“From the very beginning of its exploitation, the transport passage must operate as a single well-oiled machine, ensure quick and uninterrupted transportation with Crimea,” said Vladimir Putin over the course of a presidium meeting of State Council in the city of Kerch.
“I remind you that this year we allocated additional 5 billion roubles for road construction in Crimea, and we have a total of 18 billion roubles this year,” noted Russian President.
According to Vladimir Putin, this is a considerable sum of money, but “the issue doesn’t concern the volumes, rather the way these funds are spent does.”
Russian President stressed that a transportation passage across the Kerch Strait is not just a bridge, there is a need to adapt highways and railways to it, to ensure related infrastructure, both on the part of the Krasnodar region and the territory of Crimea.
