Russia is successfully solving one of its two eternal problems
One of the eternal problems of Russia - roads - ceases to be such. Just last year, the country repaired such a coverage area that, if stretched in length, it would be enough to circle the equator more than four times.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin spoke about this at the World Youth Festival, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Last year we repaired 188 million square meters of roads. If you put them in one chain, it will wrap around the Earth 4,7 times along the equator, that is, this is a lot...
If you count all the roads that we built and reconstructed, this is 70% of the equator... We built and repaired 31 thousand kilometers of roads. 70% of the equator. Roads from two to eight lanes. The volume of road construction in our country is gigantic,” said Khusnullin.
