OREANDA-NEWS. April 05, 2010. The President stressed in his remarks the need to bring down road construction and operation costs and introduce new motorways construction technology as soon as possible.

Mr Medvedev also said it would make economic sense to design a system of simultaneous tenders for construction of roads and for their subsequent operation, so as to offer incentives to reduce overall budget expenses. The Government has been instructed to draft the relevant legal acts on these matters.

President Medvedev noted that he expects the implementation of instructions set out in the Executive Order On Creating a Comprehensive Transport Safety System, signed on March 31, 2010, to be organised in as effective fashion as possible.
