This summer, Ukraine is rebuilding roads for $350,000 a kilometer, one tenth the $3.5 million spent in Bulgaria, Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan tells Ukrainska Pravda news site. Highway construction is 20 times higher — $7 million – in Poland, he said. Omelyan attributed the lower cost to cheaper labor and materials. He did not talk about road quality. This year, Ukraine is repairing 4,000 kilometers of roads, double the amount of last year.
