Government disburses additional UAH 3 billion from the State Budget reserve fund for the repair of national highways

The Government has allocated an additional UAH 3 billion from the State Budget reserve fund for the repair of national highways.

The funds shall be allocated primarily to roads of international and national importance – key logistics routes, highways with heavy traffic, as well as roads that play an important role in the evacuation and provision of frontline regions.

Ongoing repairs of motorways are continuing. Currently, road crews are repairing an average of 40,000 m² of damaged pavement every day. More than 1,100 workers in 140 repair crews are working on roads of national importance, with the activities covering all regions of Ukraine.

The intensity of the work is gradually increasing in order to ensure safe passage along key routes within the shortest possible timeframe. The volume of repairs is expected to reach 100,000-150,000 m² per day.

The next stage is the transition to large-scale repairs using “maps”, ensuring more durable road surfaces.

The largest amount of work is being carried out on international roads such as

• M-05 Kyiv-Odesa – 10,521.4 m2;
• M-06 Kyiv-Chop – 6,802 m2;
• M-14 Odesa-Melitopol – 1,510 m2;
• M-19 Domanove–Kovel–Chernivtsi–Terebleche (towards Bucharest) – 1,007 m2;
• M-21 Vystupovychi–Zhytomyr–Mogyliv–Podilskyi – 4,833 m2;
• M-28 Odesa – Yuzhne – /M-14/ –3,700 m2.

Since the beginning of the year, almost 220,000 m² of road surface damage has been repaired.
