Moscow central diameters will be extended from the capital to the centers of neighboring regions. About one of the major transport projects, which are planned to be implemented in the coming years, spoke Sergei Sobyanin in an interview "Komsomolskaya Pravda".

"If we take an interregional project, this is the development of a central transport hub – the extension of our central diameters to the capitals of the regions that surround the Moscow region: Yaroslavl, Tula, Ivanovo, Tver, Smolensk. We are trying to do it with minimal capital costs, but we are building logistics in such a way as to increase the frequency of movement, the comfort of movement, and integrate it into the existing diameters," the Mayor of Moscow said.

He gave an example: it is very difficult to get from Smolensk to Moscow by suburban train today. As a result, people leave for the capital and stay there. If normal timed traffic is established, then it will be possible to travel from a neighboring region to Moscow to work and back. This will reduce the concentration of the population in the metropolis and make the placement of labor resources more comfortable.

Among the largest transport projects of the coming years, Sergei Sobyanin named the construction of the Moscow-Saint Petersburg high-speed railway (HSR).

"This is the first such project in Russia. And I am convinced that it should not be the only one. Railways are undergoing a certain revolution. HSR is the next generation of railways, such as they should be at a new stage of technological development," the Mayor of Moscow emphasized.

Among the most important city transport projects, Sergei Sobyanin named the construction of the metro, as well as the connection of the Solntsevo-Butovo road with the Moscow High-Speed Diameter.
