The practical phase of large-scale modernization of the cargo terminal has begun at the international road border crossing point “Porubne–Siret.” The first phase of construction works has started, providing for the expansion of infrastructure.
Construction works have commenced to arrange four additional traffic lanes for freight transport. Earthworks are underway at the site, the foundation of the future roadway is being formed, and elements of the drainage system, including stormwater drainage, are being installed. The process of laying the designed engineering networks is also ongoing.
To ensure quality and transparency in the project’s implementation, the Service for Restoration and Development of Infrastructure in Chernivtsi oblast has concluded contracts for independent technical and design supervision. Oversight will cover all stages—from the start of construction to the commissioning of the facility.
Overall, the international project provides for comprehensive modernization of the cargo terminal, including:
• expansion of infrastructure through the construction of four additional outbound lanes for trucks;
• arrangement of a parking area for freight transport;
• installation of modern customs and control equipment.
Project financing is carried out on a 50/50 basis: through a European Union grant under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) program and funds from the State Budget of Ukraine.
The modernization of the “Porubne–Siret” border crossing point is being implemented with the support of the European Commission and the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA).
This cooperation became possible thanks to coordination and strategic communication between the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine and the State Agency for Restoration and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine.
