The M 19 is a trunk road of "international importance" in Ukraine . It runs from the Belarusian border southeast near Brest via Lutsk , Ternopil and Chernivtsi to the Romanian border. The continuation on Belarusian territory is the M 12 , which meets the M 1 ( Warsaw - Minsk - Moscow route ) near Kobryn . In Romanian territory it becomes Drum național 2 , which largely runs parallel to the Sereth River as far as Bucharest .

history

The route south of Tarnopol belonged to the Austrian Crown Land of Galicia until 1918 and has been known as the Podolier Reichsstraße since it was expanded in the 1880s . The bridge over the Seret at Chortkiv was built in 1885–1886 and the bridge over the Dniester at Salishchyky in 1885–1890 . This area was occupied by Russian troops during the First World War .

The road between Tarnopol and the then Polish-Romanian border lay between 1920 and 1939 on the territory of the Second Polish Republic and was declared a state road ( droga państwowa ) by the Polish Road Act of December 10, 1920 .

The paved road between Brest and Lutsk and the then mostly unpaved road between Lutsk and Tarnopol also belonged to the territory of the Second Polish Republic between 1921 and 1939 and were also declared state roads by the Polish Road Act of 23 June 1921.

Before 1991 the M 19 north of Chernivtsi was part of the M 14 , south of it the A 269 in the Soviet trunk road network. It is still part of the European route 85 today .
