Thanks to the national project "Infrastructure for Life", work continues on upgrading roads leading to stadiums, clubs, youth schools and other sports facilities. In total, this year it is planned to upgrade about 700 km of such sections of regional and local roads, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.

"Updating roads to sports facilities is an important part of creating a comfortable environment. This helps ensure convenient and unimpeded access to sports facilities for thousands of residents. First of all, this is important for popularizing a healthy lifestyle. Thanks to the national project "Infrastructure for Life", in 2025 we plan to bring 225 sections of the regional and local road network leading to stadiums, clubs, children's and youth schools and other sports facilities to a regulatory state – this is 695 km of regional and local roads," said Marat Khusnullin.

Sporting events often attract large crowds. Good road conditions ensure safe traffic and pedestrian traffic, and reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.

"In 2024 alone, 270 road sections were updated under the already completed national project "Safe High-Quality Roads". Their total length was more than 800 km. Sports facilities are visited by people of all ages, including children. Therefore, we pay special attention to safety elements: we equip the necessary signs, traffic lights, sidewalks and pedestrian crossings," said Minister of Transport Andrei Nikitin.

In Bryansk, Menzhinsky Street is undergoing a major overhaul along its entire length – 2.3 km. This is the route to the Spartak stadium, which was renovated in 2020. The stadium is home to a sports school of the same name, where more than 200 young football players study. The road surface is being renovated, sidewalks and storm drains are being installed at the site. To ensure traffic safety, a pedestrian fence, outdoor electric lighting lines, speed bumps, bus stops, public transport access pockets and a new bus shelter will be installed, as well as new road signs, paint and thermoplastic markings with reflective elements.

In the Bolsheglushitsky District of the Samara Region, a 1.4 km section of the access road to the village of Bolshaya Glushitsa is being overhauled. The road leads to the Yubileiny sports complex, which houses a structural division of the children's and youth sports school based at Secondary Comprehensive School No. 2. There are 10 sports sections here. The school is attended by more than 150 children aged 5 to 18.

Another significant "sports" route that is being repaired under the national project is a 9.2 km section of the Moscow Highway in Samara. This is part of the route to the Olympic Reserve Sports School No. 7 for Cycling named after Honored Coach of the USSR V.P. Petrov. More than 370 athletes undergo basic training here.

The road to the sports facility is also being renovated in the Bogatovsky District. A section of the Bogatoye – Samara – Orenburg highway, almost 10 km long, is being repaired here. The highway leads to the district center – the village of Bogatoye. A children's and youth sports school is located here on the basis of a secondary comprehensive school. 550 children are involved in sections in several areas: football, volleyball and judo. In addition to local children, the school is attended by children from nearby villages, including Andreyevka and Vilovatoye.

In total, 10 road facilities leading to 25 sports facilities, with a total length of 80.87 km, will be renovated in the Samara Region under the national project “Infrastructure for Life” this year.

In Krasnoyarsk, a 3.3 km section of Partizana Zheleznyaka Street is being repaired this year under the national project "Infrastructure for Life". The street leads to the Sokol Ice Palace.
