Russia intends to follow the “Chinese path” and attract huge investments in infrastructure development projects [/ url]. The Ministry of Economic Development recently sent a plan to the government, which says which projects can be implemented in the foreseeable future.

690 objects were included in this plan. The authors of some proposals were federal departments, while others were submitted by regional authorities (31 subjects of the Russian Federation).



155 objects relate to air transport. This is the construction of new small airports and the reconstruction of existing ones. Another 296 objects relate to highways. It is necessary to repair old roads and build new ones, which will require more than a trillion rubles.

One of the major projects is the construction of a bridge across the Lena River. Such a bridge would lead to the creation of a large logistics center near Yakutsk and an increase in cargo transportation by three times. So far, the plan of the Ministry of Economic Development has not said anything about another important project - the construction of a bridge leading to Sakhalin. Perhaps he will go into the next plan, because it is still necessary to prepare technicaleconomic rationale.

98 planned facilities relate to the development of maritime infrastructure, another 104 - railway. In particular, these are the high-speed highways Moscow-Kazan, Yekaterinburg-Chelyabinsk, Krasnodar-Grozny-Makhachkala. And the Kyzyl-Kuragino railway line included in the plan will become the first railway in the Republic of Tuva and will connect it with the Krasnoyarsk Territory. If this line is built, it will be possible to transport coal to the port of Vanino and six thousand jobs will be created.

In total, about seven trillion rubles will be needed to implement these projects.
