April 12 is Cosmonautics Day, a holiday established in honor of the first human space flight, made by Yuri Gagarin in 1961.
In 2025, thanks to the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, about 20 km of streets, avenues and boulevards named after cosmonauts, designers or scientists who made a great contribution to the development of domestic cosmonautics will be brought up to standard. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
“The Russian rocket and space industry plays an important role in ensuring national security and strengthening the country’s defense potential. On the eve of Cosmonautics Day, it is worth noting that cities across the country pay tribute to the memory of outstanding figures in the space industry – cosmonauts, designers, scientists, including immortalized in the names of streets throughout Russia. Thanks to the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads”, over the past six years, the road surface of more than 180 street sections named in honor of the conquerors of space has already been updated. This year, we plan to bring 15 objects with a total length of about 20 km into compliance with the new national project “Infrastructure for Life”, – said Marat Khusnullin.
Thus, in Novomoskovsk, Tula Region, a section of Kosmonavtov Street is planned for repair, where new bus stops and road signs will be installed, markings will be applied, and the adjacent territory will be improved. The street was built at the time when the era of space exploration began in the country.
This year, a street named after the first cosmonaut of the planet, Yuri Gagarin, will be repaired in Yaroslavl over a 3 km long section.
In Dolgoprudny, Moscow Region, 1.8 km of asphalt concrete pavement will be renewed on the avenue named after Viktor Ivanovich Patsayev, a Soviet pilot-cosmonaut and research engineer for the Soyuz-11 spacecraft.
One of the central roads of Dmitrov, Kosmonavtov Street, will also be repaired. Here, specialists will lay 1.5 km of new road surface for comfortable travel for motorists to schools, kindergartens, a hospital, parks and stadiums, as well as to the main attraction, the Dmitrov Kremlin.
