The preliminary cost of repairs in Donetsk region will be UAH 735.1 million and in Luhansk region – UAH 1.423 billion, the Ukravtodor (State Agency of Motor Roads) press service informs.
“This is the reference sum, as full survey is so far conducted only in areas, liberated from the terrorists. Meanwhile, damage was not yet established in places, where military operations are still conducted, because of the threat to lives of road builders,” Ukravtodor head Serhiy Pidhainy said.
According to him, currently, almost 962 kilometers of public roads experienced the devastation of varying difficulty, of which about 250.5 km – in Donetsk region and over 711.5 km – in Luhansk region and 20 bridges and overpasses of total length of 2,101 running meters.
