In Kaliningrad they want to erect a monument to a giant catfish

Together with the High Bridge, a catfish monument may appear in Kaliningrad, which has been repeatedly encountered underwater by divers working on the reconstruction of the bridge over the Pregole.

Recall, in June 2016, the work of frogmen was hindered by a giant catfish, weighing about 220 kg. The big fish tried to chase away from the vicinity of its nest the frogman, who initially took the river dweller as a big pipe and sat on it.

Even the former governor of the Kaliningrad region, Nikolai Tsukanov, took an interest in the case and said he would dive with a crossbow to scare the animal away. Fortunately, specialists did not have to take up this offer.

The work, which began in June 2016, is being carried out by the company “АБЗ-Дорстрой”. The old German bridge has been demolished and a new, stylized one will appear in its place. The bridge should be put into service in June 2017.

[blockquote style=”2″]As the director of the company Alexei Korshunov stated, “We only dream of erecting a monument to catfish. There is such a thought, but for now at the stage of ideas. First we have to finish all the work. In three months we will be able to say more about it.”[/blockquote]
