The relevance of the study is related to the urgent need to restore the transport infrastructure of Ukraine, which suffered large-scale destruction as a result of the war, taking into account that transport system that plays a key role in ensuring economic stability, logistical continuity and the country’s integration into global economic processes. The purpose of the study was to develop a methodological approach that would minimise the level of entropy in transport systems and accelerate the reconstruction process by using elements of a mixed economic model. To achieve the goal and solve the tasks set, a comparative analysis of world models of infrastructure management in crisis recovery was used. The results of the study confirmed the effectiveness of the integration of different approaches to the assessment of economic models, which made it possible to formulate practical recommendations for the restoration of transport infrastructure in crisis conditions. In particular, it was found that the most acceptable model for the restoration of the transport infrastructure of Ukraine is a mixed economic model, which provides a synergistic combination of public and private resources. The study proposed priorities for the reconstruction of key infrastructure nodes that will contribute to the stability of economic processes and improve the orderliness of the transport system. A methodological approach that integrates the best practices of countries with different economic models, adapting them to the specific conditions and needs of Ukraine, has also been developed. The proposed solutions provide a comprehensive approach to infrastructure restoration, taking into account the limited resources and high level of risks. The results obtained are of important practical importance for the development of a state strategy for post-war restoration and infrastructure development of the country, which will reduce costs, optimise the use of resources and increase the speed of implementation of infrastructure projects in the post-war period, ensuring long-term economic stability
