President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that in 2021, on the 30th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence, within the framework of the Big Construction program, it is planned to open the longest highway in the country – M-30 – from Stry in Lviv region to Izvaryne in Luhansk region.
“Our whole philosophy is aimed at uniting Ukraine, and this is what the infrastructure is about. We want to unite the west and the east with one large high-speed highway which is called M-30. This will be the longest road in Ukraine – 1,400 kilometers. It will go from Stry, but so far only to reach Pokrovsk, because 200 kilometers of this road is in the temporarily occupied part of Luhansk region,” Zelensky said during a working trip to Zaporizhia.
Deputy Head of the President’s Office Kyrylo Tymoshenko said that part of the route was restored in 2020, the rest will be restored next year. According to him, even without taking into account 200 km in the temporarily occupied territory, this route is still the longest in Ukraine.
