"Denis Pasler discusses progress on the 'Ural' transit and logistics facility"
In the heart of Russia's Ural region, the Ural Logistic Center (ULC) is undergoing significant development, as announced by the Governor of Sverdlovsk Oblast, Denis Pasler, at the 15th International Industrial Exhibition, Innoprom.
The ULC, situated near the Apatity railway station, is set to undergo a transformation, with plans to consolidate scattered warehouses and expand its size. This expansion is expected to bring about a boost in urban infrastructure, with new zones for both recreational and residential construction.
In a recent address, Governor Pasler also announced plans for opening a section of the M-12 "East" highway to Yekaterinburg by July 2025. The highway's opening is expected to further enhance the ULC's transportation capabilities, as the centre currently has a capacity to handle around 4.5 million tons of cargo.
The development of the ULC also includes the construction of new storage facilities, which will help streamline logistics and reduce the need for multiple warehouse locations, such as those currently found in Yekaterinburg.
The first phase of the ULC began operating in November 2022, and the construction of a second transportation route is currently underway. Once completed, this second route is expected to double the volume of transportation at the ULC.
The development of the ULC is part of a larger trend of infrastructure and production expansions in Russia. The region is also involved in business and friendly ties with Tajikistan, with potential collaborations in energy facility modernization and trade.
For detailed updates on the Ural Logistic Center and the M-12 highway, it is advisable to consult local news sources or official announcements from regional authorities. The expansion of the ULC is expected to benefit businesses in terms of loading and product delivery, making it an exciting development for the region.
The Ural Logistic Center (ULC) expansion, encompassing consolidated warehouses and increased size, is anticipated to stimulate growth in the urban infrastructure, providing new areas for recreational and residential construction. The forthcoming opening of the M-12 "East" highway to Yekaterinburg by July 2025 will bolster the ULC's transportation capabilities, fostering finance, transportation, and business opportunities within the industry.
