The Russia, Don, Caspian, Ural, Kholmogory, Baltic, Volga Highways will be rebuilt under the plan. The inner and outer ring roads around capital Moscow will also be rebuilt according to the plan. The aim is to upgrade the country’s key links, including highways linking major cities.

Work on the 265m long bridge, due for completion in the third quarter of 2013, will allow a 40m height clearance for vessels navigating the river, and construction is being handled by Russian contractor 2964 Mostostroy No6.

And over €71.8 million is being budgeted for a new interchange in St Petersburg, which involves an upgrade to the Pirogovskaya Embankment at the interchange ramp for the Sampsonievsky Bridge. It will double capacity to 8,730 vehicles/hour.
