By 2030, Russia plans to build and reconstruct more than 3.7 thousand km of highways. This is envisaged by the six-year road activity plan, which was approved by order of the Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. The document will become one of the main instruments for implementing the new national project “Infrastructure for Life”.
In 2025–2030, the country plans to build and reconstruct over 1,900 km of federal and 1,700 km of regional roads, including about 900 km of roads in rural areas. As part of the President’s instruction, the construction of 50 bypasses of populated areas on federal and regional highways will be completed by the end of 2030. In the new regions – the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, Zaporizhia and Kherson Oblasts – it is planned to restore highways with a total length of over 1,500 km.
Among the major projects announced in the plan are the construction and reconstruction of the following highways: M-2 “Crimea”, M-5 “Ural”, M-7 “Volga”, M-8 “Kholmogory”, M-9 “Baltia”, M-10 “Russia”, R-21 “Kola”, R-22 “Caspian”, R-217 “Caucasus”, M-4 “Don”, R-255 “Siberia”, R-258 “Baikal”, R-280 “Novorossiya”, R-504 “Kolyma”, A-121 “Sortavala”, A-181 “Scandinavia”, A-370 “Ussuri”.
The funding volume for the planned activities will amount to 9.2 trillion rubles.
“The Ministry of Transport must strictly monitor the expenditure of funds, the progress of work and the deadlines for their completion. After all, the accuracy of logistics and the comfort of citizens’ movement directly depend on this. And most importantly, it affects the safety of pedestrians and drivers, their lives and health,” Mikhail Mishustin noted at a government meeting on April 2.
As a result of the plan’s implementation, the share of federal highways, backbone roads and roads of the largest urban agglomerations that are in good condition should increase to 85%, and roads of regional or inter-municipal significance – to 60%.
“Approval of the road activity plan is a very important stage. It determines how we will work and develop the road framework of our country in the coming years. I would like to note that we have applied six-year planning for the first time. This will allow us to synchronize all the tasks that we face within the framework of the national project “Infrastructure for Life” until 2030 with the forecast until 2036, to tie everything into a single mechanism. The road plan is necessary for a broad understanding of the entire situation and comprehensive work. People do not care who is responsible for the road – federal, regional or municipal, but it is important to quickly and safely get there on good roads, without thinking about who they belong to,” said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
The document will be published.
