The project will be carried out in the area of Zamość District and Sokal District. One barrier for the growth of border regions is the insufficient development of the road network, which limits the region’s accessibility and attractiveness. The overall objective of this project is to develop the transport network, facilitating growth in the economy and cross-border tourism, which connects the Polish and Ukrainian border area. As a result of the project, 11,4 km of roads on the Polish side and 2,58 km on the Ukrainian side will be reconstructed. The beneficiaries of the project will be the residents of the Polish-Ukrainian borderland, tourists from other regions, visiting a region rich in cultural heritage (Bernardin Monastery from the 16th century and orthodox church in Zabużżia, 18th century wooden church and cemetery in Dub) and clean natural environment (Natura 2000 area), as well as enterprises and local authorities. The objective of the project is to improve the quality of road infrastructure on both sides of the border, which will enable a lasting cooperation in developing the cross-border region and promoting pro-ecology solutions – also in highway engineering (utilisation of photovoltaic street lighting). Joint cross-border undertakings will enable the promotion of the cultural heritage, whose development plays an important role in reinforcing the residents’ sense of identity and has a positive influence on the region’s economic potential. The project will result in producing the following: length of reconstructed roads 13,98 km (5 pcs.), number of districts benefiting from the modernised infrastructure 2 pcs., number of established partnerships 1 pc., number of awareness-raising campaigns concerning the lowcarbon transportation 1 pc. Implementation of the project will lead to reducing the travel time by about 6 minutes on sections of rebuilt roads.
