A journalist from the Republic of Komi told President of Russia Vladimir Putin during the Direct Line program about a suggestion to transfer the Usinsk – Naryan Mar road to federal ownership, which may help maintain the road in a proper condition and ensure connection with the center of Russia.

Vladimir Putin noted that Putin noted that federal highways have almost been brought up to the required standards. As for northern deliveries, it is necessary to look at the plans for the development of the road network.

“We need to take all this into account and look at the plans for the development of the country's road network, the country's backbone road network. We have such a concept. I will definitely discuss this with the Government and we will definitely respond,” said the President.
