In Volyn region, major repairs have begun on two sections of the M-07 Kyiv-Kovel-Yagodyn highway to the Yagodyn-Dorohusk international checkpoint. The Restoration Agency reported this.

This is the first major repair project on the region's roads in the last three years.

Road workers are currently carrying out preparatory work: dismantling the old barrier, fence, and outdoor lighting lines on both sides of the road. Milling the damaged road surface.

In general, it is planned to completely renew the road surface of the second and third entrances to the car terminal on sections of almost 2 km in length, apply markings, install a sidewalk, barrier and railings, road signs, lighting lines, etc.

The works are planned to be completed by the end of the year. Their cost is almost UAH 143 million . The entrances to the "Yagodyn" checkpoint are being repaired by the Kovel-based company "Volyndorbud".

The M-07 highway is part of the TEN-T trans-European transport network. Therefore, the European Union, within the framework of the CEF (Connecting Europe Facility) program, will cover half of the cost of the works. The other 50% will be from the state budget.

• The Yagodyn-Dorohusk international border crossing is the largest automobile checkpoint on the border with Poland. Renovation of the entrances to it will allow reducing automobile queues, optimizing and modernizing traffic flows, and increasing traffic safety and throughput capacity.
