Ukraine’s advantageous geographical position makes it a main hub for transit of goods and passengers between Europe, Asia and Middle East; a number of international transport corridors, reaching a total length of over 5 thousand km, pass through Ukraine.
Today the country’s transportation infrastructure includes approximately 169.5 thousand km of highways. It is expected that the amount of traffic and the quality of rendered services will increase during the next three years and large-scale infrastructure projects, including reconstruction of a number of roads, are planned to be implemented. The main direction of the industry’s development, provided by the development concept approved by the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine, is to raise of standards and increase integration of the transport system of Ukraine into European infrastructure.
Ukraine’s highways network is quite extensive, it covers all the territory of the country; however, the quality of the road surface and automotive infrastructure is in need of improvement. The government has invested in development of main roads, linking country’s major economic centers; however, the level of investment in the regional road network is rather low, which does not allow adequate financing for maintenance of the road network.
The international transport corridors that pass through Ukraine include:
The existence of these well-defined routes provide obvious advantages for the transit or delivery of humanitarian cargoes, through well-established main border crossing points. Provided that all the procedures of the customs and importation requirements are respected, usage of these internationally established corridors can be recommended for consideration of UN when surface transport delivery is envisaged.
