Every year in Russia, from 300 to 500 km of high-quality roads are built (motorways, 1st and 2nd class). Taking into account the distances separating cities in our country, the construction of roads is one of the priority directions of economic development. However, the construction of highways affects the environment in several directions at once: chemical pollution of atmospheric air, surface water, soil and vegetation, changes in the acoustic regime of the adjacent territory, mechanical movement of land masses during construction, changes in the hydrological regime of water bodies, etc. In order to reduce the harmful effects on the environment, it is necessary to develop and use remediation programs that will be able to minimize damage.
