Shchyolkovskoye Highway is one of the largest outbound highways in Moscow, with about 570,000 city residents living nearby. It handles more than 22,000 vehicles per day. There are 51 public transport routes along the highway, with a daily passenger flow of 250,000 people.
The comprehensive improvement of Shchelkovskoye Shosse, Krasnoprudnaya and Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya streets began in April 2025. Specialists are carrying out work on the section from Komsomolskaya Square to the Moscow Ring Road with a total length of 8.9 kilometers. The main objective is to make the urban environment more functional and comfortable for local residents, while maintaining the transport function of the highway.
The implementation of the project will reduce the load on sections of Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya Street from Preobrazhensky Val Street to Khalturinskaya Street by seven percent, Shchyolkovskoye Highway from Montazhnaya Street to the exit to the Moscow High-Speed Diameter by 11 percent, Khalturinskaya Street from Otkrytoye Highway to Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya Street by six percent.
Instead of outdated stops, specialists will install nine modern pavilions. Thanks to the infrastructure upgrade, as well as due to the adjustment of traffic lights and the provision of priority to city transport, its travel speed will increase by 17 percent.
More than 720 benches and trash bins will be placed on the sidewalks and in other suitable places. 38 new information steles will help to find your way around. Shchyolkovskoye Highway will become lighter and safer in the evening and at night thanks to the replacement of 70 lanterns and more than 1.6 thousand old gas-discharge lamps with LED ones. At unregulated pedestrian crossings, specialists will install contrast lighting supports.
By creating 123 thousand square meters of lawns and planting more than 700 large trees, Shchyolkovskoye Highway will become much greener. To add color to the autumn-winter landscape, four decorative compositions of coniferous plants will be created on the scenic sections of the highway.
To improve the appearance of the highway, decorative cladding will appear near ventilation shafts and other engineering structures. Thanks to it, they will become attractive accents of the urban environment.
The specialists will also replace the surface of about 150 thousand square meters of sidewalks and more than 450 thousand square meters of roads, remove overhead cable lines underground and install an additional drainage system.
At the moment, 43 percent of the work has been completed. About 240 people and more than 70 units of equipment are involved.
"We began the comprehensive improvement of Shchyolkovskoye Highway with Krasnoprudnaya and Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya Streets in April 2025. Large-scale, voluminous work is being carried out on the section from Komsomolskaya Square to the Moscow Ring Road. We plan to finish them this fall," the Moscow Mayor wrote in
