The 15th International Russian Transportation Forum is held at the Moscow Gostiny Dvor. General Director of Stroytransgaz JSC Vladimir Aleksandrovich Lavlentsev participated in the business section of the Forum and TransWeek 2021 exhibition.

TransWeek is the main business event of the Russian transportation industry. The Forum discussed the 2035 Infrastructure Strategy development and heard key speakers, including CEOs of the country's major road construction industries and representatives of the Government.

Stroytransgaz JSC has an extensive portfolio of transportation infrastructure construction projects. The company is engaged in Phase 1 of a megaproject for the construction of a new M-12 high-speed highway (Moscow – Nizhny Novgorod – Kazan). M-12 highway is a strategic road, part of the route from Moscow to Beijing. All regions and countries where the road is built will get a substantial boost and the economic effect is expected to be enormous.

“Today, about 15,000 workers and 6,000 pieces of equipment are already working at M-12 on a 24/7 basis. So, the pace is good. I hope that we will launch the main course by 2023, and ramps, exit roads and landscaping will be completed by 2024," said Marat Shakirzyanovich Khusnullin, Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation.
