Representatives of Mostotrest, Institute Giprostroymost Saint Petersburg, Institute Stroyproekt, Nothern Capital Highway assured that the pace of transport construction in the Russian Federation will only increase but it cannot be achieved without the graduates of PGUPS — the first engineering transport university in Russia, where the classical school of bridge building was established.

Construction of new bridges and other infrastructure facilities of the global transport system is waiting for the PGUPS graduates. This is the conclusion reached by the participants of the international scientific and practical conference.
