According to the plan, the largest expenditures are planned for 2026-2028 - more than UAH 3.3 billion, including capital repairs, safe intersections, modernization of traffic lights and traffic management.
The program will run until 2028 and provides for a set of measures to modernize the transport infrastructure, improve road safety and increase the level of traffic management in Odesa.
