By 2030, 85% of federal roads will be brought up to standard condition.

The new six-year plan for the development of the road network involves bringing 85% of federal highways and support roads to a standard state. This was announced on March 28 by Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Marat Khusnullin at the final board of the Ministry of Transport.

Currently, 55% of all 500 thousand km of roads are in good condition.

"We will sign the plan today or tomorrow," he said.

The upcoming six-year plan will determine the development of not only roads, but also key settlements. These are small and medium-sized cities, as well as large agglomerations. The quality of life in them should rise by 30% by 2030, and by 60% by 2036, Khusnullin noted.

According to the results of the new six-year plan, the government plans to bring 60% of regional roads to a standard condition within the framework of the national project "Infrastructure for Life". At the same time, North-South and West-East transport routes will be developed. Detours will be built near 50 major cities. 9.2 trillion rubles have been allocated for all these purposes.
