OREANDA-NEWS  Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin called on the state-owned Avtodor company not to slow down the pace of work on the construction of toll roads and to complete all planned projects on time, noting that new highways should be comfortable for travel and meet modern requirements for road safety.

He stated this at a meeting with Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of Avtodor Group of Companies. Avtodor specializes in the design, construction and management of toll roads. The state-owned company manages the highways M-1 "Belarus", M-4 "Don", M-3 "Ukraine", M-11 "Neva", M-12 "Vostok", A-289 (from Krasnodar to the Crimean Bridge) and the Central Ring Road.

"It is very important not to slow down the pace of work. It is necessary, of course, to complete all the planned projects on time. Obviously, this is actually a catalyst for economic growth and attracts tourism," Mishustin said on Wednesday.
