The government has prepared a bill that should regulate the introduction of toll roads. This was announced by Deputy Minister of Community and Territorial Development Serhiy Derkach during an event organized by the European Business Association (EBA), UNN reports.
According to Derkach, the introduction of toll roads is one of the requirements of the European Union. However, to launch this mechanism, it is necessary to first conduct a detailed analysis of traffic intensity. Such an analysis is currently underway at six potential sites.
“Sooner or later, there will be toll roads anyway,” the deputy minister emphasized, adding that the country is gradually moving towards this model.
Ukraine is also negotiating with international investors and the European Investment Bank to support the project. The final decision will be made based on the results of the traffic intensity analysis.
