Traffic has been launched at two interchanges on the M-3 "Ukraine" highway in the Moscow region.
The reconstruction project for the M-3 "Ukraine" highway, from km 65 to km 124 from Bekasovo to Maloyaroslavets, continues. Work on this project is divided into two phases, one for the Moscow and one for the Kaluga regions. As of today, traffic has been reopened at two interchanges in the Moscow region, at km 66 and km 77. Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin announced this.
"The M-3 'Ukraine' Highway connects Russia's capital with the southwestern regions and provides access to Belarus' highways. The road is a key link in the system of international transport corridors and plays a critical role for freight and passenger traffic. Active modernization of the highway is currently underway in the Moscow and Kaluga regions, which will significantly increase its capacity, improve road safety, and reduce transportation costs by reducing travel times. The work is progressing well, and there are tangible results. Today, traffic was launched at the new interchanges. Drivers are now able to use two interchanges—at the 66th and 77th kilometers—providing quick and safe access to the towns of Bekasovo and Kotovo," said Marat Khusnullin.
The interchange at km 66 to the village of Bekasovo includes seven exits. During construction, over 9,000 tons of asphalt concrete were laid, 3.4 kilometers of metal barrier fencing were installed, 1,200 square meters of horizontal markings were applied, and five culverts were installed. Sixty-eight outdoor lighting poles were also installed to improve visibility at night.

Seven exit ramps have also been created at the 77th-kilometer interchange on the Kotovo highway. During the work, 10,500 tons of asphalt concrete were laid, over 4 kilometers of metal barrier fencing were installed, 2,000 square meters of horizontal road markings were applied, eight culverts were installed, and 73 outdoor lighting poles were installed to ensure comfortable travel at night.
According to Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of the state-owned company Avtodor, the first stage of the M-3 "Ukraine" reconstruction project, covering the Moscow region from the 65th to the 86th km, includes the construction of four interchanges.
"To ensure comfortable and safe travel on our road network and improve connectivity between communities, we are building new interchanges. In addition to the interchanges at km 66 and 77 of the M-3 highway, traffic was previously opened at km 71 near Moskovskaya Street in Naro-Fominsk, as well as at km 85, which connects the communities of Nefedovo and Dedenyovo. Thanks to this, we have already increased the highway's capacity and traffic safety by eliminating at-grade intersections," noted Vyacheslav Petushenko.
