In 2025, under the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, about 2 thousand km of regional and local roads leading to tourist attractions: unique natural complexes, architectural monuments, religious buildings, historical landmarks will be brought into compliance with the regulations. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
“High-quality roads play a key role in the development of the tourism industry, providing access to both popular and new destinations, memorable places and unique natural complexes, increasing the safety of movement and the comfort of travel. This is especially relevant today, when domestic tourism, including automobile tourism, is actively developing in the country. Thanks to the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, in 2025 we plan to bring about 2 thousand km of regional and local roads leading to tourist attractions up to standard,” said Marat Khusnullin.
The development of domestic tourism is one of the key growth points for regions.
“High-quality infrastructure can turn a small settlement into a popular tourist center, attracting thousands of visitors every year. In turn, the development of the hotel business, restaurant sector and entertainment sector provides new jobs, increases the income of local residents and contributes to the overall prosperity of the region. This year, under the federal project “Regional and Local Road Network”, repair work will be carried out at 434 sites included in tourist routes,” said Minister of Transport Roman Starovoit.
Transport accessibility is as important to travelers as service and comfortable accommodation. That is why in recent years, special attention has been paid to the renovation of such roads.
“Over the six years of implementing the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads”, we have managed to bring more than 9.7 thousand km of tourist routes into compliance, which is about 2 thousand objects – sections of roads and artificial structures. Getting to many attractions has become faster and more comfortable, many interesting places have become more popular, because now there is a good road leading there. The extensive joint work of federal and regional project teams to update tourist routes will continue in the new national project “Infrastructure for Life” and will be aimed at achieving the main goal – improving the quality of life of Russians,” emphasized Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency Igor Kostyuchenko.
In the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, thanks to the national project, the reconstruction of one of the most important regional facilities continues – a tunnel at the 21st km of the Chikola-Matsuta-Komi-Art highway. Its length is 269 m. Now specialists are carrying out the final finishing of the renovated artificial structure and preparing it for commissioning.
The route along this road provides transport access to one of the most picturesque and ecologically significant areas of the region, opening access to unique natural landscapes, historical and cultural sites and tourist bases of the republic. For example, in the high-mountain part of the Digorskoye Gorge, where the route leads, there are eight tourist bases and mountaineering camps. In addition, here travelers can visit such cultural and natural monuments as the Eagle’s Nest observation deck, the Karaugom glacier, the Tamisk thermal springs and the Uastyrdzhi monument.
In the Republic of Crimea, thanks to the national project, major repairs are underway on a 20 km section of the Alushta-Sudak-Feodosia highway. This is one of the most picturesque routes in Crimea, which runs along the coast and mountain ranges.
In the Kostroma region this year, a 3.2 km long access road to the village of Medvedki will be repaired. The road connecting the settlement with the Kostroma-Susanino-Buy highway leads to the oldest stud farm, founded in 1891 in Medvedki by the merchant Skalozubov. The stable buildings built here with a unique tent-type riding arena have no analogues in Russia and are an architectural monument of federal significance.
