Russia keeps building its fast train line between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Transport Minister Roman Starovoit told reporters about the project progress. Workers split the railway path into seven different parts. Teams focus on sections six and seven that connect Moscow to Tver. About 1,500 people work on these parts every day.
Construction crews use more than 250 machines for the railway work. Russian Railways tested special welding methods for the train tracks. The high-speed line will cross six Russian areas. These regions are Moscow city, St. Petersburg city, Leningrad area, Novgorod area, Tver area and Moscow area.
St. Petersburg officials started taking private property for the railway project. The government needs land to build the train route. Property owners must give up their real estate for the construction. Officials have legal power to take buildings and land. The railway project requires space through many different neighborhoods.
