The authorities of the Republic of Crimea plan to increase the share of roads in standard condition from the current 48 to 60% by 2030, the head of the region Sergei Aksenov reported at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Now share [дорог, доведенных] to standard state — 48%. <…> Everyone comes, especially those who have not been to Crimea for more than five years, and see a huge difference. In the evening, it is often impossible to recognize the terrain, because Crimea has really changed dramatically, and those who have not been for ten years do not even understand where they are. The changes are colossal, we plan to increase the level to 60% by 2030 [дорог] in good conditionhe said.

At the end of 2024, the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Crimea reported that the share of roads in standard condition in the region has almost doubled since reunification with Russia in 2014 — from 25% to 42.7%. In total, about 471 billion rubles were allocated for the development of the transport and road industry in the period from 2015 to 2024, during which time almost 389.57 km of new roads were built, about 4.5 thousand km of roads were repaired. New routes, such as Tavrida, have significantly reduced travel times when traveling within the region, which has significantly improved logistics and the availability of goods and services in the republic.
