ZAPORIZHIA, Feb. 3 – Ukraine's largest bridge construction company, Kiev-based OJSC Mostobud, which is a general contractor in a project to build a viaduct across the Dnieper River in Zaporizhia, is in talks with the U.S. Sunland Group Corporation on raising a loan for construction projects.

If the financing of construction projects is stable and at least UAH 1.2 billion is raised in 2009, the bridges it is constructing may be completed within two years, Zaporizhia Town Hall's press service told Interfax-Ukraine with reference to Mayor Yevhen Kartashov.
