Total investment approved by the Government of 203.8 billion rubles, of which gosvlozheniya by 78.2 billion rubles will be transferred from Investment Fund.

According to preliminary estimates the cost of travel from Moscow to St. Petersburg on the new road will be 600 rubles, this price is offset by the permitted speed of 150 km / h and five lanes in each direction. It will remain free roads. The drivers themselves will choose to pay and go on the road quality at high speed or to overcome traffic jams and road surface imperfections on free.
