As part of the ‘Small Carpathian Circle,’ a mountain driving circuit through Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Zakarpattia regions, Lviv region plans to rebuild 75 km of mountain roads this year, including upgrading 37 bridges over mountain rivers. Lviv is spending $7 million on this project, the same amount as last year. Oleh Bereza, head of Lviv Region’s Road Service, cites the tourism impact, saying: “Thanks to the Small Carpathian Circle project, we will not only connect the three regions of the Western region of Ukraine with good roads, it will also allow us to revive the central part of the Ukrainian Carpathians.” The total project will cost $100 million, estimates Ukravtodor, the national highway agency.
