An updated road development plan through 2031 has been approved. This is the key operational planning document for the road sector, encompassing all activities and funding sources to achieve the "Infrastructure for Life" national project targets.
"The six-year plan is a proven, flexible road financing mechanism that has enabled us to align road construction with spatial development objectives and improve the efficiency of budgetary funds. The updated six-year plan details 215 federal road construction projects and 116 regional ones. It also includes large-scale investment projects, which include another 94 promising federal projects and 37 regional ones. The implementation of the six-year plan will help achieve the targets of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project, ensure the quality of federal, regional, and metropolitan roads, and improve transport connectivity and the quality of the living environment, including in 2,160 key settlements. In recent years, motorization has increased by 12%, and traffic volume on federal highways has increased by 60%. High-quality roads have impacted freight traffic, which has increased by 11% along the West-East, North-South, and Europe-Western China international corridors," said Marat Khusnullin.
The Deputy Prime Minister added that key projects include the M-12 "Vostok" highway, which will be extended to Tyumen this year, and construction of a bypass around the city will begin. Additionally, bypasses are under construction around Derbent and Khasavyurt in Dagestan, Adler in the Krasnodar Krai as part of the M-4 "Don" – Sochi highway project, a southern bypass around Saratov, a bypass around Oryol, a southern bypass around Ryazan, and an access road to the Manzherok resort in the Altai Republic. Plans are underway to expand the Chuysky Trakt highway in the Novosibirsk region with access to China. Design work on bypasses around Makhachkala, Astrakhan, and Orenburg is nearing completion. Construction of the northern bypass around Omsk continues as part of a regional concession, a high-speed section bypassing several settlements on the approach to Vladivostok is underway, and large-scale reconstruction of the M-4 "Don" highway in the Rostov region is underway. Almost 100 km of the highway will be converted to six lanes. The main work is scheduled to be completed this year.
"Among the largest road construction projects, which are creating new, high-quality infrastructure and providing a significant boost to the development of adjacent territories, is the Azov Ring Road, a route around the sea. Work is already underway in the Rostov Region and the Donetsk People's Republic, and a bypass around Mariupol is being built. Also planned are the expansion of sections from Simferopol to Dzhankoy in Crimea and from Mariupol to Berdyansk in the Zaporizhzhia Region. Today, the land corridor to Crimea through the reunified regions is the main channel for delivering goods to the peninsula. Furthermore, work continues on the design and construction of the high-speed bypass around St. Petersburg (KAD-2), as well as the Primorsky Ring Road in the Kaliningrad Region. Sections of the route already completed connect the regional capital with the airport and resorts in Svetlogorsk and Zelenogradsk. By 2030, we will complete the ring road and provide key tourist destinations with access via the expressway," added Marat Khusnullin.
Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed an order approving an updated road development plan through the end of 2031.
