Kyiv • UNN
Since the beginning of the year, 9 million m² of pavement have been restored on state highways. By June, they plan to repair more than 10 million m² of roads in key regions.
Road repairs continue on highways of national importance throughout Ukraine, with the highest percentage of planned work completed in the Kyiv and Khmelnytskyi regions, Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration – Minister for Communities and Territories Development Oleksiy Kuleba reported on social media on Saturday, UNN writes.
Nearly 9 million m² of road surface has already been restored on highways of national importance since the beginning of the year
He indicated that road works are ongoing across the country. Every day, more than 200 crews and about 2,000 workers are active on the routes. By June 1, they plan to reach over 10 million m² of repaired surface.
"The main focus is on key logistical routes, international highways, and roads in frontline regions," he stated. Specifically, as Kuleba reported, active work is being carried out on the following highways:
- M-03 Kyiv – Kharkiv – Dovzhanskyi;
- M-05 Kyiv – Odesa;
- M-06 Kyiv – Chop;
- M-07 Kyiv – Kovel – Yahodyn;
- M-29 Kharkiv – Krasnohrad – Pereshchepyne – Dnipro;
- M-30 Stryi – Uman – Dnipro – Izvaryne.
The highest pace of work completion is currently in the Kyiv (70%) and Khmelnytskyi (67%) regions. At the same time, Kyiv region (940,000 m²) and Kirovohrad region (912,000 m²) lead in terms of total volume of work performed
In most regions, as the Deputy Prime Minister reported, the "patching by sections" (karty) repair method is being used. This, he noted, allows for the prompt elimination of significant surface damage and quickly improves passage.
