Vice Governor of St.Petersburg Sergey Kozyrev has reported that an agreement with the 6442 Vozrozhdenie group of companies on construction of the northern section of the Western High-Speed Diameter (WHSD) can be annulled after a failure to complete the works on time.

Another subcontractor is reported to be likely to complete construction of the multi-million dollar toll highway project in St Petersburg. Vozrozhdenie says delays were caused by non-payment for works already implemented. According to Vozrozhdenie, the authorities must address their claims to Mostootryad-19, the project’s primary contractor. The latter won a tender for construction worth US $ 446.19 million (RUB 14bn). Mostootryad-19's debt to Vozrozhdenie is reported to have reached $ 20.33 million (RUB 640mn).
