During the 2025 Transport Week events, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin presented awards to the best regional road teams. This year, awards were given to 10 regions that achieved high performance in implementing the road component of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project.
"Last year, we completed the 'Safe, High-Quality Roads' national project with good results. This year, as part of the 'Infrastructure for Life' national project, we're ahead of schedule in paving. We also continue to implement large-scale projects such as the 'North-South' and 'West-East' international corridors, and the Azov Transport Ring. We're also making good progress in the regions, including the reunified ones. We've signed memoranda with all regions on road network development, so we have a plan for the next six years. It's important to maintain momentum. It's become a tradition for many regions to receive 'golden rollers' awards year after year for their systematic work. This demonstrates that roads are truly improving. Today also marks Transport Workers' Day. I'd like to point out that your responsible and essential work ensures comfortable and safe travel for people, improves the country's transport connectivity, and drives economic growth," the Deputy Prime Minister said.
Ten regions received symbolic golden skating rinks for the best achievements in the road component of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project: Amur, Belgorod, Vologda, Lipetsk, Penza, Ryazan, and Saratov Oblasts, the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, the Republic of Adygea, and the Chechen Republic. The Deputy Prime Minister noted that this is the first skating rink for the Vologda Oblast, while this is the fourth award for the Belgorod Oblast, the third for the Republic of Adygea, and the fifth for the Chechen Republic.
Also, 12 regions received awards in individual nominations.
The Kaluga and Tula regions, as well as the Krasnoyarsk Territory, were awarded diplomas for their progress in implementing the national project's activities.
Teams from Sevastopol, the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra, and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug were awarded diplomas for their high-quality performance in implementing national project projects.
Commemorative diplomas for high levels of financial discipline within the framework of the national project were awarded to the Kostroma Region, the Republic of Ingushetia, and the Republic of Karelia.
The Bryansk and Tomsk regions and the Republic of Dagestan also received diplomas for their effective work in providing information support for the national project "Infrastructure for Life."
Marat Khusnullin also spoke at the forum's plenary discussion, "Transport Infrastructure: Balancing Public and Private Interests," which featured Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. The Deputy Prime Minister noted that, despite the challenges, the country's road sector is actively developing. The national project "Infrastructure for Life," launched this year, is also exceeding its targets.
"I would like to thank the President and the Prime Minister for their attention to the industry. Thanks to their support, we have budgetary funds for its development. They have also set up advanced financing. This will allow us not only to meet but also exceed our road construction plans this year, building 4,000 km more than last year," emphasized Marat Khusnullin.
He also drew the attention of the discussion participants to the need to continue efforts to shorten the investment and construction cycle, implement new technologies, increase labor productivity, and attract extra-budgetary investment to the industry.
