“The task: to pass the eighth section - it is the most difficult today - until September 29, 2019,” TASS cites Alafinov's words.

At the moment, work continues on the 7th and 8th sections of the route, which pass through the territory of the Novgorod and Leningrad regions.

The total length of sections is 137.6 km.

Earlier, Avtodor told about the increase in the fare for the paid sections of the M4 Don, M3 Ukraina and M11 (Moscow - St. Petersburg) highways.
