Bypass of Severomorsk, Murmansk region
By 2030, 50 bypasses around populated areas will be built in Russia on the instructions of President Vladimir Putin. In particular, under the national project "Infrastructure for Life", work is underway this year on the construction of four such facilities with a total length of more than 30 km on the regional road network alone, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.
"Road bypasses around cities play an important role in relieving the street network and increasing traffic safety. They allow transit transport to be routed outside of populated areas, which reduces traffic jams, reduces noise levels and improves the environmental situation. Thanks to such solutions, drivers do not have to waste time driving slowly through the city, and residents receive calmer and more comfortable streets. By 2030, on the instructions of the President of Russia, Rosavtodor, the State Company Avtodor, and the regions are planning to build more than 50 bypasses of populated areas. Of these, about 36 bypasses of cities will be built on federal highways. No less large-scale work is being carried out on the regional network: out of 14 planned bypasses of populated areas, six have been built and put into operation. Active work within the framework of the national project Infrastructure for Life is being carried out at four more sites: in Perm Krai, Astrakhan and Pskov Regions, and the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. As a result of the commissioning of the facilities, we will not only receive alternative routes for motorists, but will also create the opportunity for the sustainable development of urban infrastructure," said Marat Khusnullin.
Bypasses of populated areas help in the creation and optimization of transport routes, allowing transit freight traffic to be diverted outside residential areas and reducing the load on the road network.
"Two significant regional facilities have already been commissioned this year. Thus, the construction of the northwestern bypass of the city of Kemerovo, 47.6 km long, has been completed. It was built in three years instead of the planned six years. Another important project is the second stage of the construction of the bypass of Ruzayevka in the Republic of Mordovia. The length of the new road is 4.1 km. These measures have significantly relieved the street and road network of populated areas from transit transport, which has improved the quality of life of people and positively affected the environmental situation," emphasized Minister of Transport Andrei Nikitin.
Under the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, not only are new bypasses being built, but existing ones are also being updated.
"Updating and maintaining city bypasses in good transport and operational condition is also an important task of the national project "Infrastructure for Life". In the current road season alone, repair, major repair and reconstruction work is underway at 34 such sites. Their total length is 102.1 km," said Igor Kostyuchenko, Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency.
The construction of the northern bypass of Pskov continues in the Pskov Region. Its length will be 8.7 km. At present, the construction readiness of the second launch complex is 22%. The bypass will become the most important link in the region's transport system. It will connect the regional and federal highways: Pskov – Gdov – Slantsy – Kingisepp – Kuzemkino – Krakolye and A-212 Pskov – Izborsk – border with the Republic of Estonia. In addition, the bypass will provide convenient access to the special economic zone "Moglino", which will have a positive effect on the industrial potential of the Pskov Region.
In the Republic of North Ossetia – Alania, a 7.1 km long bypass of the village of Arkhonskaya will be built. It will be connected to the regional highway Vladikavkaz – Ardon – Chikola – Lesken-2, which connects four districts of North Ossetia and is the main transport corridor for freight and passenger transportation across the territory of the republic. The project includes the construction of a bridge across the Gizeldon River with a length of 92.3 running meters and two overpasses – at the intersection with the main highway at the entrance to the village and at the intersection with the inter-municipal road Arkhonskaya – BMK – Khumalag – "Kavkaz".
In addition to the construction of new bypasses of populated areas, much attention is paid to the modernization of existing ones. In the Republic of Adygea, a 5 km section of the Maikop bypass has been repaired. The highway connects the regional road Maikop – Giaginskaya – Psebay – Zelenchukskaya – Karachayevsk and two federal highways: Maikop – Tuapse and R-217 "Kavkaz". In addition, the Maikop bypass is a key transport artery not only for local residents, but also for guests of the republic, as it is part of the tourist route to the Black Sea coast. The highway can also be used to reach the mountain attractions of the region.
