Global experience in applying long-term contracts in road management and prospects for their adaptation in Ukraine.

The aim of this article is to analyze the global experience in applying long-term contracts in road management and evaluate the prospects for their adaptation in Ukraine. Considering the current challenges faced by Ukrainian infrastructure, this study seeks to identify the most effective contract models that can be implemented to improve road quality, optimize costs, and enhance transparency in the road sector. In countries with well-developed road infrastructure, long-term contracts have become a crucial tool for ensuring quality construction, operation, and maintenance of roads. These contracts help reduce risks for public authorities by attracting private investments and increasing accountability among stakeholders. Ukraine, struggling with insufficient funding and outdated road management mechanisms, requires innovative approaches that could be adapted from international practices.
