21 January , 2021  

The State Agency of Automobile Roads of Ukraine (Ukravtodor) during tenders in the state electronic trading system ProZorro has reduced the expected cost of building a new bridge in Kremenchuk (Poltava region) by 11%, or UAH 1.27 billion.

Ukravtodor reported the tender was won by the Turkish company Dogus Insaat Ve Ticaret with a final offer of UAH 11.249 billion – an agreement with it will be signed after the completion of all tender procedures.

“The fact that new international players appear in the road sector who are immediately ready to compete on equal terms with others is a sign of a healthy market. And another confirmation that the path we have chosen is working. I am sure that there are more such companies – and quality as well will grow,” Head of Ukravtodor Oleksandr Kubrakov said.

According to him, 95% of the materials that will be used in the construction of the bridge will be Ukrainian.

According to the feasibility study of the project, the new bridge will be cable-stayed, with four lanes, two in each direction. On the right bank of the Dnipro River, it will connect with the N-08 highway, on the left – with the existing street network of Kremenchuk. At these points, it is planned to build transport interchanges at different levels. The total length of the structures will be over 3 km.

Dogus Insaat Ve Ticaret will both design and build the new bridge crossing as the “design and build” tender was announced.
