Metrotram and renovated airports: Chelyabinsk region at the RUSSIA EXPO

The Southern Urals is developing and creating comfortable conditions for the people who live there. This was announced by the Chelyabinsk region on the Day of the Region at the RUSSIA EXPO. It spoke about the construction of the subway, airport reconstruction and other achievements.

For instance, the construction of the Chelyabinsk Metrotram was started back in 1992, but high costs stopped the process for a long time. It was only on the order of President Vladimir Putin that the project was resumed in 2021. Metrotram will connect remote parts of the city with a population of one million people with each other. In addition, the airports in Chelyabinsk and Magnitogorsk are being reconstructed in the region.

And the Ural plant, together with South Ural State University and Moscow's Baumanka, has developed a unique Arctic bus that can transport people in hard-to-reach areas of the Far North.

"We want to break many stereotypes about our region, as well as show how it is and will be. The most important value for us is people. We are developing the South Ural, making life more comfortable so that every person wants to live here, love, create a family, give birth to children, get education, work and rest", - said Governor Alexei Teksler.
