Odesa-Reni Highway: Restoring Bridge Approaches near the Mayaky-Udobne-Palanka Checkpoint

In the first two years of the war, the Odesa-Reni highway became a non-stop corridor for grain trucks. Ukraine’s agricultural exports shifted entirely to the Danube ports. While the road surface generally held up, the extreme load eventually took its toll.

This resulted in the settlement of the bridge approaches near the Mayaky-Udobne-Palanka border crossing. This deformation poses a serious risk to road safety and threatens the structural integrity of the bridge itself.

Our company, Automagistral-Pivden, received the task to restore the profile of the roadbed. The process involves:

Milling off the old pavement on the approaches.

Laying a layer of crushed stone-sand mixture.

Applying a layer of cement-treated crushed stone-sand mixture.

Finishing with two layers of asphalt concrete.
