“Given the special importance of the M-12 highway, the government sets the task of putting it into operation already in 2024,” TASS quoted the Prime Minister as saying.

According to him, the total funding is more than 650 billion rubles.

“These investments will give a significant return in the coming years after the launch of the highway,” he added.

Earlier, the transport transport commission approved proposals for tracing the new M12 toll road.

As stated in Avtodor, travel on the Moscow-Kazan highway will cost a maximum of 2.5 thousand rubles for cars.
