Vladimir Putin supported the construction of a tunnel in Kirov, the governor said

Alexander Sokolov spoke about his visit to the Kremlin. The governor spoke about the results of the meeting with the president at a weekly meeting with members of the regional government.

The head of the Kirov region shared that Vladimir Putin supported a number of initiatives of the regional authorities. Thus, the construction of a tunnel under the Trans-Siberian Railway in the Novovyatsky district of Kirov will be additionally financed from the state budget. From there, more than 3 billion rubles will be allocated for the construction of the facility.

Alexander Sokolov instructed the regional transport minister Alexey Petryakov to work through this issue with his colleagues from the Russian government to the end. In addition, the governor said that another most important project for the region – the bridge over the Cheptsa River – “also did not fall through”: the object remained in the financing program.
