A 150 km ring road around Kyiv and a 1.7 km suspension bridge over the Dnipro at Kremenchuk are to stem from Cabinet of Ministers’ recent approval of an infrastructure agreement with China. “With this agreement, we open the door for Chinese loans to infrastructure,” Viktor Dovhan, international advisor to Infrastructure Vladyslav Krikliy wrote on his Facebook page. The Kyiv Bypass highway will be U-shaped, providing connections to all main highways, from the M-1 to Chernihiv in the north, to the M-7 to Kovel in the west. Capable of handling 300,000 vehicles a day, this 8-lane, restricted access highway is to be completed by 2030.
