MINSK, 12 September (BelTA) - Plans are underway to connect Minsk and satellite cities with fast transport links, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at an opening ceremony for the reconstructed Loshitsa historical and cultural complex in Minsk on 12 September, BelTA has learned.
The head of state emphasized that the Belarusian capital must be kept comfortable for living and must under no circumstances be overpopulated. Therefore, the development of satellite cities, such as Rudensk, Dzerzhinsk, Smolevichi, Logoisk, Fanipol, and Zaslavl, is underway to ensure infrastructure and housing comfortable for living.

Now the head of state is considering options for technical solutions on how to connect the Belarusian capital and the satellite cities with high-speed transport. “We are thinking about how to connect these areas with Minsk using fast technical means. It will either be a railway or a monorail. We will see what is cheaper, what may suit us better,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. “It should be done for people to be able to reach Minsk from, for example, Dzerzhinsk in 10 minutes.”
