The government is carrying out systematic work to develop the country's road network. This includes the construction of new roads and the renovation of existing highways. Thus, in the Rostov Region, the reconstruction of the M-4 "Don" highway from the 933rd to the 1024th km is ongoing. More than 207 thousand cubic meters of soil have already been excavated at the site, and the construction and reconstruction of 12 artificial structures has begun. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
"The formation of the country's road framework is an integral part of its strategic development. To improve the transport accessibility of the regions, the most important highways, such as the M-4 "Don", are being actively reconstructed. In the Rostov Region, work is underway on a section more than 90 km long, which passes through several districts and the cities of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky and Shakhty. This route is the main artery leading to the Black Sea coast. It contributes to the development of domestic tourism and the economy of the southern regions of the country. The highway is also part of the North-South corridor and helps establish cooperation with friendly countries, so its modernization is extremely important. Thus, the reconstruction project provides for the expansion of the road to six lanes to improve safety and throughput. A lot of work has already been done. In addition, the construction of four overpasses for future interchanges, the reconstruction of three bridges and five overpasses has begun at the site. “In total, during the large-scale operation, existing bridge structures will be repaired and four new ones will be built,” said Marat Khusnullin.
The Deputy Prime Minister specified that four new overpasses for future interchanges are being built at 936 km, 939 km, 1013 km and 1023 km. Currently, supports are being installed, and span structures are being prepared for installation. Specialists are carrying out preparatory work on bridges at 950 km and 979 km. At the same time, reconstruction work is being carried out on overpasses at 983 km, 990 km, 998 km, 1000 km, 1001 km and the bridge at 1009 km, where it is planned to dismantle obsolete structures and build new ones. It is also planned to reconstruct overpasses at 944 km, 960 km, 964 km, 969 km, 982 km, 984 km, 993 km, and 1002 km.
According to the Chairman of the Board of the state company Avtodor, Vyacheslav Petushenko, the M-4 Don is one of the most popular roads among motorists, so work on the site is organized in such a way as to maintain the usual traffic.
"To maintain the usual traffic intensity during the reconstruction, we are setting up temporary bypass roads with the same number of lanes as on the main highway. This ensures uninterrupted traffic on this section of the road and maintains a high pace even during rush hour. To date, a significant amount of excavation work has been completed at the site. More than 207 thousand cubic meters of soil have been excavated, and about 130 thousand cubic meters of embankment have been poured for the construction of temporary bypass roads. The reconstruction of this section of the M-4 "Don" is a continuation of the modernization of the section from the 804th to the 933rd km, which was completed last year. The work will improve road safety and make trips to the south even more comfortable and faster for road users," said Vyacheslav Petushenko.
