To achieve the stated goals, the president of the country proposed to use modern materials and equipment, mainly of Russian production, in the construction of roads. And with the last point, problems can arise, because previously contractors preferred to use the German brand Bomag asphalt pavers, which have now become “sanctioned”.
In addition, Vladimir Putin is sure that highway builders should introduce new technologies, materials and solutions as actively as possible, and for this they need to involve domestic scientific organizations.
It is all the more surprising that the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation has proposed to cut budget expenditure by 1.6 trillion. rubles, including the cut of the state program “Development of the transport system”, which can lose 390 billion (minus 130 billion per year).
However, experts believe it is too early to draw conclusions, and all major discussions and redistribution of expenditure items will take place when the project is considered by Russian government officials.
