The modernization of BAM and Trans Siberian railway will be finished in 2019
The modernization project of the railroad infrastructure of the Baikal-Amur Mainline and Trans-Siberian Railway would be postponed to 2019th due to the low work performance at the construction objects. "As a result, the accomplishment of objects, which were planned to be placed into operation in 2016th, and which are financed by the National Welfare Fund (NWF), were not completed" - is stated in the published report of the supervisory department, after the inspection on funds allocated by the NWF.
