The M2 highway's northern terminus is at Cosăuți on the Dniester. There is no bridge on the M2 across the river; crossing to the other side of the Dniester requires using a ferry line. The Ukrainian city of Yampil is located on the said other side of the river, immediately after the ferry landing. In Ukraine, the road continues on as the P08 to Nemyriv.{{Cite web |title=M2 at the border with Ukraine |url=https://www.google.com/maps/@48.2393839,28.276198,13.52z |website=Google Maps |access-date=2022-03-06}} Construction of the bridge over the Dniester on the M2 highway is however planned as of 2022; they will be funded by the Ukrainian side, and will significantly reduce time spent on the road between Chișinău and the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv to five hours.{{Cite web |last=Orjanu |first=Gheorghiță |title=Noul pod peste Nistru va fi finanțat de Ucraina.
