In a number of regions, road works under the federal project "Regional and Local Road Network" of the national project "Infrastructure for Life" have reached the equator. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
"In recent years, roads in Russia have been renovated at an accelerated pace. International corridors, expressways, regional and municipal roads are being built, connecting people and accelerating the country's development. The national project "Infrastructure for Life" is responsible for the comprehensive renovation of the road network. Since the beginning of the current road season, the laying of the upper layers of road surfaces in 50 regions of the country under the national project has been completed by more than 50%. The largest volume of work – more than 80% – has been completed in six subjects of the Russian Federation: Sevastopol, St. Petersburg, Belgorod, Penza, Voronezh regions and the Republic of Mari El," said Marat Khusnullin.
In 2025, in accordance with all road activity programs, in order to achieve the indicators of the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, it is planned to repair, reconstruct and build more than 21.1 thousand km of regional and local roads.
"High-quality modern road surfaces are essential for traffic safety and increased comfort for drivers and pedestrians. In 2025, it is planned to renew 152.5 million square meters of asphalt concrete pavement on regional and local roads. To date, about 66 million square meters of top layers of pavement have been installed," said Transport Minister Andrey Nikitin.
Achieving these results was made possible by significant federal support.
"Financing of road activities is an important tool for ensuring sustainable development of transport infrastructure, improving the quality of life of the population and stimulating economic growth in the regions. Thus, this year, over 601 billion rubles have been allocated for the implementation of the activities of the federal project "Regional and Local Road Network", of which about 337 billion rubles are federal budget funds," emphasized Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency Igor Kostyuchenko.
Thus, in the Penza region, as of the beginning of August 2025, the activities for the installation of asphalt concrete pavement at the national project sites have been completed by 94% of the planned volume. This is 216.2 km of the road network, of which 58.6 km have already been put into operation. In particular, the reconstruction of the bridge over the Shuksha River has been completed, a 6-kilometer section of the Shemysheika – Naskaftym – Novy Machim highway has been repaired, and a section of the Poim – Bashmakovo – Zemetchino highway (7.1 km) has been put into operation. The road is part of the backbone network of the Penza region and connects the Belinsky, Bashmakovsky and Zemetchinsky districts.
The volume of work completed on laying the upper layers of road surfaces in the Mari El Republic has reached 87.4%, which is 533.7 thousand square meters out of the planned 610 thousand square meters. Road works have been completed on one of the longest sites in the region, the Vizim'yary-Yuksary highway. The road leads to socially significant facilities, including the Vizim'yary and Yuksary schools, the district hospital and FAP, as well as kindergartens. In addition, the highway provides access to the federal highway R-177 "Povetluzh'ye". The entire volume of work has been completed on three sites of the street and road network of Yoshkar-Ola: two sections along Leninsky Prospekt and a section on Druzhby Street have been repaired.
In the Kemerovo Region – Kuzbass, 70 km of roads are planned to be repaired under the national project this year. Work has been completed at six sites, with three sections on the regional highways Tomsk – Mariinsk, Altai – Kuzbass, Anzhero-Sudzhensk – Yaya already commissioned. A section of the Tomsk – Mariinsk highway located in the village of Tyumenevo has also been overhauled. In the village of Verkh-Taymenka, on a 10-kilometer section of the regional highway Novosibirsk – Leninsk-Kuznetsky – Kemerovo – Yurga, specialists have updated the road surface, arranged sidewalks and installed 8 bus stops.
