In Ukraine, the introduction of paid highways modeled after European systems is planned. Although the exact toll rates for these roads have not yet been established, the government approved maximum tariffs back in 2020. However, final prices may be adjusted and will be announced directly by the road operators before the payment system comes into effect. This information was reported by "Vydomo" citing "Suspilne".

"Ukraine essentially lacks sufficient funding sources for road repairs and construction. Even if the active phase of the war ends next year, we will still have to allocate a significant part of the budget for military purposes. Therefore, we need to seek alternative funding sources for roads," says Viktor Dovhan, former Deputy Minister of Infrastructure.

As a result, the idea of implementing toll roads has come back into focus.

According to representatives of the Ministry of Community Development, the following routes are being considered:

  • Dnipro – Kryvyi Rih;
  • Kharkiv – Dnipro – Zaporizhzhia;

Additionally, toll roads may be established on the following routes:

  • Boryspil – Poltava;
  • Kyiv – Rivne;
  • Yahodyn – Kovel – Lutsk;
  • Kherson – Mykolaiv.

At the end of 2020, the government set maximum toll rates for paid roads; however, final prices may be adjusted due to changes in the economic situation, ranging from 2 to 5.84 hryvnias per kilometer depending on the weight of the vehicle.
