The Head of Bashkortostan, Radiy Khabirov, ordered the regional Ministry of Transport and the Federal Government Institution "Uprdor 'Priuralye'" to present their proposals for resolving the lighting problem on the R-240 highway at an operational government meeting within a two-week period.
As Radiy Khabirov said, he found himself on the Sterlitamak – Ufa highway during the dark hours of the day while returning the day before from the Muradymovskoe Gorge. According to him, he has repeatedly heard complaints from motorists regarding the lighting on this road, "and now I have seen it for myself."
