Order No. 599-r of March 24, 2026
By the end of 2031, Russia plans to build and reconstruct over 2,000 kilometers of federal and regional roads as part of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project. These targets are included in the updated list of road maintenance activities for 2026–2031. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the order approving it.
The updated plan provides for continued construction and reconstruction of the highways that make up the core network. These include the M-2 "Crimea," M-7 "Volga," M-8 "Kholmogory," M-9 "Baltia," R-21 "Kola," R-22 "Caspian," R-217 "Caucasus," R-255 "Siberia," R-258 "Baikal," R-280 "Novorossiya," A-121 "Sortavala," A-181 "Scandinavia," and A-370 "Ussuri." Plans also include the implementation of road construction projects included in the master plans for the development of cities in the Far Eastern Federal District and the Arctic zone, as well as the restoration of roads in new regions.
In addition, the list includes new measures on federal highways, including the construction of bypasses around the cities of Orenburg, Slyudyanka, and Baikalsk, the reconstruction of sections of the M-5 "Ural," R-254 "Irtysh," and R-504 "Kolyma," and comprehensive improvements.
Projects on regional, inter-municipal, and local roads have also been added, including the construction and reconstruction of roads bypassing populated areas, the creation of tourist infrastructure, and the development of the road network of urban agglomerations.
In addition, the plan provides funding for bringing federal and regional highways up to standard.
The total volume of federal funding for the events will amount to 9.1 trillion rubles.
