“The route of freight trains on the railway section Berezino (Ukraine) – Bessarabka (Moldova) will be opened this autumn, according to the memorandum of understanding between the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development of Moldova and the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine.”
Due to the implementation of this project, Ukraine will receive additional logistics opportunities for the export/import of products through Romanian ports.
“Due to the development of railway connections with Moldova, we will significantly increase the export and import potential of Ukraine, including to the Danube ports. The new and repaired railway track will create an additional logistics route for Ukraine’s trade. This is also beneficial for our Moldovan and Romanian colleagues, who have the opportunity to significantly increase their transit role,” said Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Alexander Kubrakov.
The Ministry of Infrastructure also adds that Moldova will build 1.2 km of tracks, and Ukraine – about 23 km.
Traffic on the Berezino-Basarabeasca railway section, which is 22 km long, was stopped in 1999.
