On the Ukrainian-Romanian border today, November 10, the newly constructed "Krasnoiilsk" automobile checkpoint began operating.
This was informed by the Deputy Head of the Office of the President Kyrylo Tymoshenko.
The new point is located within the Chernivtsi region. According to Tymoshenko, he will help unload the only point in Bukovyna on the border with Romania — "Porubne", where the line of trucks sometimes reached dozens of kilometers.
"Krasnoiilsk" will be able to pass 2 000 people, 10 buses and 490 cars per day. Later, this point will become a full-fledged cargo checkpoint. The issue of creating the necessary cargo infrastructure is currently being discussed with Romania.
Tymoshenko also added that the international checkpoint "Dyakivtsi", also on the border with Romania, is 85% ready. The work there should be completed by the end of the year.
- On November 8, "Ukrzaliznytsia" (UZ) conducted the first test run of the train on the restored Rakhiv — Dilove — Vala-Vicheului (Romania) section. This route will soon be served by "Marmaro Express" — regional train PDT-3 [passenger diesel train], built in Ukraine. The UZ expects that it will start running already at the beginning of December.
