The damage to the roads of Siberia from the flood exceeded 7.6 billion rubles

As a result of the floods in Siberia, 793 km of roads and 365 bridges were damaged. According to preliminary data, the damage amounted to 7,614.4 million rubles.

According to the Rosavtodor website, to date, the fare has been provided at 707.8 km of roads and 112 bridges. Restored to the initial state of 105.1 km of roads.

Igor Astakhov, deputy head of Rosavtodor, proposed to divide all the costs of restoring road infrastructure into stages, following the experience of the Far East, who suffered from the flood in 2013: “It is obvious that this year all the restoration work will not be completed. Therefore, I believe that we need to make a decision to divide restoration work into stages, just as in the situation with the Far East. ”

According to the deputy head of the Operation Department of the roads of Vasily Kurguzov, it is necessary to examine about 100 km of roads. In addition, he said that destroyed bridges that did not have balance holders, as well as private structures were discovered. Oleg Belozerov, Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation, instructed to give an accurate assessment of their share in the total volume within three days, and also see if any of them were insured, think over the mechanism and the possibility of recovery.

Recall that the rivers came out of the coast in four regions of Siberia after pouring rains in late May. Settlements in the Republic of Altai, Khakassia, Tuva and the Altai Territory were injured.
