This enables us to build advanced manufacturing facilities and create new jobs,» said Veniamin Kondratyev.

The head of the region emphasized that new motorways are being built in the region thanks to the state support. The Far Western Bypass of Krasnodar, the Anapa Bypass, and a section of the M-4 Don motorway near Gelendzhik have already been completed. Works are now underway on a new road that will connect the Far Western Bypass and the Crimean Bridge. Funds have been allocated for the construction of the Adler bypass and an interchange on the motorway between Novorossiysk and Anapa.

We are currently implementing 500 major investment projects worth 2.8 trillion rubles. And this is also our historical record and a great potential in industry, agriculture, winemaking,» the Governor said.
