September 28, Vitebsk / Olga Bogacheva - BELTA /. Investments in the development of Vitebsk's transport network in 2013-2014 will amount to Br300 billion. This was announced today at the opening of the southwestern bypass around Vitebsk by the Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, Alexander Kosinets, according to a BELTA correspondent. "We will be developing Vitebsk's roads very seriously. The city's road network development program includes the creation of several transport interchanges, and the improvement of roads in the outskirts, primarily in Markovshchina. Good asphalt concrete roads will be laid there, and tram tracks will be repaired," Alexander Kosinets emphasized, noting that this area is planned to be completed within a year. Regarding transport interchanges, the governor said that one of them includes an exit from P. Brovki Street to Tereshkova Street, which will cross Frunze Avenue and then lead to Gagarin Street. It has been decided not to demolish the tram tracks on Gagarin Street, but to widen the highway, making it six-lane with an exit to Gorovtsa and Chekhov streets. The next direction is Builders Avenue. It will pass through garages, lead to Bilevo, and then to Voronovskoye Ring. Another direction is Vitebsk-Tullovo. It is planned to build a road with asphalt concrete pavement from Tullovo to Voronovskoye Ring within two years. "Thus, we cover almost all directions leading to the regional center. The construction of these roads will significantly relieve traffic in Vitebsk," stated the chairman of the regional executive committee, emphasizing that the resources for the implementation of this program have been planned and allocated. These works are planned to be completed within 2013-2014. Alexander Kosinets also drew attention to the emergence of traffic jams in the regional center and, in this regard, the need to organize vertical parking lots in courtyards. "All central avenues of the city will be cleared of transport parked along the outskirts of the roads in the outer lane. This is also a task for the next three years," added the governor. -0-
