Planning is underway for the highway connecting Moscow with Kazan, via Nizhny Novgorod. The tendering process will commence in 2020, with construction then expected to commence in either late 2020 or early 2021. A budget for the project has been set by Russia’s state-owned road company, 3974 Avtodor. The initial plans called for the highway covering the 742km between Moscow and Kazan to be complete by 2024.

    The Scottish city of Aberdeen is to benefit from a new 45km bypass. The project is expected to cost €442.5 million and will provide a route around the city and tackle heavy traffic congestion on existing roads.

The new bypass will reduce congestion and improve safety but is likely to be completed well after 2012 as was
