The government has decided to rebuild with concrete 300 km of the M14 international highway, linking Ukraine’s five largest Black Sea ports: Odesa, Chornomorsk, Pivdennii (Yuzhne), Mykolaiv and Kherson. On summer days, overloaded grain trucks grind up asphalt softened in the heat. This is “the first investment project in Ukraine that provides for the creation of a first-category highway with a length of almost 300 kilometers of cement concrete,” Oleg Varivoda, head of the Odesa region road service, writes on Facebook of the Cabinet of Ministers’ plan for the rebuilt Odesa-Kherson highway.
