“A lot of work is being done under the national project “Infrastructure for Life” to update the road network, including federal highways that take on heavy traffic and, as a result, a large load on the road surface. One of these highways is the R-22 “Caspian” highway, which connects the regions of the central and southern parts of Russia. Currently, various types of work are being carried out on the road. Thus, on the section from the 356th to the 371st km in the Tambov region, specialists are busy widening the roadway. The readiness of the facility has exceeded 50%, road workers are on schedule. The result of the work will be a four-lane road with an axial barrier fence, which will significantly reduce the risk of head-on collisions. The capacity of the section will increase to 26 thousand cars per day. I am confident that thanks to the systematic work and responsible approach of Rosavtodor, the team of the acting governor of the region Evgeny Pervyshov Tambov residents and users of the highway will receive a high-quality, updated section within the established time frame,” said Marat Khusnullin.
At present, all layers of road surface (except for the top) have been completed on 13 out of 15 km for two new lanes of the road, which are already used for traffic. Work has been fully completed on the construction of two turnaround loops, which provide a safe exit from the federal highway to the settlements of Fonvizino, Novospasskoye, Zavodskoy, Ilovay-Dmitrievskoye and Staroseslavino. The process of destructuring cement concrete slabs on the old two lanes of the road and the construction of a third turnaround loop are underway.
In addition, construction of bridge structures continues on this section. The installation of supports for the left half of the roadway of the railway overpass at the 359th km of the route has been completed. The specialists plan to expand the bridge over the Ilovai River to four traffic lanes this year.
"The issue of road quality for residents of the Tambov Region is one of the most important. We are improving the road network within the framework of national projects, federal and regional programs. The R-22 "Caspian" highway is of paramount importance for us. It provides transport links not only between the northern and southern territories of the region, but also with other subjects of the country. I am glad that the planned actions are being implemented and very soon another section of a modern comfortable highway will appear," commented the acting head of the Tambov Region, Yevgeny Pervyshov.
Completion of the major repairs of the 15-kilometer section of the R-22 “Caspian” highway is planned for 2026.
The work is being carried out by the Federal State Institution “Moscow-Volgograd Federal Highway Administration”, which is subordinate to Rosavtodor.
