Last year, 3.6 million hryvnias were spent on road repairs and maintenance in Voznesensk. These funds were used to patch up the tarmac, grade dirt roads, cover them with crushed stone and repair pavements.

This is stated in the draft resolution of the Voznesensk City Council on the approval of the report on the implementation of the Programme for the construction, reconstruction and repair of streets and roads for 2025.

Of the planned 3.71 million hryvnias, the city used 3.64 million, i.e. almost 96 per cent of the programme’s budget.

Over the course of the year, more than 2,000 square metres of asphalt surfacing were repaired in the municipality. A further 191 kilometres of unpaved roads were levelled using a grader, and additional fill was applied to certain sections. The city also refurbished some of its pavements, replacing the old surfacing with paving slabs.

The city council notes that the work carried out has helped to keep the roads in a passable condition and improve transport and pedestrian links.

As a reminder, 820.8 million hryvnias are earmarked for the annual maintenance of 3,300 kilometres of local roads in the Mykolaiv region.

And what about 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 the de-icing agents that were spread over the asphalt surface.

Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych stated that the city budget currently lacks funds for routine and major road repairs. He noted that the budget allocates just 20 million hryvnias exclusively for patching potholes throughout the year.

Meanwhile, in a comment to NikVesti, Vitalii Shevchenko, director of the municipal enterprise «ELU Avtodorig», explained that there will be no large-scale pothole repairs 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 carrying out pothole repairs on Tsentralnyi Avenue.

And it was decided to allocate 14 million hryvnias from Mykolaiv’s budget for emergency and pothole repairs to roads.

As of May 2026, over 8,500 square metres of roads with emergency potholes had been repaired in Mykolaiv. 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.
