The Border Infrastructure Modernization Program of Ukraine is an important tool for increasing the efficiency, security and throughput capacity of state border crossing points. The Program provides for the implementation of six projects covering key road crossing points in the Transcarpathian, Volyn, Chernivtsi and Vinnytsia regions: Uzhhorod, Chop (Tisa), Yagodyn, Luzhanka, Porubne and Mogilev-Podilskyi.
The total amount of funding is 146.5 million euros. All projects are integrated into the TEN-T network - the trans-European transport network, which is the basis for strengthening Ukraine's logistical ties with the EU. The development of these facilities will significantly reduce congestion at the border, speed up freight transportation, improve the infrastructure of service areas for drivers and customs authorities, as well as increase energy efficiency and digitalization of data processing.
The program is of strategic importance for the country's post-war recovery, ensuring economic stability and further integration into the European economic space. It also meets Ukraine's priorities for European integration and strengthening transport connections with the world. Thanks to the support of international partners, in particular the European Investment Bank, the implementation of this program will become an impetus for the development of a new quality of infrastructure at the borders, which is extremely necessary in the context of growing humanitarian, trade and security challenges.
