ODESA. Nov 22 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Automagistral-Yug (Odessa) has begun to build a runway for the Odesa International Airport and on its Facebook page showed photos of the start of work.
“The beginning of the implementation of a major infrastructure project – the preparatory stage of the construction of a new runway at the Odesa International Airport! The completion of construction works for the first start-up complex is planned by the end of 2018,” the company said in a publication on November 18, 2017.
The airport’s press service on Monday was unavailable for comments.
As the source familiar with the situation told Interfax-Ukraine, the company carried out these works about 1.5 months ago under the 2013 project. According to the source, the company expects to finance works from the national budget after a tender conducted in 2013. However, it was hard to say if the works were approved by profile agencies.
Another source of Interfax-Ukraine familiar with the technical details of the construction project expressed doubt about the appropriateness of carrying out construction works for the new runway using the 2013 project. The source believes that the design parameters of the facility will not allow it to be exploited.
Automagistral-Yug is one of the largest contractors of Ukravtodor and constantly wins tenders for road works across the country. In 2015, the company already cooperated with Odesa airport, having carried out a complex of works on construction of approaching roads and parking lots for motor transport.
