parking put in place. A photograph from the site clearly shows a finished facade and ground still dug up in front of the entrance.

The restoration of these two buildings is part of the settlement-wide reconstruction. According to the ministry, the overall readiness of the facilities being repaired in Borodianka is approaching four fifths. Roads, administrative buildings and engineering infrastructure are being rebuilt at the same time.

Earlier we reported that a section of a building in Makariv was demolished to its foundations and rebuilt from scratch.
