In addition to roads, it is important to take care of the condition of artificial structures, including a dam across the Dnipro River near Cherkasy with a length of more than 13 km. More than 10,000 cars cross it every day.

This is the route of international importance M-02, highways R-67 Chernihiv - Nizhyn - Pryluky - Pyryatyn and R-61 Baturyn - Konotop - Sumy, as well as a number of regional and territorial roads.
