Driving to the port: how and when the roads in the Odesa region will be changed
The urgent need for high-quality roads that lead to the ports of Odesa region is not a whim of carriers and shippers. This is, in fact, a prerequisite for the development of the ports themselves, their investment attractiveness. At the same time, the only road to the Odesa port is toll. There is still no normal bridge across the Sukhoi Estuary on the road to the port of Chornomorsk, the Odesa-Mykolaiv route needs to be expanded to increase its throughput. And the lack of settling sites for heavy vehicles creates a problem with trucks, which in large numbers (especially in the summer season) accumulate on the sides of the main routes.
