A billion for the overhaul of roads in Kazan
It will take about a billion rubles to overhaul roads in Kazan alone. Last year, twice as much as the originally planned amount was allocated for road works.
The amount of 39.1 billion rubles is not final and may still grow. So, in the initial version of the Cabinet's resolution on road works in 2024, which was approved at the end of January, it was stated that the total cost of this would amount to 54.5 billion rubles. During the year, the document was repeatedly amended, including the specified amount. As a result, according to the current version of the resolution, road works in the republic already cost 102.4 billion rubles.
