Repair of 113 rural roads in Ivanovo region completed by 97%

In the Ivanovo region, work is nearing completion on 113 rural roads with a total length of 265 kilometers. According to the regional government, their technical readiness has reached 97%. Repairs are carried out in all municipalities.

On dirt and gravel areas, profiling and filling are carried out, on roads with asphalt pavement, pits are eliminated and road maps are updated. When choosing objects, special attention is paid to the routes of school buses.

After putting in order the main roads connecting cities with the regional center, the region was able to actively engage in rural areas. Since 2026, on behalf of Governor Stanislav Voskresensky, at least 10% of the regional road fund has been sent to repair rural roads.

The head of the region stressed that it is impossible to provide asphalt to each village. However, the roads used by school buses and ambulances must be maintained properly. In some settlements, asphalt pavement is necessary for this, in others it is enough to qualitatively maintain dirt roads.

The Governor gave a separate order to the Director of the Department of Road Management and Transport Vladimir Shapovalov. He demanded to personally monitor the condition of certain areas for repair and to prevent situations when a school bus or ambulance cannot pass to residents because of bad roads. Voskresensky also noted that the region got rid of unscrupulous contractors who did not fulfill their obligations.

In 2027, it is planned to repair surface defects on another 123 rural roads with a length of more than 230 kilometers. About 15% of the road fund of the region will be allocated for these works.

According to the data provided by RIA Novosti, 94.2% of highways meet the regulatory requirements in the Ivanovo region.
