Foreign and national construction companies will be able to participate in up to $2 billion worth of contracts to rebuild 1,500 km of highways in Ukraine through 2023, government officials announced yesterday at a webinar on Public-Private Partnerships in the Road Sector. Tenders are to be drawn up next year for six sections of ‘M’ or international highways, said Infrastructure Minister Vladyslav Krykliy. The six sections are the first phase of a $9 billion, 4,500 km project that is to stretch through the decade.
