Rustam Minnikhanov and Marat Khusnullin opened traffic at two highways in Kazan

On 14 October Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov and Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin, who came on a working trip to Kazan, took part in a ceremony of opening traffic on the access road to Kazan International Airport and on a renovated street in Kazan. 

Speaking at the ceremony, Rustam Minnikhanov said: “Today is a big event for our region. The airport road always has had intensive traffic and after Kazan Expo was built there often were traffic jams here. But due to its reconstruction the road became broader, having doubled its capacity”.

He also mentioned that a new road connecting the housing complex of Salavat Kupere in Kazan and Osinovo settlement will be very popular with local residents. 

“Never before have so many roads been built in Tatarstan and Russia: these are M-12 and M-7 and Shali-Bavly highway. All this becomes possible dues to our road construction workers, who fulfill all tasks set forth by the administrations of the country and regions. We hope that the construction pace will not decrease as we are ready to work. The most important is that all these projects aim at improving life quality of people”, Rustam Minnikhanov said and expressed his gratitude to road workers for their high quality labor. 

In his turn Marat Khusnullin said that despite being rather short all these roads are very important for further development of regions. “The access to the airport gives impetus to development of the whole territory and of course the airport could not develop and work any longer without it. Moreover as this road is the art of Europe-West-China highway”, he said.
