The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine plans to expand the Big Construction program for building bridges, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has said. “We plan to expand the program to building bridges,” he wrote in his Telegram channel.
The government intends to invest UAH 100 billion only in road construction this year, which would create at least 170,000 jobs, he said.
In addition, schools, kindergartens and stadiums are a priority for the Cabinet of Ministers. At the same time, work on such facilities should be completed before the start of the next school year.
The Big Construction program also includes the reconstruction of more than 200 reception departments in supporting medical facilities.
“A third of all funds from the program should be sent to the regions in May,” Shmyhal said.
