As a reminder, work had previously been underway there to repair the tram tracks. Following this, Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych said in March 2026, work would begin on asphalting the road and laying paving slabs. Once completed, this section of the street will have two-way traffic, the mayor noted.

What is the situation with road repairs in Mykolaiv?

Following this year’s winter, deep potholes have appeared on Mykolaiv’s roads due to the effects of freeze-thaw cycles and de-icing agents that were spread over the asphalt surface.

Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych stated that there are currently no funds in the city budget for routine or major road repairs. He noted that the budget contains only 20 million hryvnias exclusively for patching potholes for the entire year.

Meanwhile, in a comment to NikVesti, Vitalii Shevchenko, director of the municipal enterprise «ELU Avtodorig», said that there would be no large-scale patching of potholes on Mykolaiv’s roads for about another month due to unstable weather conditions and the dampness of the road sub-base.

In early March, municipal workers began patching potholes on Tsentralnyi Avenue.

And the Mykolaiv budget has allocated 14 million hryvnias for emergency and pothole repairs.

As of May 2026, over 8,500 square metres of emergency potholes on Mykolaiv’s roads had been repaired. At the same time, the municipal enterprise «ELU Avtodorig» has announced a tender for the repair of potholes and other deformations in the asphalt concrete surface in Mykolaiv. Over 3 million hryvnias are planned to be allocated for the works.
