The document discusses the construction of a bridge across the Southern Buh River in Mykolaiv, Ukraine. The current bridge is outdated and the road running through the city causes traffic issues. The project aims to construct a new bridge and bypass roads to relieve traffic congestion in the city. Key details include the 13.2km bridge and access roads, a budget of 3.5 billion UAH, and benefits such as reduced pollution and improved transport efficiency in the region.

3. Aim:
•improvement of transport connection conditions in the southern region of
Ukraine by increasing the traffic performance of M-14 highway;
•improvement of the efficiency of transportation between the seaports in Odessa
and Mykolaiv regions of Ukraine and other countries of the European Union;
•reduction of anthropogenic impact on the environment of Mykolaiv city by
unloading of transport streams that run through the city center;
•increasing of the investment attractiveness of the Mykolaiv city and Mykolaiv
region by the development of transport infrastructure.
Objectives :

4.  The existing bridge over the river Southern Buh was built in 1964 and is
located on the main road M-14 Odessa-Melitopol-Novoazovsk.
 Currently, the road runs along the left bank of the river, on the territory of the
city Mykolaiv, passes across Southern Buh river by the city drawbridge, on the
right bank goes through the village Varvarovka that is part of the Mylolaiv city.
 Transit cargo road transport combining with urban traffic flows leads to a
sharp worsening of traffic conditions, decay of speed of traffic, traffic jams,
increases number of accidents, noise and gas pollution of the city.
 During the opening of drawbridge for the passage of ships, traffic movement
of vehicles which are crossing the bridge stops completely between the right-
bank and left bank of the city.
 The nearest bridge across the Southern Buh river is located in the city
Voznesensk, 90 km upstream of the river.

7. The project provides:
 The withdrawal of transit traffic out of the city and
improvement of the ecological environment of Mykolaiv city
and surrounding areas
 Significant reduction of carbon dioxide emissions to the
atmosphere by reducing of travel time and sustainable
transport speed
 Building of the new bridge does not influence the ecosystem
of Southern Buh river and does not create additional
limitations for shipping
Environmentally friendly building
