7,5 billion rbl. are allocated for federal highways reconstruction in Bashkiria

7,5 billion rbl. will be allocated for reconstruction of federal highways in the territory of Bashkortostan in 2013. The head of department of the Samara – Ufa – Chelyabinsk highway Radmir Vagapov informed about it at the press conference in Bashinform News Agency on Tuesday. In 2011 it was allocated 3,7 billion rbl for these purposes.

In connection with the forthcoming events of 2015 – the SCO and BRICS Summits – road builders expect changes in the Federal Target-Oriented Investment Program with inclusion of additional objects of reconstruction into it.

This year road builders plan to start reconstruction of access road to Ufa from the М-5 federal highway.

In 2013 repair of Ufa – Orenburg highway in the part from an interchange near Ufa Airport to an interchange in Beloretsk direction will be started. There road builders will apply state-of-the-art material – macadam-mastic asphalt-concrete.

It is also planned to include the northern access road to the capital into the Target-Oriented Program. Now, the project of reconstruction of access road into the city from М-7 "Volga" highway beginning from Podymalovo village is under development. Radmir Vagapov marked that it will be «the first category road, with illumination, display panel, interactive signs».
