The State Agency of Automobile Roads of Ukraine (Ukravtodor) and JSC Ukrzaliznytsia have agreed to coordinate the logistics of construction materials deliveries to facilities being built as part of the government’s Big Construction program, the Ukravtodor Telegram channel reported.
The parties agreed on an optimal model for the information exchange to ensure timely delivery of raw materials to the Big Construction facilities.
“Ukravtodor assumes a coordinating role for the proper planning of freight traffic along the Ukrzaliznytsia routes. Ambitious plans require well-coordinated work of public and private institutions, so with reasonable coordination, we will avoid delays and breakdowns in repairs,” Oleksandr Kubrakov, the head of Ukravtodor, said.
The information exchange on the volumes of raw materials needed to be transported and maintenance of the repair schedule will take place on the basis of Ukravtodor for the purpose of centralized planning of all work.
