In the current conditions of economic contraction caused by the complex epidemiological situation and measures aimed at minimizing the spread of coronavirus, it is necessary to create a solid foundation for the further economic recovery. At the government level it was decided to continue the implementation of national projects as significant tools for recovery national economy. Economic level influences on transport infrastructure in the short term, however, presence of mutual influence has not been statistically confirmed. It was revealed that transport investments reduce the accident rate on the Rostov Region’s roads. The revealed combination of tendencies of a simultaneous decrease in accident rate and the specific gravity of paved roads indirectly indicates a redistribution of traffic flows and investments into sections and directions with the highest load. Improving the road’s quality with the highest flows by reducing investments to maintenance of auxiliary roads allows reducing accident rate. Such relation also indirectly indicates the trend of investment redistribution from maintenance of secondary roads to the busiest districts carrying risks of accidents. It is important to emphasize that coordinated policy for managing infrastructure projects will be determining factor in obtaining returns on invested financial resources, as measured by the positive dynamics of growth of socio-economic indicators.
