RF Transportation Minister Igor Levitin proposes to use the facilities of the companies engaged in Olympic construction projects for building of the second branch of the Volga-Don canal, PRIME-TASS reports.
The conclusion on the new waterway between the Caspian and the Black Sea will be made by 2015, Levitin said at the meeting with the RF Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
“If our proposal on construction of the second branch of Volga-Don is accepted we would be able to engage the construction organizations which are to complete their Sochi project by 2014,” Levitin says.
