Ruim 90 procent is dringend aan groot onderhoud toe. Het kabinet gaat in de begroting voor volgend jaar uit van een investering tussen de 30 en 40 miljard hrivna voor wegenonderhoud. Een poging om wegenbelasting te innen via een opslag op de benzine- en dieselprijzen en boetes voor te zwaar beladen vrachtwagens liep in maart van dit jaar schipbreuk. Het is de bedoeling dat ongeveer een derde van het geld in het Wegenfonds naar lokale en regionale overheden gaat, terwijl 60 procent wordt besteed aan de Oekraïense snelwegen.

Some 286 lawmakers voted for the adoption of bill No. 4014a in first
reading on amendments to the law of Ukraine about sources of financing
road facilities of Ukraine in terms of improving the financial mechanism
of the road sector.
The required minimum is 226 votes.
Head of the Verkhovna Rada Transport Committee Yaroslav Dubnevych
stated, while presenting the bill at a parliament meeting, that the
adoption of the document would allow increasing the financing of roads
maintenance and construction through setting up a special-purpose fund.
At this, 35% of the fund's resources will be channeled to local budgets,
and over 60% will be spent on national highways.
"Some 35% [of funds], in the form of subsidies, will be allocated from
the Road Fund to local authorities that will independently decide which
roads are to be repaired in the first place," Dubnevych said.
Further, the parliament voted for the adoption of related bill No. 4015a
in first reading to amend the Budget Code regarding the improvement of
the financial mechanism of the road sector.
MPs also decided to prepare the draft laws for second reading, using the
simplified procedure.

As UNIAN reported earlier, the Verkhovna Rada on March 29 failed to pass
a bill due to insufficient number of votes, which proposed establishing
the Road Fund to be financed using proceeds from excise tax on fuel
imports, road tolls for overloaded vehicles and other payments.
According to Ukravtodor, at least UAH 60 billion is needed every year
for the construction and maintenance of roads in Ukraine. At this, over
90% of the Ukrainian roads require overhauls or renovation. Earlier, the
government planned to allocate about UAH 30-40 billion for road repairs
in 2017.
