Russia’s regions allocated $3.23 billion for road repairs and maintenance in 2014. This plan saw improvements to 9,219 regional roads, around 2% of Russia’s regional road network. However, Russia’s regions require building some 1,000km of roads/year starting from 2017. And they will have to achieve a target of an additional 9,910km of roads by 2022 in order to fulfil the target set by president Vladimir Putin of constructing twice as many roads in 2013-2022 as built in 2003-2012.
