The Slovak-Ukrainian border region, particularly Zakarpattia and Prešov, faces growing environmental challenges due to climate change, notably a higher frequency of landslides and flash floods. These hazards threaten critical transport infrastructure, road safety, and the ecological balance of the region.
The project responds to these challenges with targeted construction and technical interventions aimed at increasing the resilience and operational quality of key cross-border roads. On the Slovak side, improvements on road III/3612 include the construction of runoff traps, replacement of a DN 600 drainage pipe, and reconstruction of roadway segments to boost flow capacity, reduce noise and emissions, and enhance traffic safety. On the Ukrainian side, the project focuses on reconstructing the left side of the H-13 road (km 191+820 to 191+951), stabilizing the subgrade and slopes to prevent landslides and reduce soil degradation.
Main objectives include:
-
Preventing further landslide development by reinforcing vulnerable terrain;
-
Modernising road infrastructure for higher safety and environmental standards;
-
Ensuring a more reliable, climate-resilient transport network in the cross-border area.
These measures will create safer travel conditions, support cross-border mobility, and contribute to a more sustainable and ecologically secure environment.
