The message reads, in part:
“Today, we are honouring workers of the road construction industry, the highly qualified and in-demand professionals who are competent in their trade and realise the importance of their job. In challenging and sometimes extreme conditions, you build motorways and elevated roads, bridges and tunnels, ensuring safe and reliable connectivity between the cities and towns of our vast country. It goes without saying that the quality of life and the development of all Russian cities depend on your hard work.
I would like to note, with satisfaction, that the Russian road construction industry has been on the rise in recent years. Largely thanks to smart management decisions and extensive introduction of modern technologies and materials, hundreds of kilometres of federal, regional and local roads have been built and renovated, with major logistics hubs and transport corridors, along with upgraded industry infrastructure which takes the private-public partnership to a new level.
I am confident that you will continue to work honestly and achieve the set goals for the benefit of the Motherland and our nation.”
