In Russia they want to save on good roads. The Treasury Department offered not to change the canvas and edges if they are in good condition.
Even when the deadline has come. About who will decide when to shift the asphalt and where to send the money saved, Moscow 24 broadcaster said in a report.
– Often they remove the canvas, which can take a few years, there are almost no flaws or the edges begin to change. Because the revision period has arrived and an investment of money is needed. We will save resources for solving our priority tasks,” Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said during a meeting with Putin.
If Muscovites have almost no questions about roads, then they are still out there joking about “directions” instead of roads. After the winter season, there is not enough patching.
The president demanded that Russia’s roads be in order within five years. Meanwhile, according to our standards, the lead time is 6 years, but they want to increase it to 12. For this, you need to use more modern expensive materials, but not all regions can afford it.
In order to determine how urgently the road needs to be repaired, diagnostics should be done, according to experts. And if the road is in normal condition, repairs can be delayed.
