The Moscow government has approved three transport infrastructure development projects. The corresponding decrees were signed Sergei Sobyanin.

New crossing over the tracks of the fourth Moscow Central Diameter

Thus, on the section between the Novogireevo and Reutov stations, a pedestrian crossing will be built across the tracks of the fourth Moscow Central Diameter (MCD-4).

An overpass approximately 100 meters long will connect residential areas in the Veshnyaki (Ketcherskaya Street) and Novogireevo (Fryazevskaya Street) districts, providing convenient and safe access to numerous educational institutions (schools, the Moscow College of Architecture and Urban Planning, and A.S. Griboyedov Moscow State University), as well as sports facilities (a skate park, the "Academy of Water"), the Museum of Automotive Modernism, and other popular attractions. Elevators will be installed for pedestrians with limited mobility.

Currently, to cross the MCD-4 tracks, local residents must use the crossing at Novogireevo station, located approximately 600 meters from the planned pedestrian crossing.

Transport infrastructure in the former industrial zone "Yuzhny Port"

Furthermore, a land use plan for the construction of transport infrastructure in the former Yuzhny Port industrial zone in Pechatniki has been approved. Plans call for the construction of a Yuzhny Port metro station, which will be part of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya Line. Furthermore, the section of the metro line between Pechatniki and Kozhukhovskaya will be reconstructed, and Moscow's second combined highway and metro tunnel, 1.3 kilometers long, with two to three lanes in each direction, will be built. The tunnel will be part of a new highway connecting the Third Ring Road and Lyublinskaya Street.

A similar tunnel was created during the construction of a new section of the Sokolnicheskaya metro line at the intersection of Kaluzhskoye Shosse and the Solntsevo-Butovo-Varshavskoye Shosse highway. It opened in June 2019.

In total, the project will involve the construction and reconstruction of approximately 8.2 kilometers of street and road network, including sections of Yuzhnoportovaya Street, 2nd Yuzhnoportovy Drive, and planned driveways No. 3502, 1423, and others.

For the convenience of city residents, three off-street pedestrian crossings will be built: near house 18, building 1 on 2nd Yuzhnoportovy Proezd, at the intersection of Proektiruyemy Proezd No. 1423 and Yuzhnoportovaya Street, and near the Pechatniki metro station.

The approved planning project is part of a larger project to create the Yuzhny Port-Tekstilshchiki economic activity center. A total of 18.8 million square meters of public, commercial, industrial, and residential buildings are planned for construction on the former Yuzhny Port industrial zone, which occupies approximately 35 percent of the Pechatniki district.

Changes in the Pokrovskoe-Streshnevo district

In addition, a street and road network plan was approved for the Pokrovskoe-Streshnevo district, from Pokhodny Proezd to Skhodnensky Tupik. The project includes the construction and reconstruction of 2.5 kilometers of streets, including the construction of an 86-meter bridge over the Skhodnya River, two lanes in each direction, the reconstruction of existing roads, and the creation of new ones. Furthermore, the roundabout intersection of Trikotazhny Proezd and Proektiruyemy Proezd No. 4060 will be reconstructed.

To service surface urban transit, a terminal station building and a parking and turning area will be constructed. Additionally, additional traffic lights and modern bus shelters will be installed. Pedestrians will benefit from convenient sidewalks and overpasses.

The implementation of the planning project will improve transportation services to residential areas of the Pokrovskoe-Streshnevo district, with a population of over 67,000, and provide convenient access to the Tushinskaya metro station and the Tushinskaya station on the Second Moscow Central Diameter.

Regulation of heat supply is ensured by two main parameters: by decreasing or increasing the temperature of the coolant and by increasing or decreasing its volume.

Petr Biryukov emphasized that the adjustments are carried out automatically under the control of the Moscow United Energy Company's dispatch services, based on weather sensor readings and dispatching systems, including those located at heating stations.

The Krasnogorsk commuter route maintenance facility has reopened as part of the Moscow-Region project. Buses on route No. 1981 are now being serviced there, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. Maxim Liksutov.

"Following Sergei Sobyanin's instructions, we continue to develop ground transportation in the Moscow region as part of the Moscow-Region project. To improve the efficiency of suburban routes, we have reopened the Mosgortrans site in Krasnogorsk. In the future, we will service more routes to the surrounding Moscow region from here," noted Maxim Liksutov.

Workstations were set up at the site for specialists, including medical personnel, dispatchers, and other staff. Utilities were installed and equipment was commissioned at the car wash complex, and the daily technical inspection line was reopened.

By 2025, the Moscow transport system will include 25 commuter bus routes, connecting the capital with nearby towns and villages in the northwest and west of the region. This decision is the result of close cooperation between the governments of Moscow and the Moscow region. Its goal is to create a unified, convenient, and predictable transportation system for everyone who travels daily between the capital and the region.

All new routes will be served by buses that meet Moscow public transport standards. These are modern, low-floor, Russian-made vehicles equipped with climate control, USB charging ports, and media screens. They are adapted for transporting passengers in wheelchairs, bicycles, and strollers. A special "Moscow-to-Region" design has been developed for these buses to make them easily distinguishable from other city buses.

Since the beginning of the year, more than 20 interregional routes have been added to the Moscow transport system. Over 150 buses operate on these routes on weekdays, connecting the capital with nearby cities in the Moscow region. The new routes are compatible with Unified Suburban Zone passes with unlimited trips, as well as Moscow and Moscow Region social cards. This allows passengers to save up to 60 percent on their annual fares. A monthly pass costs 3,940 rubles, a three-month pass costs 10,080 rubles, and an annual pass costs 29,400 rubles. Students and schoolchildren are offered discounted rates of 1,390 rubles for 30 days and 3,960 rubles for 90 days.

The launch of each route is accompanied by extensive preparatory work between the Moscow and Moscow region transportation systems. This includes checking route routes and ensuring travel safety, updating existing schedules, testing systems, and informing residents of changes before the launch of new bus routes and during their first days of operation. Moscow is developing its surface urban transportation, which improves the quality of life. Thanks to regular fleet renewal, the average age of buses in the capital remains one of the lowest in Russia and Europe.

By 2028, at least 30 percent of all suburban routes will be included in the capital's public transportation system. The project's main goal is to make suburban travel for Moscow and Moscow region residents as comfortable as travel within the city.

New routes from Moscow to the Moscow region will begin operating on December 13.Passengers made a million trips on Moscow's suburban transport routes.Another 12 suburban Moscow transport routes will appear by the end of the year.
