Transport configuration of Eurasia and the New Silk Road

Abstract

The article considers the prospects of creating the New Silk Road as the main element of the global interstate initiative “One Belt, One Road”, which involves the implementation of real economic projects that will last for decades. This initiative is also considered as a predominantly infrastructural concept (construction of railways and roads, transport and logistics centers, bridges, pipelines, etc.). Its implementation involves infrastructural development at the level of interstate contacts and the implementation of global projects with the participation of state-owned companies. Implementation of these projects will require multi-billion dollar investments based on political decisions at the highest level of the country's leadership. The New Silk Road project will require the intensification of interstate cooperation in the planning and development of new systems of transport flows.
