Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin opened several infrastructure facilities in the Smolensk region, the Udmurt Republic, and the Chuvash Republic, and also launched a tunnel boring machine for the construction of a metro tram in Chelyabinsk.
"This year, the national project 'Infrastructure for Life' has become our main focus for the next six years. Looking back on the year, we see that the construction industry is delivering impressive results. New road, transport, social, and utility infrastructure projects are being built in all regions. All of these projects are designed to create comfortable living conditions in the regions. The main goal is to ensure that people experience these positive changes. Today's projects represent only a small part of what is being done nationwide. However, they are nonetheless crucial for the development of specific regions and improving the quality of life for citizens. Today, we began drilling the first tunnel for the metro tram in the Chelyabinsk Region, a project being implemented at the direction of the President. In addition, we opened a new road overpass over railway tracks in the city of Vyazma in the Smolensk Region, a renovated bridge over the Lyp River in the Kezsky District of the Udmurt Republic, and completed the construction of a large kindergarten in the Chuvash Republic. Many thanks to everyone who participated in the implementation of these projects, including the regional teams, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Transport, "To the Territorial Development Fund. Today's event is a shared achievement, the result of coordinated work," said Marat Khusnullin.
For example, in the Smolensk region, a new road overpass over the railway tracks in the city of Vyazma has opened to traffic. It was built quickly to replace an old overpass. It carries 16,000 vehicles per day. It is a vital artery connecting the city center with residential areas. This project will significantly improve accessibility for local residents and further stimulate improvements in road transportation in the region.
"Today, we are not only witnessing but also participating in a crucial event in the life of our region. The decision by the Russian Government to allocate funds for the construction played a decisive role in ensuring that the new facility was built in the shortest possible time. The residents of Vyazma and Smolensk express their deepest gratitude to Marat Shakirzyanovich personally for his support. Without it, it would have been extremely difficult for the region to cope with this colossal task alone, using only its own resources. I once again sincerely thank the road workers, communications workers, gas workers, medical personnel, Russian Railways employees, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and volunteers—everyone who worked on the new overpass construction site," noted Smolensk Region Governor Vasily Anokhin.
The first metro tram tunnel excavation has begun in the Chelyabinsk region. Infrastructure loans were used to finance the construction of the over 9-kilometer North-South line.
"Today is a very important day for the entire Chelyabinsk region – we are launching a key stage of our comprehensive Chelyabinsk metrotram infrastructure project: we are beginning the excavation of horizontal tunnels. We are creating the transport framework of the Chelyabinsk agglomeration for decades to come," emphasized Chelyabinsk Region Governor Alexey Teksler.
A 7,500-square-meter kindergarten has been completed in the Chuvash Republic. It was built in the "Novy Gorod" residential area of Cheboksary, also using a budget infrastructure loan. The new kindergarten will feature a gym, a music room, a sensory room, water and sand rooms, a culinary and craft workshop, a petting zoo, and other special spaces.
"Thank you, President Vladimir Putin. Despite all the difficulties, we managed to maintain the budget and formulate plans for the next three to five years. Therefore, our goal is to implement everything we have planned. Thank you to Prime Minister Mikhail Vladimirovich—we are in constant communication with him. Thank you to everyone who worked on this project. You demonstrated the highest level of professionalism and provided an excellent pre-New Year's gift for our residents. New projects and tasks lie ahead as part of the national project 'Infrastructure for Life.' The well-being of our citizens and the development of the country's economy largely depend on the results of your work. Therefore, we must not relax. Only forward, to new victories," said Oleg Nikolaev, Head of the Chuvash Republic.
A renovated bridge over the Lyp River in the Kezsky District of the Udmurt Republic has opened to traffic. The reconstruction has increased capacity, lifted load restrictions, improved traffic safety, and improved transportation for local residents.
"The reconstruction of the bridge across the Lyp is an important project for all of Udmurtia. It's about the safety of our children—two school routes cross the bridge. It's also about economic development. The region has strong agricultural enterprises. They desperately need the bridge to transport animal feed and deliver milk to processors. Udmurtia ranks fourth in the country for milk production. It also supports domestic tourism. A route to one of our ethno-resorts runs through here. This year, 3,000 tourists visited it. We're confident there will be even more," noted Roman Efimov, Chairman of the Government of the Udmurt Republic.
