Foreign companies may receive contracts on construction of subway and road infrastructure in Moscow in line with plans to increase the volume of construction in the Russian capital, a deputy mayor said.

"The volume of construction [in Moscow] has already doubled, and we will have to use additional sources. It is highly possible that we will invite foreigners to join some of the construction projects," Marat Khusnullin said in an interview with the Vedomosti daily published on Wednesday.

Khusnullin mentioned subway and road construction among these projects.

The official said Moscow authorities planned to build 75 kilometers of subway lines in five years.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin earlier pledged to allocate 50 billion rubles annually on the subway construction until 2015. He also urged building subway stations under standard design rather than as individual projects.
