Marat Khusnullin: Traffic has been launched on the reconstructed overpass on the Adler bypass

Opening of traffic on the reconstructed overpass on the A-149 Adler – Krasnaya Polyana highway.

The opening of traffic on the reconstructed overpass on the A-149 Adler – Krasnaya Polyana highway took place. It is part of the future interchange at the eastern portal of the Adler bypass, which will later become part of the prospective highway from the M-4 "Don" highway to Sochi and will connect the village of Kudepsta with the village of Vysokoe. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"A developed road network with reliable artificial structures is one of the drivers of the country's socio-economic development. That is why we are actively working on updating and building modern highways. Thus, as part of this large-scale work, traffic was launched on the reconstructed overpass at 6 km of the A-149 Adler – Krasnaya Polyana highway. This is a major event in the framework of the implementation of the project to build an Adler bypass, which will later become part of the promising highway from the M-4 Don highway to Sochi and connect the village of Kudepsta with the village of Vysokoe. During the reconstruction of the overpass, specialists completed a large amount of work. By adding metal consoles on both sides, the existing overpass was widened to 13.5 m. Now Sochi residents and its guests will be able to move more conveniently both towards Adler and towards Krasnaya Polyana, bypassing a long turn through the entire interchange," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that the completion of the reconstruction of the overpass and the launch of vehicle traffic on it will allow them to begin the main task – the preparation and drilling of vehicle tunnels from Ivanovskaya Street to Kudepsta.

According to the Chairman of the Board of the state company Avtodor, Vyacheslav Petushenko, the reconstruction of the overpass began in November last year, and work on the site was carried out in two shifts.

"For the convenience of local residents, the overpass was equipped with noise protection screens, and in order to improve traffic safety, we installed lights, a barrier fence, and a storm drain. Also, during the reconstruction, we paid close attention to the quality and durability of the road surface. Thus, for laying asphalt concrete, we used the Superpave technology. This is an innovative method that takes into account climatic and transport loads, ensures high resistance of the surface to cracking due to temperature fluctuations, deformation and fatigue failure. This method helps to predict the condition of the road surface over time, taking into account the influence of climatic features of a particular region and the level of transport load," said Vyacheslav Petushenko.
