how we will plan work in terms of financial management, in terms of the workload of contractors, in terms of the production of building materials, the purchase of equipment, therefore, here this is planning. she is definitely needed. this is somehow such an antisational measure - this is the second time. here in our country is approximately now one million 600 km. there are about millions of roads, these are municipal roads, about 500 550.000 are regional roads. yes, and in order. there six months - these are federal roads. and so, since these roads were financed from different levels of the budget. unfortunately, they were not completely interconnected, but each, based on the possibilities , has money for this year, but they did some part of the road, there is money for 2 years, they made the second part of the road. and now we have this five-year program. we are making a connected network road. that is, we we set ourselves the task of 105 agglomerations, where a

large number of the population lives, to bring standard roads to 85%, that is, the city and everything around the agglomeration this is a development program, a housing program for the development of production forces is connected with this. this is the first block of questions; the second block of questions is all regional roads that connect settlements at the regional level. it means to bring it to a state of at least 50% in a motivated state, and we see that under this program we will already have everything in the twenty-fourth year such roads. this means that the third block of questions has been brought to the normative state - this is the backbone network. last year we worked out the backbone network - this is 138,000 km of main roads - this is the federal regional road, on which the largest flow of cargo vehicles and passenger movements moves. here they are also brought to the normative state and all this is linked. that is, if we link all this, then the residents will really feel that there is a

connection, there are good roads, it has become faster to travel, people will understand when by what time which road will be made and thanks to the approval. yesterday, literally next week , the president approved the program and we will work by linking all levels of the budget. if we talk about some specific indicators, then what is planned to be achieved before 127, what to do? well, for example, how many kilometers of roads? to build and reconstruct in the regions, this means that we will build more than 4,000 km - these are new roads. this is from 4-6 more bands. this is a new road. this means that we are reconstructing more than 3,000 km - we will bring this from two to four lanes. well, for example, many in the regions know that especially weekends are further, what is there in the regions of moscow here with us look at the weekend at the dacha there are always traffic jams, and on sunday back for this, too, traffic jams, because there is not enough road capacity. eh, and also on

this one. we are about 3.200 km, where there is not enough bandwidth. we expanded from two to four lanes. that is, this is also a definite plus for increasing traffic on the roads, one of the largest projects is the west-east project, once, moscow kazan at what stage is the construction now and when is it planned to complete it, so, in the program that i spoke with us, in addition to the construction of road expansion. we have more like. a separate program is our transnational corridors. well, west-east is such a transnational corridor. we counted on it for northern europe and for central europe it starts from st. petersburg goes to moscow, this m-1c road has been built and we have to bypass tver for 24 years and finish. uh, moscow nizhny novgorod-kazan. so we took this road last year, it is 811 km. and we plan to finish the main course in 23.

moreover, i told the president yesterday that even this year, we want to complete the detour of vladimir along this highway and we want a tense section from the ramp to the concrete road. this means that the moscow region will be launched this year, but we have never worked at such a pace before, so that in 3.5 years of such a level we will build a road further . we are already building it to yekaterinburg we are building, we are preparing the territory for the design of off-grids , and this year we will expand from yekaterinburg to chelyabinsk, we will completely make a four-lane already like this with city entrances up to 6-8 lanes and we have begun construction to tyumen, this is the first stage of this road, and in the five-year plan, we are generally looking further through the passage already to omsk novosibirsk, it means that gorno-altaisk is an exit from ulan-ude to chita and an exit to china an exit to china and mongolia but we will also do it in stages. this means that at first

we will make detours of cities and as they load. uh, traffic, we will expand the roads. in general, i would like to say that we have a plan for the five-year plan, which clearly includes all the facilities that we are committed to building in the future. we still see the prospect until 1930, for example, this west-east road. it is planned until 1930. here in this volume is the summer theme in russian grass tourists. the season is how things are with automobile routes in the south of russia. that is, how will the quality of roads be controlled ? on the same m4 don highway, we have the main route, of course, the m4 don on the main part has already been done, there are a number of sections that we are doing a very serious repair this year. yes, there are about 50 km. and one of these traffic jams is the bypass of aksai in the rostov region. and so we make a detour around aksai because in this place there is really a lot of traffic going through the settlement and the residents are unhappy. the speed is slow.
