Great Construction project: Six thousand kilometers of roads planned to be built this year

“The works on 150 sites, constituting 40% of total amount, have already started within the Great Construction project. The process is already under way. The Great Construction is being carried out. Fortunately, despite the budget amendments, the spending on road fund has not been cut. Moreover, a sovereign loan of UAH 19.3 billion was provided for the fulfilment of obligations of the State Automobile Roads Agency of Ukraine (Ukravtodor),” Infrastructure Minister of Ukraine Vladyslav Kryklii said in an interview with the Radio Liberty, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

According to him, this is a really landmark project as Ukraine will see the new quality of roads. In addition, it signifies the development of Ukraine’s economy, including the economy of the regions.

 “In total, we plan to build more than 6,000 kilometers of national and local roads this year. And it will be an absolute record of road construction in Ukraine,” the minister said.

He noted that none of the regions, including Donbas, would be overlooked.
