Russian specialists have started building a road to aid the removal of the wreckage of Polish President Lech Kaczynski's plane, which crashed in west Russia on Saturday, killing all 96 people on board.
"Today work has begun to build a road on the territory of the military aerodrome. Otherwise, the fragments of the plane wreckage cannot be removed from boggy terrain," a spokesperson for the Smolensk regional administration said, adding that the work would take several days.
Most of the bodies of the victims of the crash have already been removed from the wreckage and sent to Moscow, but Russian and Polish investigators will continue to search for remains on Monday.
The president's body has been identified and flown to Warsaw where it will lie in state for several days until burial.
