Meanwhile the Turkish contractor 3340 Makyol has dropped out of the consortium working on a section of Moscow’s Central Ring Road 4 (CRR 4) project. The consortium also included the Russian Direct Investment Fund and the Russian road construction firm 6119 AVTOBAN. In all this stretch of the project is costing some $1.38 billion, with the costs split between the investors and the Russian Government. It remains to be seen how the consortium will be reconfigured to carry out the project.
