Section of the M-11 "Neva" highway.
Systematic infrastructure development efforts continue in Russia, with road network modernization a key element. Specifically, construction of a traffic interchange has begun in the Leningrad Region at kilometer 594 of the M-11 "Neva" federal highway, as announced by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
"We are taking a comprehensive approach to addressing the country's infrastructure development. This involves creating a unified, interconnected road network. To this end, we are upgrading existing highways, building new ones, and constructing interchanges. In response to public demand and at the initiative of the governors of the Leningrad and Novgorod regions, we have begun construction of a transport interchange at km 594 of the M-11 "Neva" Highway. This project will connect the federal and regional road networks with high-speed traffic, improving transport links between the regions. The interchange will provide a shorter route to Luga and the Murmansk Highway—towards Kirishi, Volkhov, Novaya Ladoga, Lodeynoye Pole, Petrozavodsk, and Murmansk—and will reduce travel time for local residents. The project will also drive the socioeconomic development of the regions. Logistics will be accelerated, new tourist routes will emerge, and opportunities for business development will open up. "Currently, a series of works are underway at the site to prepare the site for future construction, as well as construct the embankment," said Marat Khusnullin.
The interchange will be built at the intersection of the M-11 "Neva" highway and the 41A-004 "Pavlovo – Mga – Shapki – Lyuban – Oredezh – Luga" road in the Tosnensky District of the Leningrad Region. The future road will include eight exits.
According to Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of the state-owned company Avtodor, as part of the construction of the new facility, ramps connecting to the regional road are being built on the expressway.
"They are being built within the existing multifunctional road service zone located on the M-11 Neva Highway between Moscow and St. Petersburg. The ramps will provide a connection between the federal and regional highways in all directions. Outdoor lighting will be installed on the transition and expressway lanes and ramps of the interchange, and an automated traffic management system will be deployed, similar to other sections of our expressways. It will help monitor the traffic situation in this area in real time," noted Vyacheslav Petushenko.
The launch of traffic on the new transport interchange is planned for 2026.
