The saturation of Moscow roads with traffic requires the unloading of existing routes. A new project should solve this problem - the Central Ring Road (TsKAD). The 2014 scheme has now been adopted as a base for the implementation of the aforementioned large-scale construction. Let us dwell on this project of the Central Ring Road.
The main reasons for the construction
First of all, we need to talk about the main reasons that contributed to the emergence of the idea of the Central Ring Road. The 2014 scheme will help to understand the main premises.
The problem has long been ripe for a very high load of automobile roads in Moscow, as well as for those routes that serve directly to ensure transit traffic through the city. Congestion causes fairly frequent traffic jams in various sections of the highway, as well as increased wear of the roadway, which, in turn, causes the need for frequent unplanned repairs.
Just the question of redirecting traffic from the Moscow Ring Road and federal roads to other routes of communication gave rise to the idea of the Central Ring Road project. The objectives of this project can be easily understood only by looking at its plan, which we will consider in detail below.
Project implementation
At the official level, the idea of building a Central Ring Road appeared in 2001. Then the first road project appeared, approved by the Government of Russia. Initially, the construction of the highway was planned to begin in 2011. But for a number of reasons, at the end of 2013 there was not even an approved construction scheme. In this regard, in the same year, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev asked to speed up the process of preparation for the construction of the Central Ring Road. The 2014 scheme was supposed to accelerate the pace of the project. Therefore, after its development, many believed that construction would begin almost immediately. In August 2014, a capsule was even laid, indicating the beginning of work. The top leaders of Moscow and the Moscow region took part in this event. At the same time, preparatory work began, the construction of service communications of the first section of the highway, but it did not come to the construction of the roadway itself.
Even in 2015, the construction of the road did not begin. Then it was announced that the start of construction was postponed to February 2016. However, the deadlines for the completion of the construction of the Central Ring Road have so far remained unchanged. The construction of the road was planned to be completed by the start of the World Cup in 2018. But due to the constant postponement of construction and the economic crisis that Russia is currently experiencing, the deadline for project implementation was postponed for 2022-2025. Nevertheless, it remains to be planned to close the ring by 2018, and only work to expand the number of bands will continue. That is, in fact, the first cars will be able to drive along the road by the beginning of the world football championship.
At the moment, the only thing that really succeeded in achieving the construction of the Central Ring Road was the approved scheme of 2014. She will be the subject of our study.
Contractors and Contractors
Who will be implemented in the construction scheme of the Central Ring Road 2014? Avtodor will be the main curator of the project. It is this organization that holds a tender among potential contractors and selects the most worthy.
The initial developer of the first section of the road was Stroygazconsulting. But, given that in 2014 nothing was actually built, in 2015 Avtodor replaced this contractor with Crocus Group and Mostostroy N6. It is also known that the developer of the fifth section (circuit of the Central Ring Road, 2014) Avtodor appointed the company Ring Highway LLC.
Financing
Naturally, the implementation of any project is impossible without adequate funding. Currently, it has been decided that the flow of funds for the construction of the Central Ring Road will be carried out both from the state budget and by attracting private investment.
The total cost of the project is estimated at approximately 350 billion rubles, but due to the devaluation of the national currency and the emergence of unforeseen expenses, it can increase significantly.
There are also rumors in the community about cases of misuse of funds allocated for the project.
Main technical characteristics of the road
Now let's look at the main technical characteristics of the route, which provides for the new 2014 Circular Road Circuit.
The total length of the route should be 529.9 km. The number of lanes will vary from 3 to 8. In addition, it is planned to build a separation barrier. In normal sections of the route, the maximum permissible speed will be 80 km / h, and in high-speed sections - 140 km / h. But the fare for the latest motorists will have to pay money.
Building plots
What sections will the construction of the Central Ring Road be divided into? The 2014 scheme will allow us to answer this question in detail.
The construction implementation project involves five launch complexes. The first will be divided into two sections of the Central Ring Road (2014 scheme). Section 1 will have a length of 49.5 km. Its beginning is supposed to be in the city district of Moscow Domodedovo, and the end - in the Narofominsky district of the Moscow region. The site will also run through the Podolsky district of the Moscow region and the Trinity district of the capital. It will be crossed by such highways as the M-4 Don, M-2 Crimea, A-110 Kaluga Highway and A-107 MMK.
The second section of the Central Ring Road will begin at the junction with the fifth launch complex and will stretch to the second launch complex at the intersection with Minsk Highway. In addition, he will cross the Kiev highway. Its length will be 68.5 km. He will run through the Narofominsky district of the Moscow region and the Trinity district of the capital.
The total length of the first launch complex will be 118 km, and, according to the initial plan, its construction should be completed by the end of 2016.
Second launch complex
The second launch complex will begin from the final point of the first at the intersection with the Minsk highway and will last to the Moscow Big Ring and the village of Tuchkovo on the Central Ring Road (2014 scheme). The Ruzsky district, which includes this locality, will thus also be included in the system of this highway. The track at the second launch complex will intersect with Volokolamsk and Leningradskoye highways. Its total length will be 100 km.
The construction of this launch complex will begin later than all the others (in 2018), and the date of its final completion has not yet been precisely determined.
Information about the third launch complex
The length of the third section of the Central Ring Road will be 105.3 kilometers. It will be located between the fifth and fourth launch complexes. He will join the latter at the junction with the Gorky highway. In addition, the route of this complex will intersect with the Yaroslavl and Dmitrov highway. It will pass completely through the territory of the Moscow region, without crossing the line of the city of Moscow.
The construction of this section of the Central Ring Road is planned to begin in 2016, and to be completed in 2018, but both terms can be shifted upwards.
Data on the fourth launch complex
The fourth launch complex will stretch between the first and third. Its beginning will be at the intersection with the Gorky Highway, and the end will be on Kashirsky Highway, where it will join the first launch complex. In addition, this section will have an intersection with the Ryazan highway.
The total length of the route of the fourth launch complex will be 63.6 km. Like the third, this section of the road will completely pass through the territory of the Moscow region.
The construction period of this part of the Central Ring Road is planned for 2016-2018.
Starting complex of the Central Ring Road № 5
The fifth launch complex is the shortest. Its length will be only 76.0 km. It starts from the junction with the first and adjoins the third section, intersecting with the Kiev, Minsk, Volokolamsk and Leningrad highways, and closes the Central Ring Road (2014 scheme). Istra district is the last administrative unit along which the route of this complex runs.
At the fifth launch complex of the highway, the longest non-speed free section. You also need to point out one more feature of this segment of the Central Ring Road (2014 scheme). Zvenigorod, through which it passes, is one of the few settlements that lie directly on the road. Most of the other settlements she leaves aside.
The implementation of the construction of this section was planned to begin in 2015, and completed in 2018. But, due to the delay, the work will only begin in February 2016.
