Volgogradsky Prospekt is one of the largest outbound highways in Moscow. More than 860 thousand people live in the houses located next to it. More than 110 thousand cars drive along this avenue per day, and the passenger flow of 24 city transport routes is 120 thousand people daily.
The comprehensive improvement of Volgogradsky Prospekt and Marxistskaya Street began in April 2025. Work is being carried out on the section from the Garden Ring to the Moscow Ring Road. Its total length is 12.5 kilometers.
The main objective is to make the urban environment more functional and comfortable for local residents, while maintaining the transport purpose of the highway.
Instead of the outdated stops along the avenue, 30 modern pavilions will be installed. Thanks to the infrastructure upgrade, as well as due to the adjustment of traffic lights and the provision of priority to city transport, its speed will increase by 20 percent.
About 490 benches and trash bins will be placed on sidewalks and in other suitable places. 26 informational steles will help to find your way around.
It will be lighter and safer in the evening and at night thanks to the installation of more than a thousand energy-saving lamps. In addition, 1055 old gas-discharge lamps will be replaced with LED ones. Contrast lighting poles will be installed at unregulated pedestrian crossings.
Volgogradsky Prospekt will become much greener: previously lost lawns will be restored here. More than 1,300 large trees will be planted along the highway, including in the area of the exit to the Moscow Ring Road. Four green islands with decorative compositions of coniferous plants will be arranged on the scenic sections of the highway.
To improve the appearance of the avenue, decorative fencing with an individual pattern will be installed along industrial enterprises and garage complexes. Ventilation shafts and other engineering structures will receive decorative cladding. In addition, the dog walking area near house 187/16 will be updated.
Specialists will replace the pavement surfaces (about 105.3 thousand square meters) and roads (111.4 thousand square meters). Overhead cable lines will be moved underground and an additional drainage system will be installed.
Over 380 people and over 70 units of equipment are involved in the work. The improvement of Volgogradsky Prospekt with Marxistskaya Street is planned to be completed this fall.
