President Vladimir Putin recently chaired a video conference with the government to discuss road development plans for the next five years. This meeting coincided with the professional holidays of road workers and transport industry workers. The highlight of the discussion was the approval of a six-year road activity plan, aiming to significantly boost the country's road news.

The ambitious plan includes projects at federal, regional, and municipal levels. By the end of this year, at least 28,000 kilometers of roads are set to be commissioned, marking a significant increase of 4,000 kilometers compared to last year. Among the key projects, the M-12 'Vostok' highway will be extended by over 300 kilometers in the coming year.

During the meeting, President Putin remotely inaugurated three new infrastructure facilities. These include a section of the A-215 highway in Karelia, a bypass around the village of Sokuры in Tatarstan, and the southern bypass of Surgut with a bridge over the Ob. The leader praised the efforts of road workers and transport industry professionals, highlighting their crucial role in the country's development.

The approved six-year road activity plan signals a substantial investment in the country's road news infrastructure. With at least 28,000 kilometers of new roads planned for commissioning by the end of the year, the country is set to see a significant improvement in its road network. The extension of the M-12 'Vostok' highway and the inauguration of new infrastructure facilities further underscore the government's commitment to enhancing connectivity and facilitating economic growth.
