In 2025, under the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, about 3 thousand km of regional and local roads to kindergartens, schools and other educational and leisure institutions will be brought into compliance with the regulations. Most of the facilities are planned to be commissioned by the beginning of the new school year.
“High-quality and safe roads leading to schools, kindergartens and universities are a necessary condition for the comfortable life of children, parents and teachers. Good road surfaces, well-thought-out pedestrian crossings, lighting and necessary signs reduce the risk of accidents. In addition, a convenient route makes the work of school buses easier. This year, under the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, we plan to bring 854 road facilities up to standard – this is more than 3 thousand km of regional and local roads leading to educational institutions,” said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
Repair, reconstruction and construction of roads to educational institutions is, first and foremost, the creation of a safe space for children.
“When carrying out work, we implement comprehensive solutions: this is the installation of lighting, speed bumps, pedestrian barriers, and marking. All these measures reduce the risks on the path of a schoolchild. This approach has already proven itself well. Let me remind you that in 2024, under the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads”, 920 road facilities leading to educational institutions were brought into compliance with the standard, their total length was more than 3.1 thousand km,” said Minister of Transport Roman Starovoit.
The issue of reducing the risk of road accidents near children’s educational and leisure institutions has been a priority since the very beginning of the implementation of the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads”.
“Children are the most vulnerable road users. Their safety depends on our attention and responsibility, as well as on the good transport and operational condition of the roads. Over the six years of implementing the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads”, we have managed to bring more than 5,000 facilities near schools, kindergartens, higher education institutions, etc. into compliance with the regulations. This work continues in the new national project “Infrastructure for Life”. At the same time, together with regional project offices, we are trying to maintain the principle of an integrated approach: if an educational institution is built or modernized in a region, the road to it is also updated,” emphasized Igor Kostyuchenko, Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency.
Thus, in the village of Chigiri in the Amur Region, construction continues on a section of Krasnaya Street, which will become the access road to the new school. The three-story building of the new educational institution for 528 students was built at the end of last year. The completion of the work was eagerly awaited by residents not only of the village of Chigiri, but also of neighboring settlements.
In Chelyabinsk, a section of Kharis Yusupov Street is also under construction, about 0.4 km long. In the immediate vicinity is the school building and preschool department of Educational Center No. 2. This is one of the largest comprehensive schools in Chelyabinsk and the Ural Federal District – over 3.8 thousand people study here.
In the Chechen Republic, in 2025, under the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, five road facilities leading to schools and higher education institutions, with a total length of over 6.5 km, will be brought into compliance with the regulations. In particular, in Grozny, the reconstruction of a section of A. Sheripov Street, where the Chechen State University named after A.A. Kadyrov is located, continues. It was founded in 1938 and is now one of the leading centers of education and science in the North Caucasus Federal District. 15 thousand students receive education here.
