Our crews are working on the most damaged sections of the highway, particularly on the Kalynivka bypass (km 274+000 – km 284+000). The works are carried out alternately on different lanes, which allows us to restore the pavement quickly while minimizing inconvenience for drivers. So far, 29,000 m² of road surface have been restored out of the planned 35,000 m², and the works are expected to be fully completed by the end of this week.
The M-21 highway is an important international transport corridor connecting Ukraine’s northern border with Moldova through the Mohyliv-Podilskyi – Otaci border crossing, one of the busiest points on the Ukrainian-Moldovan border. A significant volume of freight traffic moves along this route every day, supporting export and import logistics.
Timely restoration of the road surface helps ensure safe and uninterrupted traffic flow, which is particularly important for maintaining the stability of the country’s economy and logistics during wartime.
Soon, repair works on the M-21 will also begin in Zhytomyr region (section km 182+704 – km 232+340). In total, Autostrada plans to restore 30 km of road surface on the M-21 highway in Zhytomyr and Vinnytsia regions.
The repairs are carried out using the “patch section” method. Unlike traditional pothole repairs, damaged pavement is replaced not locally but in continuous rectangular sections. This approach eliminates unnecessary joints, creates a smoother road surface, and significantly increases pavement durability compared to conventional pothole repairs.
All stages of the works are carried out under continuous supervision by Autostrada’s technical control specialists and road laboratory experts. They monitor material quality, compliance with construction technologies, and adherence to regulatory standards. This ensures the durability of the restored pavement and safe traffic conditions.
Since March 1, Autostrada has been working on key transport arteries across the country. The restoration works involve 1,500 specialists and more than 500 units of specialized equipment. The entire production process is supported by Autostrada’s own capacities, including a network of modern asphalt plants located near the repair sites.
