Possibility of building a bridge across the Dniester, which will make it possible to create a new transport corridor for Ukraine, will once again be considered in the Cabinet of Ministers. According to the director of the housing and communal services department, energy and infrastructure of the regional state administration Anatoly Vakar, the corresponding letter was sent to the name of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
Bridge, which on 400 kilometers will reduce the distance of transportation between the Baltic countries, Scandinavia and southeastern EU countries with Turkey, planned between the Ukrainian city of Yampol and the Moldovan village of Kosouci. Now only a ferry crossing is possible there.
According to the chairman of the Yampolsk Regional State Administration Mikhail Vdovtsov, work in this direction has been significantly intensified by the Euroregion "Dniester". So, last year the Euroregion presented the project “Bridge – pledge of prosperity and unity "for the construction of the bridge" Kosouci – Yampol ", which provides for the opening of a new cross-border corridor.
Moldova has already secured the support of the European Union, which allocated for the construction of the bridge 50000000 euro, noted the representative of the Soroca region of Moldova. Turkey is also interested in the transport project..
The bridge can be used in combination – for road and rail traffic, emphasized Boris Vanya. Railway track "Floreshty – Magpie – Yampol – Vapnyarka "can be shortened to 400 km., and this will significantly reduce the cost of transportation of goods, because it is known, that rail transportation is ten times cheaper, than road transport.
