Over 850,000 people live near Profsoyuznaya Street. The 75 public transport routes serving it carry 275,000 passengers daily.

The comprehensive improvement of Profsoyuznaya Street and 60th Anniversary of October Avenue began in May 2025. Work covered a 12.4-kilometer stretch from Gagarin Square near the Third Ring Road to the Moscow Ring Road.

The main objective was to make the urban environment more comfortable and functional for local residents, while maintaining the transport function of the highway.

Along the entire outbound highway, sidewalks were reconstructed, the road surface was replaced, overhead cable lines were moved underground, and an additional drainage system was installed.

To improve traffic flow in the area of the Belyaevo metro station, a new left-turn lane was installed from Profsoyuznaya Street onto Miklukho-Maklaya Street. The additional lane increased capacity by 10 percent. A new pedestrian crossing was also installed at the intersection of Profsoyuznaya and Nametkina Streets. Residents can now cross the intersection safely and comfortably. Furthermore, a new type of elliptical concrete median barrier, over three kilometers long, was installed along the axis of Profsoyuznaya Street in the Belyaevo, Teply Stan, and Konkovo districts. This significantly improved traffic safety.

Around 20 modern shelters have been installed to replace outdated bus stops for passengers. Thirty-one new information boards will help passengers navigate the city. Over 1,100 streetlights have been replaced, making evenings and nighttime travel brighter and safer.

Furthermore, Profsoyuznaya Street and 60th Anniversary of October Avenue will become much greener: 66 hectares of lawns will be laid out and trees will be planted. Over 1,900 trees have already been planted, along with 20,000 woody plants and 300,000 perennials.

Sergei Sobyanin announced the completion of the second stage of the Sokolniki improvement project.Three Moscow highways will be decorated with linden, maple, and elm trees.Around 530,000 square meters of asphalt will be renewed in southwest Moscow.
