Kyiv. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – June 09, 2021 – Transportation
This was announced during a meeting of the House of Regions of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities by Prime Minister Alexander Kubrakov.
Ukravtodor installed 25 complexes last year, another 25 were installed by a separate enterprise of the Ministry of Infrastructure. In total – 50. This year we are installing about 50 more across the country. I believe that if they are all working, even this number will be enough to bring order because they are installed in the narrowest places, “he said.
According to Kubrakov, the cost of installing one such system is slightly more than $ 1 million.
