The Russian Government is looking at options with regard to doubling its road construction programme by 2023. The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, previously made a decree of doubling the road  construction programme with a view to improving and increasing the country’s transport links. To achieve the target set by the president the country will have to build an additional 780km of federal highways and 2,940km of regional roads. The financing for the new highway construction programme has yet to be revealed. However it seems likely that the links will be offered under concession packages and that the highway will be tolled.
