Road repairs in the Mykolaiv region, archive photo by NikVestiSince the start of 2026, the Infrastructure Restoration and Development Service in the Mykolaiv region has announced 18 tenders for road repairs with a total value of 4.8 billion hryvnias.
This is according to data from the BI Prozorro analytical monitoring system, NikVesti reports.
The work involves repairing specific sections of key routes in the region. In particular, these are the roads:
- Mykolaiv — Domanivka — Berizky;
- Blahovishchenske — Mykolaiv (via Voznesensk);
- Odesa — Melitopol — Novoazovsk;
- Mykolaiv — Parutyne — Ochakiv — Chornomorka holiday resort;
- Kazanka — Snihurivka — R-47;
- Oleksandrivka — Kropyvnytskyi — Mykolaiv.
The lowest-value tender is for 67.2 million hryvnias — this is for the repair of a section of the Kazanka — Snihurivka — R-47 road.
Meanwhile, the most expensive tender — 654.4 million hryvnias — was announced for the repair of several sections of the Mykolaiv — Parutyne — Ochakiv — Chornomorka holiday resort road.
According to the tender documentation, contractors must complete a comprehensive programme of road surface repair works by the end of 2026. Specifically, the works include milling the old asphalt concrete layer, levelling and preparing the road base using a gravel-sand or gravel mixture, as well as laying a new road surface using an asphalt concrete mixture and mastic asphalt. Separately, the application of horizontal road markings is planned.
As of now, most tenders are at the proposal submission stage. In some procurements, the selection of winners is already underway.
As a reminder, as of April, Mykolaiv region was among the top three regions in Ukraine in terms of road repair progress — since the start of the year, 69.3% of the planned works have already been completed in the region.
Previously, the Mykolaiv Region Infrastructure Restoration and Development Service reported that no major repairs to state roads are planned for 2026. More than 29.4 billion hryvnias are required to repair the region’s roads.
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 de-icing agents used on 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 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 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 the Mykolaiv budget has allocated 14 million hryvnias for emergency and pothole repairs on the roads.
