On July 8, 2021, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched traffic along the entire length of the Central Ring Road (TsKAD) in the Moscow Region. The highway has become one of the largest projects in recent years. Since the launch of traffic on this highway, motorists have made more than 322 million trips, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.
"The Central Ring Road, which is over 340 km long, is of great importance for the economy, logistics and ecology of Moscow, the Moscow Region and neighboring regions. This modern highway has allowed transit transport to be taken beyond the 13 urban districts of the Moscow Region and directly connected the regional districts. It has a high throughput capacity and provides all the necessary conditions for safe travel. With the opening of the Central Ring Road, it was possible to significantly reduce the load on the Moscow Ring Road, the A-107 and A-108 highways, increase the transport accessibility of the capital's airports for residents of the region, and connect key highways, including regional and federal highways of the Moscow Region. We see that the Central Ring Road is in demand among motorists. Since the launch of traffic along its entire length, more than 322 million trips have been recorded on the road," said Marat Khusnullin.
The Deputy Prime Minister added that travel on toll sections of the Central Ring Road allows for travel time to be reduced by almost three times compared to alternative routes. This was made possible by the absence of traffic lights and pedestrian crossings, as well as at-grade intersections with other roads. The total length of these sections is 264 km.
The head of the state company Avtodor, Vyacheslav Petushenko, noted that the most popular section of the Central Ring Road since the launch of traffic along its entire length remains the section between the M-4 Don highway and the Kaluga Highway. The average daily traffic intensity along it is about 19 thousand trips.
"The section from Domodedovo to the M-7 Volga highway is in second place. Over the past few years, an average of about 17.5 thousand trips per day have been recorded here. The bypass of the village of Malye Vyazemy, which was put into operation in December last year, rounds out the top three. It immediately became popular among drivers, and the average daily traffic intensity on it today reaches 14.1 thousand trips. Traffic on the section from M-7 Volga to M-11 Neva also remains consistently high. On average, 10.6 thousand trips per day are recorded here. On the section from M-10 Rossiya to M-11 Neva, about 7 thousand trips per day are recorded," Vyacheslav Petushenko noted.
Work on upgrading the Central Ring Road and improving convenience for motorists continues. Construction of a transport interchange at the intersection with Dmitrovskoe Highway is currently underway.
