M-09 Highway: Full Scope of Works Resumed! The capital repair of the M-09 highway in the Lviv region continued even during the winter period. Works on the installation of stormwater drainage systems within settlements and sheet piling at the bridge in Rava-Ruska were carried out. With the arrival of truly warm spring weather, the full scope of works has now resumed. - Finalizing the pavement structure on widening sections (cement-stabilized crushed stone base) and placing the lower layer of coarse asphalt; - Reconstructing two bridges into double-cell concrete box culverts; Installing reinforcement cages for the construction of bridge cross-beams. 🚩As a reminder, in April last year Automagistral-Pivden began the capital repair of the M-09 highway on the section between Lviv and the Rava-Ruska – Hrebenne border crossing point. This is the main route from Kyiv to Warsaw and forms part of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). The length of our repair section (from Volia-Vysotska village to the border crossing point) is 33.4 km. Before the war, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) conducted a road safety audit, economic feasibility analysis, as well as environmental and social assessments. In 2020, Ukraine and the Bank signed a financing agreement for a number of projects, including the capital repair of the M-09. During the war, the project has become even more relevant — traffic load on the highway has increased, and the condition of the pavement has deteriorated. The project includes: ✅ Widening the road outside populated areas with the addition of an extra traffic lane; ✅ Adding acceleration and deceleration lanes on both sides near bus stops, intersections, and junctions; ✅ Complete replacement of the road base and installation of a new three-layer asphalt concrete pavement; ✅ Reconstruction of 6 bridges, most of which are in emergency condition; 4 bridges will be replaced with concrete culverts, and a roundabout will be constructed; ✅ Installation of a roadway drainage system; ✅ Construction of sidewalks, bicycle paths, and noise protection barriers. During 2025, works on half of the 34-km section included road widening, construction of a new road base and asphalt pavement, installation of monolithic deck slabs on 5 bridges, construction of 9 culverts, and 4 wildlife crossings.
