In the Shcherbinka district of the Novomoskovsky administrative district, a pedestrian crossing under the tracks of the second Moscow Central Diameter (MCD-2) was opened. It is located near house 8 on Novostroevskaya Street. The crossing was built using modern methods of closed tunneling. This was reported by the head of the capital's Department of Construction of Transport and Engineering Infrastructure Vasily Desyatkov.
"The pedestrian crossing was built under the existing MCD-2 tracks. When constructing the underground part — the tunnel shaft — microtunneling technology was used to install an advanced protective screen made of pipes with a diameter of one meter. This allowed the work to be carried out without stopping the movement of trains on the section of the diameter with intensive traffic. In total, the construction of this facility took a little more than two years," Vasily Desyatkov noted.
From the construction zone, specialists removed existing underground utility lines that were interfering with the work and laid new ones so that the pedestrian crossing would function without interruption and be safe for people.
For the convenience of people with limited mobility, the passage has two elevators, tactile tiles, contrasting markings and ramps.
The specialists landscaped the adjacent streets and territory, further decorating the new district of Moscow.
The pedestrian crossing connected two residential areas from Novostroevskaya and Zheleznodorozhnaya streets, conditionally separated by railroad tracks. Residents will be able to safely and comfortably get to schools, kindergarten and shops located in this place.
Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin announced the opening pedestrian crossing under the tracks of MCD-2 in Shcherbinka.
