After the de-occupation, work on the restoration of the damaged and destroyed road infrastructure in Kharkiv Oblast is intensifying

Currently, “Automagistral-Pivden” is replacing the surface on the 855-meter section of the Kharkiv bypass road. It was in this direction that the most active hostilities took place. The coating is badly damaged due to the movement of heavy military equipment. Life in the region is coming to life, traffic on the bypass is gradually increasing, which accelerates the destruction of the highway. In winter, the track may become impassable. Therefore, repair is a forced and critically necessary measure. We are currently carrying out cold milling of the destroyed top layer of the coating. After that, a new layer of fine-grained asphalt concrete 8 cm thick will be laid. At the same time, drainage trays will be cleaned. We will remind you that last year “Automagistral-Pivden” carried out the ongoing average repair of the Kharkiv bypass road. The bypass was included in the top five of our facilities for 2021. Work continued on two sections: km 472+040 – km 493+400 and km 493+900 – km 516+400 from the transport interchange near the city of Pisochyn in the direction of Donetsk region. The total length of the plots is more than 41 km. In 2022, it was planned to finish the work on the organization of road traffic and arrange drainage facilities. On the site where we are currently working, it was planned to carry out capital repairs, build additional lanes and equip the intersection with traffic light regulation. For reference: The Kharkiv Ring Road is 82.7 km long and is a strategically important transport corridor for the city. The highway is part of one of the country’s largest highways – the M-03 “Kyiv-Kharkiv-Dovzhanskyi” route.
