The damaged buttresses of the bridge were restored with carved stones in the pointed part and were filled with same stones as the original, bound with lime mortar, in the parts were stones were missing. After opening the ditches around the buttresses and after water draining, a layer of 40-60 cm thick concrete was put as rings to protect the existing structure. Afterwards, the casting was done according to the shape presented in the detailed project and the structure was reinforced with a new layer of reinforced high quality concrete.

After cleaning the setting of the bridge from the biological colonization, were identified some serious damages of other buttresses of the bridge, in the direction to Gjakova.
