Statement of the problem. Road building is an important task of the State in modern society, and therefore it requires special attention from the state authorities. Warfare has caused catastrophic destruction on a large Ukraine territory, which has also affected the road surface in many regions. Therefore, Ukraine suffers from these problems to a large extent, which requires adequate management actions by the state authorities and proper regulatory  support  for  efficient  road  building,  which  can  bring  the  industry  to  a fundamentally new level of development.

Analysis of recent research and publications. The problems of functioning of the road building sector are studied in the works of such scientists as A. Bezuglyi, T. Zakha- rova, V. Ivanchenko, N. Ishchenko, V. Krasniuk, O. Nepomniashchyi, I. Novakovska, Y. Sereda, B. Stasiuk, M. Stetsiuk, M. Yanchuk and others. They analyse the relevance of implementing the European experience of road safety management in the public administration system, study the peculiarities of road safety management, carry out a comprehensive assessment of the efficiency indicators of road building investments, substantiate the ecological and economic principles of land use of road transport and road economy, and study the peculiarities of public administration of road construction.

Identification of previously unresolved parts of the general problem. The subject of this research is to study the peculiarities of regulatory and legal support for the road building.

Summary of the basic research material. The analysis of the regulatory and legal support for road building shows that its legal regulation is sufficient. However, there are problems relating to the efficient and legal use of subvention funds, which is directly related to the corruption component. In this regard, it is necessary: to reduce corruption risks, to bring Ukrainian legislation closer to European requirements; to amend the Law "On Public Procurement" to require the use of an electronic procurement system; to regulate the prohibition of procurement of services for routine medium-term maintenance of roads by individual sections; to improve the advisory and personnel issues.

Conclusions. In order to solve the problems that exist in the regulatory and legal sphere of road building, it is necessary to harmonise Ukrainian legislation with the European legislative framework, to amend the relevant regulatory documents to increase the level of transparency of tendering in the process of road building, and to ensure an appropriate level of expert advice during the implementation of works related to road building.
