In Moldova, repair works are underway on the Bendera – Keushani – Basarabiaska – Etuli – Giurgiulesti railway section. Rail.Insider informs about it with the reference to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development of the country.

The project envisages the major overhaul of about 80 km and the ongoing repair of about 153 km of track. After the completion of the works, freight trains will run at a speed of about 90 km/h on the corresponding section.

The contractor company is Temirzhol Zhondeu LLC.

UZ repaired almost 70 km of tracks, renovated 10 bridges on these sections, in addition, station infrastructure in Khyrov, Nižankovychy and Starzhava was restored.

Also, Ukraine will continue in 2023 develop logistics on the border with the EU. It is about opening new checkpoints on the border with the European Union and increasing the capacity of existing ones. And also about the construction of roads, bridges and railways, which are of critical importance for Ukrainian exports.
