The puzzle is being assembled: which sections of the North-East Expressway are already open. Launch of the North-East Expressway

Road construction in the Russian capital does not stop for a day. And, despite the fact that sometimes it seems that all reserves for improving the transport situation are close to exhaustion, city authorities, designers and builders manage to find new solutions to make life easier for motorists and public transport passengers. The commissioning of a system of chord roads and roads will further relieve congestion in the city center and main ring roads.

Initially, Moscow found itself hostage to the radial-ring transport system. And at a time when motorization was proceeding at a relatively low pace, this state of affairs suited everyone. However, the capital was not ready for a sharp increase in the city’s population and the number of cars at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. Analysts of the construction company Monarch and B, part of the Monarch Group of Companies, came to this conclusion.

The actions taken by the city authorities at that time did not keep up with the pace of its development - new and reconstructed streets instantly turned into places where traffic accumulated.

It became clear that building more and more new rings is a solution that does not have a serious effect and improves the road situation only for a short period of time. But it was obviously impossible to abandon the existing radial-ring system. Under these conditions, the city authorities, together with the best engineering and design minds, had to figure out how to make sure that the city did not end up in gigantic traffic jams in the near future.

The main idea was the redistribution of flows. In order to get from one residential area to another, located at the opposite end of the city, there were two travel options: through the Moscow Ring Road and through the center. Alternative routes were either inconvenient or too time consuming. New route options were needed. This is how the project for constructing a system of chords and rockades came into being.

NORTHEASTERN CHORD

This highway will pass the North-Eastern Expressway, 35 kilometers long, running from the new M11 Moscow - St. Petersburg highway to the Kosinskaya overpass - an interchange at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road with the Veshnyaki - Lyubertsy highway. The chord will connect the Moscow Ring Road, Entuziastov Highway, Izmailovskoye, Shchelkovskoye, Otkrytoye, Yaroslavskoye, Altufevskoye and Dmitrovskoye Highways. It will reduce the traffic load on the center, the Third Ring Road, the Moscow Ring Road and outbound highways.

The other day, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin opened traffic on the overpasses at the interchange of the North-Eastern Expressway with Entuziastov Highway and Budyonny Avenue. In August, an overpass was opened at the intersection of the new highway and Shchelkovskoye Highway. The main work on the construction of the North-Eastern Expressway is planned to be completed in 2019, said the head of the city’s construction complex, Marat Khusnullin.

In addition to the section from Entuziastov Highway to Izmailovskoye Highway, two more have already been built - from the Businovskaya interchange to Festivalnaya Street and from Izmailovskoye to Shchelkovskoye Highway. Currently, work is being carried out in sections from Entuziastov Highway to the Moscow Ring Road and from Festivalnaya Street to Dmitrovskoye Shosse.

NORTHWESTERN CHORD

The purpose of this city highway is to provide a diagonal connection between the northeastern and southwestern districts of the capital, bypassing the city center, to relieve congestion on the Third Transport Ring, MKAD, Garden Ring, Leningradskoye, Volokolamskoye Highways and other highways. The new route will run from Skolkovskoye to Yaroslavskoye highway.

The reconstructed Bolshaya Akademicheskaya Street together with the Alabyano-Baltiysky Tunnel formed the main part of the highway, which in the area of Dmitrovskoye Highway adjoined the North-Eastern Expressway and through the Businovskaya interchange gained access to a new highway in the direction of Sheremetyevo Airport.

Thanks to the Mikhalkovsky Tunnel, it became possible to remove traffic light objects. Traffic has already been launched along the overpass at the intersection of Skolkovskoye Highway with Vyazemskaya and Vitebskaya streets, along the turnaround overpass with Ryabinova and the bridge over the Setun River.

It is planned to complete all construction work on the North-Western Expressway and launch the entire highway in 2018.

SOUTH ROKADA

The road will connect the Moscow Ring Road through Rublevskoye Shosse, Balaklavsky Prospekt, Varshavskoye Shosse, Kantemirovskaya Street, Kashirskoye Shosse and Borisovskie Prudy Street. Rokada will serve as a backup for the Moscow Ring Road and the southern section of the Third Ring Road. Its task is to redistribute traffic flows and relieve congestion on the Kashirskoye and Varshavskoye highways, as well as Proletarsky Avenue. The new highway will include existing roads, which will be reconstructed and expanded.

According to the plans of the city authorities, the Southern Road will run from Balaklavsky Prospekt through a tunnel under Varshavskoye Shosse, then through an overpass it will cross the railway tracks, cross the Chertanovka River over the bridge and connect with Kantemirovskaya Street in the area of Proletarsky Prospekt. Then, through the tunnel, drivers will be able to get to Borisovskie Prudy Street in the direction of Maryino. Then the road will go along Verkhnie Polya Street, from where the transport will head towards the Moscow Ring Road through Kapotnya.

To date, the section from Rublevskoye Highway to Balaklavsky Prospekt has already been put into operation. Overpasses and pedestrian crossings were built here. The capital's authorities plan to build an interchange at the intersection of Warsaw Highway and Balaklava Avenue. A tunnel, overpass, turning ramps and side passages will appear at this location. In addition, an overpass will be built under the Paveletsky direction, a bridge over the Chertanovka River and an underground pedestrian crossing. And the section from the intersection with Proletarsky Prospekt to the Moscow Ring Road will be formed using existing streets.

Total length of chord roads will be about 243 kilometers. Over a hundred transport structures - tunnels, overpasses, bridges and overpasses - will be built on them. The launch of traffic on new high-speed routes will make it possible to create virtually a new ring, but with exits to the Moscow Ring Road, which will relieve congestion on the last and Third transport rings. The plans are to connect the North-Western and North-East Expressways in the area of Festivalnaya Street with access to the road to the Businovskaya interchange and then to the Moscow-St. Petersburg toll highway. The Southern Road will intersect with the North-Western Expressway in the Krylatskoye area.

The North-Eastern Expressway (NEC) is emerging more and more clearly on the map of Moscow. Motorists probably actively use four sections: from Businovskaya interchange to Festivalnaya street, from Izmailovskoye to Shchelkovskoye highway, from Entuziastov highway to Izmailovskoye highway and from Shchelkovskoye to Otkrytoye highway. Now they have access to two more: from Entuziastov Highway to the Moscow Ring Road and from Festivalnaya Street to Dmitrovskoye Shosse.

Thus, the chord became continuous in the sections from the Businovskaya interchange to the Dmitrovskoye Shosse and from the Otkrytoye Shosse to the Moscow Ring Road. This almost 80 kilometers of roads, 67 artificial structures and 14 pedestrian crossings. In the north of Moscow, the route of the expressway continues beyond the Moscow Ring Road, turning into the new highway M11 Moscow - St. Petersburg.

The remaining two sections - from Dmitrovskoye to Yaroslavskoye Shosse and from Yaroslavskoye to Otkrytoye Shosse - are currently being designed.

Despite the fact that the chord is not yet fully ready, it has already made life much easier for millions of Muscovites. Let's talk about already open areas.

From Businovskaya interchange to Dmitrovskoe highway

This large section of temporary storage warehouses included two sections: from Businovskaya interchange to Festivalnaya street and from Festivalnaya street to Dmitrovskoye highway.

First was opened in 2015. It consists of 7.8 kilometers of roads, including 19 overpasses (4.45 kilometers), as well as a reconstructed pedestrian crossing.

Plot helped connect three areas: Khovrino, Golovinsky and Western Degunino. Before this, it was possible to travel between them only through the Moscow Ring Road, which heavily loaded the highway. In addition, this section helped to integrate the highway with the Moscow-St. Petersburg federal highway.

Second section- from Festivalnaya Street to Dmitrovskoye Shosse - opened on September 5. It includes 10.6 kilometers of roads, including seven overpasses, a bridge over the Likhoborka River, an overpass on the connecting branch of the Oktyabrskaya Railway and an underground pedestrian crossing. The section allows residents of the Golovinsky, Timiryazevsky and Koptevo districts to directly access Dmitrovskoye Highway without entering the Moscow Ring Road.

This is one of the most important sections of the chord, which will provide a connection to Bolshaya Akademicheskaya Street and exit to the North-Western Expressway. It will also allow the Moscow-St. Petersburg highway to exit through Dmitrovskoe Highway to the city center.

From Open Highway to MKAD

The second part of the future highway will stretch from the Open Highway to the eastern part of the Moscow Ring Road. During construction it was divided into four sections: from Otkrytoye to Shchelkovskoye highway, from Shchelkovskoye to Izmailovskoye highway, from Izmailovskoye highway to Entuziastov highway and from Entuziastov highway to the Moscow Ring Road.

Traffic on five overpasses section from Shchelkovskoye to Izmailovskoye highway is also already open. The total length of its roads is 13.38 kilometers, of which 1.48 kilometers are occupied by overpasses, and another 480 meters are a tunnel under the Shchelkovskoye Highway. The site helped relieve congestion on Izmailovskoye and Shchelkovskoye highways, Entuziastov highway and Budyonny Avenue, as well as Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya and Pervomaiskaya streets.

Section from Izmailovskoye Highway to Entuziastov Highway- this is 22.84 kilometers of roads that were opened in 2017. It included 15 overpasses, five pedestrian crossings and a reconstructed railway overpass. The road has eased traffic on Budyonny Avenue and on the section of Entuziastov Highway from Budyonny Avenue to Plekhanov Street. It also made it possible to reduce the flow of traffic traveling to the city center along Entuziastov Highway. The site has improved transport accessibility in the Sokolinaya Gora, Preobrazhenskoye, Vostochnoye and Northern Izmailovo districts.

Eastern end of the chord - section from Entuziastov highway to MKAD— opened on September 4. It will ease traffic in the east and south-east of the capital, reduce the load on Ryazansky Avenue, Entuziastov Highway and Shchelkovskoye Highway, as well as on the eastern sectors of the Moscow Ring Road and the Third Transport Ring (TTK). It will now be much easier for residents of the Kosino-Ukhtomsky and Nekrasovka districts, as well as Lyubertsy, to enter the city.

The segment included the longest overpass in Moscow— 2.5 kilometers from the Plyushchevo platform to the overpass exit from Perovskaya Street.

During the construction of the road, pedestrian crossings were repaired: to the Vykhino metro station and the platform of the same name of the Kazan and Ryazan directions of the Moscow Railway, to the Assumption Church and Veshnyakovsky cemetery, to Kuskovo park.

Crossing Moscow

The North-Eastern Expressway will become one of four new through highways in the capital. They decided to build them instead of the Fourth Transport Ring because, according to experts, such a system. The new transport framework, which will appear in Moscow by 2023, will be based on the North-East, South-East and North-West Expressways, as well as the South Road.

New highways They will connect the city districts and relieve congestion on the Third Transport Ring Road, the Moscow Ring Road and outbound highways. They will include about 300 kilometers of roads, 127 overpasses, bridges and tunnels, as well as more than 50 pedestrian crossings.

The North-Eastern Expressway will stretch from the M11 Moscow - St. Petersburg highway to the interchange at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road with the Veshnyaki - Lyubertsy highway. It will connect major highways and also connect diagonally the north, east and southeast of the capital.

This fall, the North-Eastern and North-Western Expressways in Moscow will be connected by a turning overpass on Bolshaya Akademicheskaya Street. First Deputy Head of the Construction Department Pyotr Aksenov told reporters about this after visiting one of the sections of the North-East Expressway under construction.

As RG has already written, the capital’s chords in terms of the scale of construction and the impact on city traffic can be compared with the Moscow Ring Road or the Third Ring Road. They will save Muscovites from tens of kilometers of re-runs, which they are now forced to do in order to get to the neighboring area. The chords will allow you to cross through the city without entering the historical center. Moreover, both highways will be free.

In particular, the SZH will run from the Dmitrovskoye to Skolkovskoye highways, and the TSW will run from the Moscow-St. Petersburg toll road to the interchange at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road and the Veshnyaki-Lyubertsy interchange. After the highways are fully launched, the load on the outbound routes, according to calculations by the Research and Design Institute of the General Plan of Moscow, will decrease by 20-25 percent.

Some sections of the chords are already in use by motorists, and some of their elements are still being completed. For example, the connection between Festivalnaya Street and Dmitrovskoe Highway. It is almost 11 km long, and half of this route goes over bridges and overpasses. Artificial structures were specially designed so that they go as far as possible from houses and do not cause inconvenience to their residents. Nevertheless, just in case, in high-rise buildings in the northeast, builders replaced 6 thousand windows with silent ones. However, construction is already ending. Visually, the overpasses are almost ready; a few things remain to be completed on the engineering side.

We have actually completed 90 percent of the work,” Aksenov said. - But there was a slight delay. On one of the sites there is a Khovrinskaya pumping station, at which communications need to be relocated. In winter, this could not be done without harming the 3.5 thousand local residents whose houses are powered by it.

It turned out that it was possible to turn off the station only on May 15. According to Aksenov’s estimates, the northern section of the expressway can realistically be launched by City Day in September. This will complete the work along almost the entire length of the temporary storage warehouse. Construction is still ongoing on the section between Shchelkovskoye and Otkrytoye highways.

In the near future, in the southwest of the city, the North-Eastern passage will connect with the North-Western one. In the area of Bolshaya Akademicheskaya Street, the construction of several connecting overpasses is planned. The first of them, the turnaround, will be completed in October of this year. It allows you to drive from one chord track to another without wasting time on a detour along Dmitrovskoe Highway. Let me note that the Moscow authorities expect to complete construction of both chords by 2020-2021.

Currently, work on the construction of three new highways is in full swing in the capital: the North-Western and North-Eastern Expressways, as well as the South Road.

North-East Expressway

Length North-East Expressway will be about 29 kilometers. It must, bypassing the center of the capital, urban areas in the north and southeast of Moscow, which are considered the most densely populated.

The highway will pass through the largest highways in the northeast of the capital - Dmitrovskoye, Altufevskoye, Otkrytoye, and Izmailovskoye highways, allowing them to significantly relieve congestion. The chord is being laid from the Moscow-St. Petersburg toll road on the western side of the Oktyabrskaya Railway, along the Small Ring of the Moscow Railway to a new interchange on the Moscow Ring Road at the intersection with the Veshnyaki-Lyubertsy highway.

There will be a railway overpass on the section of the North-Eastern Expressway from Festivalnaya Street to Dmitrovskoye Shosse. It is necessary to accommodate branch No. 2 of the Moscow railway junction, which connects the Khovrino and Likhobory stations.

On this site it is also planned to build 4 road overpasses, two overpasses over the railway tracks and additional ramps to them. This will allow residents of nearby areas to significantly save time on travel to Dmitrovskoye Highway. Currently, in order to get onto the highway, you have to make a detour. The opening of this section will allow access to the highway directly in the area of the Petrovsko-Razumovskaya metro station.

The North-Eastern Expressway is divided into sections:

From Businovskaya interchange to Festivalnaya street (put into operation in 2014);

From Festivalnaya Street to Dmitrovskoe Highway (under construction);

From Dmitrovskoe highway to Yaroslavskoe highway (projected);

From Yaroslavskoye to Otkrytoye Shosse (route not determined);

From Otkrytoye to Shchelkovskoe highway (projected);

From Shchelkovskoe highway to Izmailovskoe highway (everything was built except the tunnel over Shchelkovskoe highway);

From Izmailovskoye Highway to Entuziastov Highway (under construction);

From the Entuziastov highway to the interchange at the 8th kilometer of the MKAD Veshnyaki - Lyubertsy (projected).

Next year, a section of the “Northern Road” from Entuziastov Highway to the Moscow Ring Road. Over 12 kilometers of roads will be built here, including six overpasses with a total length of more than 3.7 kilometers. In addition, this site provides for the construction of an underground pedestrian crossing and the reconstruction of two existing ones.

Also, until the end of next year, a section of the highway from Shchelkovskoye to Otkrytoye Shosse will be built. Here, work is being carried out on the construction of new ramps, as well as an entrance to the industrial zone.

On this section, an overpass will be built for traffic towards Shchelkovskoye Highway, an overpass for exiting to Otkrytoye Shosse, an exit from the North-Eastern Expressway to Otkrytoye Shosse and an exit section from Shchelkovskoye Highway to the Northern Rokada.

But the construction of two sections of the highway - Izmailovskoye Highway - Shchelkovskoye Highway and Izmailovskoye Highway - Entuziastov Highway - is planned for this year. Moreover, work on the Enthusiast Highway has already reached the finish line.

This section of the North-Eastern Expressway will run along the MCC tracks and cross the Entuziastov Highway in the area of the metro station of the same name. Construction work is underway on the main route of the Northern Road, Entuziastov Highway, Budyonny Avenue, Perovskaya Street, Anosova Street, Elektrodny Proezd and other adjacent sections of the road network. There will be 5 pedestrian crossings and more than 7 kilometers of tram tracks.

Currently, construction has been completed and 5 overpasses, 3 pedestrian crossings, as well as the Lefortovo MCC station have been put into operation. The work in this area is 85 percent completed.

The construction of the temporary storage warehouse is planned to be completed in two years.

The construction of the North-Eastern Expressway is designed to provide a diagonal connection between the north, east and south-east of the capital, reducing the traffic load on the city center, the Third Ring Road, the Moscow Ring Road and outbound highways.

The North-Eastern Expressway will provide transport services for the reorganized industrial zones in the Eastern Administrative District and the Southern Eastern Administrative District, will allow organizing traffic without traffic lights thanks to the construction of a section of the road from the Moscow Ring Road to the Open Highway, which will reduce the average travel time by more than 15 percent and relieve congestion on the ring road by 20–25 percent, reducing the level air pollution in residential buildings in the Bogorodsky, Sokolniki, Basmanny districts by approximately 10 percent, and will also make the acoustic conditions in these areas more comfortable.

North-Western Expressway

The chord will stretch from Skolkovskoye to Yaroslavskoye Highway and will relieve congestion in the central part of the city, providing a diagonal connection between the north-eastern and south-western regions of Moscow. This will help relieve congestion on the Third Transport Ring, MKAD, Garden Ring, Leningradskoye and Volokolamskoye highways, as well as other highways.

The chord length will be about 29 kilometers. It is planned to make traffic along it without traffic lights.

The following facilities will be built along the North-Western Expressway:

Alabyano-Baltiysky tunnel (built);

Mikhalkovsky tunnel (allowed the removal of the traffic light at the intersection of Bolshaya Akademicheskaya and Mikhalkovskaya streets);

Left turn tunnel on the Moscow – St. Petersburg highway;

Tunnel Yartsevskaya/Molodogvardeyskaya (along Molodogvardeyskaya);

Tunnel Yartsevskaya/Elninskaya (along Elninskaya);

Left turn tunnel on Rublevskoe highway;

Turnaround tunnel along Rublevskoye Highway (southern side of the highway);

An overpass in front of Rublevskoye Highway, which will connect Krylatskie Hills Street and 3rd Krylatskaya Street;

Bridge-understudy of Krylatsky;

Bridge over the canal near Karamyshevsky;

Overpass across Dmitrovskoye Highway;

Overpass near Gostinichnaya Street;

Overpass across the Small Ring of the Moscow Railway near the Vladykino metro station;

Overpass near the Botanical Garden metro station;

Left turn overpass on Yaroslavskoye Highway;

35 overground and underground pedestrian crossings;

Tunnel at the intersection of Berzarina and People's Militia streets.

The construction work was one of the most difficult on the North-Western Expressway. It passes under Leningradsky Prospekt, two transport tunnels (Volokolamsky and Leningradsky), Zamoskvoretskaya metro line, Podmoskovnaya station of the Moscow Railway, and also connects Alabyan and Bolshaya Akademicheskaya streets.

The North-Western Expressway will increase the Aminevskoye Highway by 25–30 percent. Parts of Vitebskaya Street and Bolshaya Akademicheskaya Street have already been built. There are five more complex objects in the works, including the connection of Mosfilmovskaya Street with Aminevskoe Highway and General Dorokhov Street.

In addition, it is planned to build 30 new ones and reconstruct 15 existing ones on the North-Western Expressway. In total, the new highway will have 12 overground and 18 underground crossings, which will make it possible to organize traffic without traffic lights on a significant part of the chord.

The section from Rublevskoye Highway to Balaklavsky Prospekt has already been put into operation: two overpasses on Rublevskoye Highway and pedestrian crossings have been built there.

Among the plans is the construction of a multi-level interchange at the intersection of Varshavskoe Highway (three lanes in each direction). On this section, a tunnel will be built under the Varshavskoye Highway, an overpass towards the Varshavskoye Highway, two turning ramps and side passages for passing turning flows of public transport, an overpass under the Paveletsky direction of the Moscow Railway, as well as a bridge over the Chertanovka River and an underground pedestrian crossing.

At the same time, construction of a railway overpass on the Paveletsky direction of the Moscow Railway will begin this year. According to the project, the first and second tracks will pass along one overpass, the third existing track and the fourth promising track will pass along the second.

And here is a 790-meter overpass at the intersection of Warsaw Highway and Balaklava Avenue in 2018. As part of the project, two pedestrian crossings are being built across Kantemirovskaya Street: one aboveground - at the intersection with 1st Kotlyakovsky Lane, and the second underground - near house No. 58. Double-glazed windows with noise-proof valves are being installed in nearby houses. In total, builders will replace more than 1.8 thousand window blocks.

The new North-Eastern Expressway will run from the Oktyabrskaya Railway (western) and will provide access to the capital of the Moscow-St. Petersburg toll highway. The plan for the construction of new ones was approved in 2012. At the same time, the projects of both chords - both western and eastern - were agreed upon. At the same time, among other measures, reconstruction of the intersection of Leningradsky Prospekt and st. Trade union with MKAD.

Highway location

Along the periphery, the North-Eastern Expressway should connect the northern and south-eastern parts of the capital, that is, the most densely populated areas.

In the east, in one part it will run along the Moscow Ring Road. This road will connect such major highways as Shchelkovskoye, Altufevskoye, Izmailovskoye and Otkrytoye. From the Businovskaya interchange, motorists will travel in two directions - to the northwest and northeast. At the same time, the Moscow Ring Road in the south will have to be expanded if the authorities decide to extend both highways to it. It is also possible that these highways will be connected by the Southern Road. This was stated back in 2012 by the Deputy Mayor for Urban Development

The North-Eastern Expressway, firstly, will connect the capital with the western bypass of Odintsovo, and secondly, it will go down in the east to the Veshnyaki-Lyubertsy interchange. After this, it is planned to build a highway along which it will be possible to travel to Noginsk.

Project of the section of the highway from the highway. Enthusiasts to the Moscow Ring Road

A special feature of the North-East Expressway project is that it is being developed in parts.

In 2012, designs for sections were approved - from the Businovskaya interchange to the street. Festivalnaya and the overpass at the intersection of the street. Taldomskaya from Oktyabrskaya railway. The following competitions were announced in 2013:

In the area from the highway Enthusiasts to the ring road.
In the area from the highway Izmailovsky to sh. Shchelkovsky.

In the first case, the following events were planned:

Construction of an interchange at the intersection of the chord with the street. Kuskovskaya.
Construction of an overpass at the intersection with the street. Youth.
Construction of a pedestrian crossing in the place where the North-Eastern Expressway approaches the Moscow Ring Road.
Reconstruction of the Kazan and Gorky railway lines.
Connection of the highway with the Veshnyaki-Lyubertsy interchange in the area of the "Shosse Entuziastov" station on the 8th kilometer of the Moscow Ring Road.

The plan also provided for the construction of pedestrian crossings in the following areas:

Between Vostruhina and Krasny Kazanets streets.
Between the first Kazan clearing and the First Mayevka alley.
Near the platform and exits (south and north) of the Vykhino metro station.
Between Kuskovskaya clearing and Mayevok street.
Between Karacharovskoe highway and Kuskovskaya.

The length of this section was more than 8.5 km.

Project Shchelkovskoye - Izmailovskoye Highway

The project included such activities as the construction of conventions:

On Shchelkovskoe highway towards the center.
Through Tkatskaya Street to Okruzhny Proezd.
On Okruzhny passage in the direction of the highway. Enthusiasts.
From Shchelkovskoye Highway towards Otkrytoye Highway along the chord.

And also races:

towards the Open Highway from the street. Soviet;
on Shchelkovskoe highway from st. Soviet towards the region;
from the 1st lane of the Izmailovsky menagerie.

This section of the North-East Expressway is equipped with three overpasses. It is planned to build a tunnel with two lanes, two overhead and eight

The triangle will replace the fourth transport ring

As already mentioned, it is possible that two new highways, the North-East and North-West, will be connected by the South Road. The latter will begin at the exit to New Riga, and then to Aminevskoye Highway. However, other projects are in development. In the event that the chords are extended to the Moscow Ring Road, instead of the CTK you will get a triangle. The decision in this case will depend on which project will be cheaper. The lack of transverse highways is something that has recently become clearly evident in such a large metropolis as Moscow. It is for this reason that the North-Eastern Expressway will be stretched across the entire city.

Travel along two overpasses of the exit, as well as along the railway overpass across the highway. Entuziastov opened back in 2012. Among other things, a section of the main road with a length of almost 2 km was built. In total, the project covers approximately 25 km of roadway. The section of the ChKT between the highway. Entuziastov and Izmailovsky should be commissioned in 2015.

Approximate cost of the project

It is expected that the construction of the North-Eastern Expressway will cost the Moscow authorities 70 billion rubles. Khusnullin reported back in August last year that expenses could amount to no more than 30 - 35 billion rubles.

The authorities had to look for the optimal balance between the cost and capacity of the future highway. If a large number of various types of artificial objects are built, the route will become faster, but also more expensive.

Competition: section from Shchelkovsky highway to Otkrytoye

At the beginning of this year, two overpasses were opened between Entuziastov Highway and Izmailovsky. The competition for the construction of the next section was announced in December 2013. Its results were summed up in early March of this year. It is planned to build at least three to four lanes in one direction only. The road will run along the Moscow Railway from Shchelkovskoye Highway to st. Losinoostrovskaya. The length of the section will be 3.2 km. This is approximately 10% of the total. According to the project, the following activities will also be carried out in this area:

construction of a transport interchange in the area where the highway intersects with the Open Highway;
construction of two exits to Otkrytoe Highway from the outside of the highway;
arrangement of passage under the Mytishchi overpass with the possibility of a turn.

In order for motorists to have the opportunity to exit from Shchelkovskoye Highway onto the highway towards the center, an overpass will be built. In the future it is planned to build another one. A right-turn exit will also be organized onto Losinoostrovskaya Street.

After completion of construction, the North-Eastern Expressway, the diagram of which is presented just above, will connect many important areas of the city. In 2014, 90 billion rubles were allocated for road construction in the capital. At the same time, it is planned to put into operation 76.6 km of newly built and reconstructed roads.
