The former 19th-century post office in the Horadok district will be transformed into a roadside cafe and motel

December 11, Vitebsk / Sergey Kochetov - BELTA /. Tourists and drivers of transit transport will have the opportunity to have lunch in the station house, relax in the coachmen's wing, and park their cars in the carriage house at the former 19th-century post station in Gorodok district. RUP "Vitebskavtodor" plans to commission the roadside service facility in 2010 after the completion of the reconstruction of the architectural monument, the enterprise informed a BELTA correspondent. The project worth over Br1 billion provides for the reconstruction of two buildings of the former post station (station house and coachmen's wing), located in the village of Kuzmino on the 25th kilometer of the highway Russia Border (Yezeryshche) - Vitebsk - Gomel - Ukraine Border. Both buildings are architectural monuments of the first half of the 19th century, built around 1846. The station house is planned to be converted into a cafe with a 16-seat banquet hall and a mini-bar. The former coachmen's wing will be transformed into a motel with six places, offering single and double rooms. In addition, the project provides for the organization of a guest parking lot for six cars and a guarded parking lot for 10 trucks. During the work, the adjacent territory will be landscaped, and lighting and illumination will be organized using modern materials. In 2009, "Vitebskavtodor" allocated over Br800 million for the implementation of the project.
