Thanks to the national project "Infrastructure for Life", sections of regional and local roads are being brought into compliance with the regulations – approaches to villages, settlements, hamlets, etc. In 2025, it is planned to renew 520 approaches to small settlements with a total length of over 3 thousand km. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
"Convenient road access to small settlements directly affects the quality of life. Such roads improve the availability of medical care, education, jobs and shops, stimulate the development of local business and agriculture, and improve social ties. High-quality routes contribute to the influx of tourists, investment and new opportunities, which ultimately helps maintain the population and stop the outflow of young people to large cities. In 2025, under the national project "Infrastructure for Life", we plan to put in order 520 access roads to villages, settlements, hamlets and small towns – this is over 3 thousand km of the regional and local road network," said Marat Khusnullin.
Transport Minister Andrey Nikitin noted that the development of roads in rural areas is one of the key areas of work for road workers. According to data as of the end of 2024, the length of public roads of local importance passing through rural areas is 776.1 thousand km, of which 406.7 thousand km are paved. "To ensure sustainable growth of the country's agricultural sector and improve the quality of life of people in rural areas, the state program "Integrated Development of Rural Areas" is being implemented in Russia. Thanks to it, in 2025 about 338 km of roads providing access to settlements and agricultural enterprises will be brought up to standard," said Andrey Nikitin.
Thus, in the Tula region, a section of the Tula-Belev highway – access to the settlement of Dubna has been repaired. The road provides access to the Mosolov estate with a park, the Church of Peter and Paul, as well as to the site of the annual festival "Orthodox Dubna", which attracts many guests.
On a 3 km long section, the asphalt concrete surface has already been completely replaced, the shoulders have been reinforced with crushed stone, and the exits, stops and landing areas have been restored. In parallel, road works are being carried out in the village itself under the national project. The length of the sections being repaired is over 2 km.
In the Republic of Mari El, an access road to the village of Markelovo was put into operation after repairs. The length of the facility is 2.5 km. The road leads to socially significant facilities located in the administrative center of the Novotoryalsky District. In total, 14 such facilities with a total length of 97.5 km will be renovated in the region under the national project.
In the Samara Region this year, about 160 km of roads will be put into operation, connecting small settlements with regional centers and key highways. In total, 15 sections leading to 25 villages and hamlets will be updated.
For example, in Krasnoarmeysky District, 5.4 km of the Samara-Volgograd-Pestravka-Leninsky-Kochetkovsky-Butkovsky highway are undergoing major repairs. This is the only route connecting the settlements of Butkovsky and Sofinsky with the regional road network. In addition, this is the route to the main social facilities of the rural settlement of Leninsky, to which these settlements belong. It is also part of the school route.
In the Susaninsky District of the Kostroma Region, a 3.2 km long access road to the village of Medvedki is being brought up to standard. The road connects the settlement with the regional highway Kostroma – Susanino – Buy and allows residents to get to the district and regional centers. The school bus route also passes through here. In addition, the access road provides transport accessibility to the tourist site located in Medvedki – the oldest stud farm, which was founded in 1891 by the merchant Skalozubov.
