Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev is pleased with the pace that is undergoing road construction. Speaking in the State Duma with a report of the government for 2012., The prime minister noted that the road funds created are one of the methods of reforming the financing system of road facilities. About 440 billion rubles from the federal budget were allocated for these purposes in 2012. Regional road funds reached 590 billion rubles, which is 3 times more than in 2010. Since 2014, it is planned to create municipal road funds, which will be reflected in the amendments to the Budget Code.
According to Medvedev, the future of the transport complex is to create conditions for attracting investment funds. From concession agreements and contracts of the full life cycle, the prime minister noted the western high-speed diameter, which is built in St. Petersburg, traveling from the Minsk highway to the Moscow Ring Road and a high-speed highway between the two capitals. According to Medvedev, such projects should not be something exotic.
