Mr. Mikhail Lapshin came to the neighbouring Komi Republic to talk transport and infrastructure. A road between the two regions are under construction, but is expected to be finished only in year 2015. Currently, the Nenets AO is landlocked without any road connection to the neighbouring regions. Regional authorities in the Nenets AO, Komi Republic and Arkhangelsk Oblast now intend to jointly address the federal government with request for more infrastructure subsidies.
