The State Agency for Restoration and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine confirmed that it is preparing design materials for a new access road to the Bukovel resort through the village of Polyanytsia, but the start of construction has been postponed until after the end of hostilities.
Work will begin after the war
The agency explained that during the war it is not appropriate to spend state funds on high‑cost road construction. The preparation of design and estimate documentation is seen as a stage prior to future construction, which will only be possible after the end of the war.
The agency also noted that design work takes time and will take at least about a year, and funding for the actual construction works is currently neither planned nor allocated.
Design work and tenders
In Ivano-Frankivsk region, the Service for Restoration and Development of Infrastructure on December 3 announced a tender to develop design documentation for the section from the village of Bystrytsia to the village of Yablunytsia via Polyanytsia, where Bukovel is located. It is expected that this will make it possible to organize a new entrance to the resort from the northwest side.
Other road contracts
In addition, on November 26 the Service signed an agreement with LLC "PBS" for the capital repair of the existing state road Ivano‑Frankivsk – Nadvirna. The contract covers a 23‑kilometre section up to Bystrytsia and is valued at UAH 2.1 billion.
