The scope of works includes the removal of 118 metres of kerbstones and the installation of new ones, the laying of paving slabs over an area of 474 square metres, the replacement of a storm drain and cast-iron manhole covers, and the installation of five road signs.

As a reminder, NikVesti reported that deep potholes had formed at the entrance to Matviivka, and the damaged road surface had effectively turned the road into an obstacle course.

On 6 July, during a staff meeting, the head of the Central District Administration, Oleksandr Bereza, appealed to the mayor to intervene in the situation due to numerous complaints from Matviivka residents. At the time, Oleksandr Sienkevych stated that the road was not the city’s responsibility, whilst the regional Road Maintenance Service, in response to a verbal enquiry, reported a lack of funds. The mayor instructed that an official letter regarding the road repairs be drafted.

On 16 July, it emerged that patch repairs had begun on the road leading to the Matviivka neighbourhood.
