River locks: The European Investment Bank and the Infrastructure Ministry are preparing an agreement to rebuild the locks on the six dams of the Dnipro cascade. “This year is a preparatory year for us,” Minister Krikliy said, saying the government plans to create a dedicated fund to modernize river infrastructure. Rebuilding all the locks is expected to be a 5-year, $40 million job. The government calculates that for each 1 million tons of cargo moved by river, almost $10 million is saved in road repairs.
