Putin noted the influence of road workers on the development of the regions of the Russian Federation

The development of all regions of Russia depends on the work of road workers and veterans. This was announced on October 19 by Russian President Vladimir Putin in congratulating road workers on their professional holiday.

"The quality of people's lives and the development of all regions of Russia directly depend on you and your creative work," the Kremlin said in a statement on its website.

According to Putin, in difficult, sometimes extreme conditions, they build highways and overpasses, bridges and tunnels, and also provide "safe and reliable" communication between cities and towns of the Russian Federation.

He specified that in recent years the domestic road complex "has been on the rise." Putin stressed that this was made possible thanks to "competent management decisions and the widespread introduction of modern technologies and materials."

This helps to build and repair hundreds of kilometers of federal, regional and local highways, create large logistics hubs and transport corridors, modernize the industry's infrastructure, and bring public-private partnerships to a new level, the head of state added.

"I am convinced that you will continue to work diligently and achieve your goals for the benefit of the Motherland and our people," he concluded.

The way is healthy: capsules for "self-repair" will extend the service life of roads by a third

How will the development reduce the cost of operating highways and can it improve traffic safety

On October 15, Putin noted the high rate of renovation of the road infrastructure in the Russian Federation and stressed that it was important to preserve it. The Russian leader stressed that by 2030, at least 85% of federal highways in the country must comply with established standards.
