Rustem Khamitov inspected the first fixed weight checkpoint in Bashkiria

In Bashkortostan the first fixed weight checkpoint is built. It is organized on the road section Magnitogorsk - Ira in Baimaksky region of the republic. The new object of road infrastructure was inspected by the President RB Rustem Khamitov during his working visit over the region on Friday.
