During wartime, when logistics have become a key factor in the country’s economic resilience and defense capability, the Autostrada team continues to work on strategically important projects.

The seaports of Odesa region today serve as gateways for Ukrainian exports to international markets. In 2024, more than 70% of Ukraine’s agricultural exports—which generate over 50% of the nation’s foreign currency revenue—passed through Ukrainian seaports.

To support the efficiency and continuity of export logistics, Autostrada is carrying out the reconstruction of the third phase of a transport overpass, which, once completed, will enhance the capacity of the port’s infrastructure.

As part of the reconstruction of the 2-kilometer-long overpass, over 10 meters wide, the following works have been completed:

• A new reinforced monolithic slab over 1,000 meters long has been installed to evenly distribute the load from heavy vehicles and prevent deformation of the road surface. This solution is particularly important for port infrastructure, where heavy truck traffic is constant.

• 200 meters of technical walkways have been arranged to ensure continuous access to the overpass maintenance system.

In the near future, the construction team plans to install the road pavement on the overpass and technical walkway, and to mount the barrier and handrail systems.
By the end of the year, traffic on part of the overpass for all types of transport is expected to be launched.

Overall, within the third phase of reconstruction, the project includes repairing existing reinforced concrete structures, restoring and strengthening the overpass supports, modernizing the drainage system, and performing a full range of works to improve the safety, reliability, and efficiency of the overpass as an essential element of a key transport corridor.

Despite the constant threat of shelling—since port infrastructure remains one of the enemy’s targets—the Autostrada team continues to work while strictly following all safety measures.

More than 400 company specialists and around 50 units of modern machinery are engaged on the site. Every stage of the reconstruction undergoes thorough quality control of materials and technologies, ensuring the strength and durability of the overpass.
