In 2024, 26 new single-section trams will be purchased for Yaroslavl, costing more than 1 billion rubles. They were provided by the state corporation VEB.RF. Delivery will take place before the end of the year.
– VEB.RF is a reliable strategic partner of the Yaroslavl region. With the support of the state corporation, projects in tourism, industry, and infrastructure development are being implemented in the region. Among the priorities today is the renewal of the tram network, which we are carrying out within the framework of the concession agreement,” noted the Governor of the Yaroslavl Region, Mikhail Evraev. “The comprehensive program will allow us to update the rolling stock and tram infrastructure, modernize the electrical network, introduce digital services and, in general, significantly improve the quality standards of transport services.
The region received federal support as part of the modernization of electric transport in Yaroslavl. The region was one of 10 subjects of the Russian Federation that became participants in the specialized program. A concession agreement will make it possible to completely renew the tram infrastructure. Such documents are a key tool of the program and have already been concluded in a number of cities, in particular in Kursk, Lipetsk, Perm and others. The total cost of the project is 19.7 billion rubles, the volume of participation of VEB.RF, including funds from the National Welfare Fund, is 12.7 billion rubles.
The construction of tram tracks has already begun in the Dzerzhinsky district of Yaroslavl. The work is taking place in the area from Leningradsky Prospekt to the turning circle on Blucher Street. The installation of the rails has begun. Construction of 5.5 kilometers of tracks is scheduled to be completed in 2024.
In total, over two years, under the terms of the concession, 45.3 kilometers of tram tracks, new traction substations and depots will be built in the regional center, and 47 modern single-section low-floor trams will be purchased.
