Dear colleagues! Dear friends!
Congratulations on Road Workers Day!
The road sector is one of the systemic pillars of national development. Its efficient operation determines the pace of economic growth and opportunities for spatial development. This directly contributes to improving the quality of life of our citizens.
Russian road workers are confidently addressing the challenges of developing and constructing the country's road network. Road infrastructure renovation has accelerated in recent years. By 2030, Russia plans to build and reconstruct over 3,700 km of highways. By the end of 2030, at least 60% of regional roads should be in good condition, while federal highways, roads in major metropolitan areas, and the backbone network should reach 85%. More than 50 new bypasses are planned for cities and large population centers.
The development of road infrastructure is driving sustainable growth in population and freight mobility, creating additional opportunities to unlock our country's investment and tourism potential.
The implementation of measures to develop the road network will also contribute to the fulfillment of the Russian President's directive to achieve growth rates of at least 1.5 times the 2021 level for the volume of transportation along international transport corridors by 2030.
I would like to highlight the road industry's achievements in digitalization. Digital twins of routes are being created, and services using AI technologies are being implemented. Russia has successfully implemented the first driverless cargo route, covering over 1,000 km, along the M-11 "Neva" and A-113 "Central Ring Road" highways. Major tasks lie ahead in expanding the geographic scope of highly automated vehicles, as well as developing and deploying Level 5 automated transport systems.
A special thank you to the veterans of the road industry. You have laid a solid foundation upon which the construction of Russia's modern road network continues. Your dedication and experience are an example for future generations of workers.
Once again, I congratulate all road workers on this holiday. I wish you and your families good health, prosperity, and continued success in your work!
V. Saveliev
