General overview
The M06 is a major transnational corridor and along with the M03 combines into European route E40.[2] The highway is also part of the Pan-European Transportation corridors III and V as well as the "Europe-Asia" Transportation corridor. It is the second longest route spanning over 800 kilometres (500 mi). For most of its length it is categorized as the category Ia highway in Ukraine (see Roads in Ukraine). The M06 connects four major European routes: E40, E50, E85, and E95.
History
The route from Lemberg via Stryj to the then Austro-Hungarian border belonged until 1918 to the Austrian crown land of Galicia and was called the Stryjer Reichsstraße.[3]
Description
From Kyiv to Lviv the M06 is part of European route E40, European route E471 from Lviv to Mukachevo, European route E50 from Stryi (Lviv Region) to Uzhhorod, and European route E573 from Uzhhorod to the Hungarian border.
From Kyiv to Rivne, the road features 2 lanes in both directions with physical separation, with the exception of Zhytomyr bypass. From Rivne on, the road is mostly a single carriageway, though some dual carriageway sections exist.
During May 2022, several segments of this road were closed due to 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Until 1 April, several civilians have been killed while they were trying to leave Kyiv.[4]
