As reported on April 9, the government of the Russian Federation published a new version of the program of activities of the state-owned Avtodor company for the period from 2026 to 2030. It follows from the document that the total amount of financing for the construction and reconstruction of roads has been increased from 832 billion rubles to 1.05 trillion rubles. Thus, the amount of allocated funds will increase by 173 billion rubles.

In January, the head of Avtodor, Vyacheslav Petushenko, said that by the end of 2025, the toll collection amounted to 140 billion rubles. The number of passes through Avtodor's toll highway network in 2025 amounted to 397 million, which is higher than in 2024, when 379 million passes were recorded.
