The road season has begun in the Amur region. The work started on the section of the Blagoveshchensk-Gomelevka highway.
Since March, the road workers have managed to “dress” in asphalt concrete the section between the villages of Lozovoe and Tolstovka in the Tambov region. This section took about a thousand tons of material, the press service of the regional government said.
At first, the workers laid the lower leveling layer on two kilometers of the road with porous asphalt, now the contractor is laying crushed stone-mastic material.
As explained by the acting. Minister of Transport and Roads of the region Dmitry Luchnikov, two years ago, such work began only in May. Now the road workers were already laying the last layers of asphalt in April. This became possible due to the early contracting of objects, and it was carried out last year.
“We set ourselves the goal of concluding contracts for all repair facilities in 2022-2023 by August 1 of this year,” he said.
Amur Governor Vasily Orlov noted that this year they will pay special attention to the Blagoveshchensk – Gomelevka route. Already, three sections are being put in order, which were in an abnormal state. A contractor has also been identified to repair the section, the length of which is 27 kilometers. They will work here using new technologies. The road will have lighting and stops. In total, this year, they will “otkapitalaly” four dozen kilometers of the route.
“Until 2024, we will bring the road to a standard state,” noted the head of the Amur Region Vasily Orlov.
