Prime Minister Vladimir Putin congratulates road workers on their professional holiday
The message reads, in part:
"The strengthening of Russia's industrial and technological capabilities, addressing key social issues, the sustainable development of the Russian economy as a whole and improving the quality of life are directly dependent on the situation in the road-building sector and your professional achievements.
The top priorities in the industry today include building new highways that meet modern safety and environmental protection standards, upgrading road infrastructure and introducing innovative technologies and management practices.
I am convinced that your knowledge, experience, responsible approach to your work, and dedication to remarkable professional traditions will help you tackle these crucial challenges in the interests of Russia and its people."
