Ukraine proposes to Moldova a joint construction of a bridge across the Dniester
The Ukrainian government is going to offer Moldova a joint effort to build a bridge across the Dniester in Yampil, reported the press service of the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers.
“Until now, the connection between the two European countries in the area near the borders of Yampil and Cosauti, which is 100 km away from each other, is still a ferry. This has not been meeting the needs of our times and the real needs of our governments for quite some time. Building a modern bridge is reflected in the Transport Strategy of Ukraine until 2030. This speaks to Ukraine’s “political will” to implement this project,” said in this regard, the Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Volodymyr Kistion at a meeting where central and local authorities were present.
Currently, the connection between Ukraine and Moldova across the Dniester River in the Vinnytsia region is provided by the only bridge that is in the zone of the border crossing point “Mogilev-Podolsky-Atach.”
On November 18th, 2017, Moldova opened an automobile bridge across the Dniester in the region of Gura Bicului (Moldova) and Bicioc (the territory of unrecognized Transnistria).
