Ukravtodor shared an update on Facebook.

"In 100 days of war, 24,000 km of roads and 300 bridges were destroyed.

Russia does not stop destroying our infrastructure, but the country continues to live and rebuild in conditions of war.

We have paused all large-scale construction projects, instead we are working on 'roads of life' and critical routes," the statement said.

At the same time, workers continue to repair roads. On June 2, traffic was opened on the section of the H-31 highway in the Dnipropetrovsk region, which is almost 30 km of the Poltava-Kyiv highway. Traffic on the Warsaw Route from Kyiv to Kovel has already resumed, 3 bridges have been destroyed there.

In the liberated territories, 39 temporary crossings were provided on the roads to Kyiv, Irpin, Bucha, Gostomel, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy and Mykolayiv.

"Traffic was opened for trucks on the M-06 Kyiv-Chop highway. Near the destroyed bridge in the first weeks of the occupation, a temporary crossing for cars was built in Stoyanka, but the trucks had to travel extra kilometers. Currently, traffic can move along the restored left driveway of the bridge," Ukravtodor added.

The agency also continues to clear and clean roads from machinery, garbage and dirt, 930 km of roads have already been cleared.
