The road Astrakhan – Krasny Yar – the border of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Astrakhan region.
As part of the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, work is underway to reconstruct and repair road sections throughout the country. This year, it is planned to bring about 3.2 thousand km of regional and inter-municipal roads included in the backbone network into regulatory condition.
“The backbone network as the key transport framework of our country covers about 82 million people. By 2030, the task is to ensure that about 120 million people are in the backbone network zone. By that time, the share of backbone network roads in the standard should increase to 85%. These highways not only connect regional capitals with municipal districts, but also lead to large cities, industrial centers, and the borders of neighboring states. It is along them that the main freight and passenger flow moves. The good condition of such roads also contributes to an increase in the quality of life of citizens by reducing travel time and making travel more comfortable. This year, under the federal project “Regional and Local Road Network” of the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, we will bring 3.2 thousand km of backbone network roads up to standard,” said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
Let us recall that in 2023, the concept of “backbone road network” was enshrined in Russian legislation for the first time. The corresponding law was signed by President Vladimir Putin.
“Today, the total length of the backbone road network is 140.8 thousand km. Of this amount, 74.3 thousand km are roads of regional or inter-municipal significance and 66.5 thousand km are federal. Thanks to the interaction of the federal center and regional project teams, by the end of 2024, the share of backbone road network in the standard was 73.18%,” emphasized Minister of Transport Roman Starovoit.
The positive experience of previous years will contribute to the implementation of the tasks set before road workers.
“In 2024, over 3.5 thousand km of the backbone network were updated under the federal project “Regional and Local Road Network” of the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads”. This work is actively continuing in the regions today thanks to the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, – noted Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency Igor Kostyuchenko.
Thus, in the Ryazan region, major repairs are underway on a section of the regional highway Tambov-Shatsk, which connects the subject with the neighboring Tambov region. The length of the facility is 15.8 km.
The same road is being renovated in the Tambov region. In 2025, 20.1 km of the road surface will be repaired under the national project. In particular, in the area of the villages of Serpovoye and Khlystovo, the asphalt concrete surface will be replaced, and near the village of Algasovo, road workers will lay the foundation for 2 km, lay the lower and upper layers of the road surface.
In the Novosibirsk region this season 50 km of the Novosibirsk-Kochki-Pavlodar highway will be renewed. It provides fast communication with the regional center for residents of five districts and more than a hundred settlements, and is also a transport corridor to the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The work is being carried out in five districts of the region at once. The largest is in Novosibirsk. Here, reconstruction of a section near the villages of Krasny Vostok and 8 Marta, 3.2 km long, has begun. The road will be widened to 4 lanes, 7 adjoining sections will be built, 4 stops and 2 overground pedestrian crossings will be equipped.
In the Astrakhan region, a 12-kilometer section of the Astrakhan-Krasny Yar-border with the Republic of Kazakhstan highway has already been put into operation after repairs. The highway plays an important role in the economic and social development of the region, as it provides transport links with the neighboring state – the Republic of Kazakhstan.
