Transport interchanges are currently under construction at km 18 , 21 and 22 within the city of Balashikha, which will effectively separate traffic flows and create conditions for the continuous movement of transit traffic along the overpass part of the M-7 Volga highway. Completion of the construction work is scheduled for fourth quarter of 2017.
next step work on the implementation of the concept of traffic lightless traffic on the highway will be the reconstruction of the M-7 Volga highway for km 26 – 30
with the construction of a transport interchange for km 27
, as well as a major overhaul of the road section per km 23 - 26
. These projects involve the elimination six traffic lights on the section from the 23rd to the 30th km. The overhaul of the M-7 Volga highway on the section km 23 - km 26 is planned for 2018-2019.
Start construction and installation works as part of a major overhaul per km 26 - 30
scheduled for 2017
year.
The project for the construction of a transport interchange at km 43 of the M-7 Volga highway in the Moscow Region has been sent for approval to Glavgosexpertiza, with the allocation of appropriate funding, its implementation is scheduled for 2018-2019. As part of the interchange construction project, a traffic light will be eliminated at km 43 of the M-7 Volga highway within the boundaries of the village of Obukhovo.
Currently, the project for the construction of a transport interchange at km 50 near the city of Noginsk, Moscow Region, is undergoing approval of documentation for planning the territories, after which the project will be sent to Glavgosexpertiza. Its implementation is scheduled for 2018-2019. The project will eliminate the traffic light at km 50 of the M-7 motorway. The project for the overhaul of the section of km 57 - 60 of the M-7 Volga highway is also under examination, within the framework of which it is planned to install a turning loop with the subsequent elimination of the traffic light at km 57. The implementation of all work is scheduled for 2018 - 2019.
In 2017, a major overhaul of the M-7 Volga highway will be carried out on the section km 83 - 94, which provides for the elimination of the traffic light at km 88 in the village of Malaya Dubna.
A major overhaul at km 94-118 until 2019 will allow the elimination of all traffic lights within the city of Pokrov (5 traffic lights) and the village of Kirzhach (1 traffic light).
In 2017, a large-scale overhaul is being completed on the section km 145 - 156 of the M-7 Volga highway in the city of Lakinsk (final stage - km 144 - km 145, km 149 - km 151), within which all traffic lights will be eliminated.
In 2017, a major overhaul will begin on the section of km 156 - 169 of the M-7 Volga highway, which involves the installation of three turning loops and the construction of an elevated pedestrian crossing at km 168, as well as the elimination of all traffic lights. This year, work will be launched at km 167 - 169. The completion of the overhaul is scheduled for 2019.

Around the town of Pokrov, Petushinsky district, Vladimir region, through which the federal highway M7 passes, a ring bypass road will be built. On July 11, this was stated at least twice by the governor of the Vladimir region, Svetlana Orlova, while on a working trip to the Petushinsky district.
"I SORRY YOU ALL"
Governor Orlova first touched upon the topic of overhaul of the M7 highway at a meeting with local entrepreneurs at the site of the Ellara drug manufacturing plant.

Currently, on the federal highway in the Petushinsky district, repair work is being carried out on bridges across the Tanka (in Omutishchi) and Kirzhach () rivers.
Svetlana Orlova told the entrepreneurs that the repair of the M7 was being completed, apologized to the residents of the Petushinsky district for the inconvenience, but made it clear that they should be patient, because after the repair the federal highway would be "will be illuminated and practical accident-free".
As for Pokrov specifically, a ring bypass road will be built around this city. The governor said that this issue with the locals “we talked, consulted, discussed several times”.
Svetlana Orlova, Governor of the Vladimir Region:
I apologize to all of you [for the inconvenience], because you are the one who encounters it the most here, but it will be a good route - [in Lakinsk they will organize] 11 [aerial and underground pedestrian] crossings, it will be illuminated, practically accident-free
In Pokrov, we will make a ring road, a ring road, [my first deputy Alexei] Konyshev will talk about it
We, it seems, talked everything with the residents, consulted, discussed several times
And today I [at the Pokrovsky city market] met with ordinary citizens - of course, there were questions, but they were not tough, angry, they were so normal, working
People note that there are changes, and that the roads have been made, and the lighting has been done, but we need to strengthen where the youth can practice, sports facilities, so we will deal with this.
Several public activists and deputies of the City Council, on condition of anonymity, told Zebra TV that the residents of Pokrov do not know what is really happening either around the repair of the M7 federal highway in the city, or on the construction of a ring bypass road, since the authorities have nothing to do with the townspeople not normally discussed.
"THIS IS A ROAD OF DEATH IN GENERAL"
The second time Svetlana Orlova touched upon the topic of the M7 highway at a meeting with workers in health, education, culture and social institutions of the Petushinsky district, which took place in Petushki, at school No. 1.
The governor again announced the completion of repairs on the federal highway in November 2017, and admitted that the M7 highway "got everyone":
“I even asked to hang a poster: “We apologize [for the inconvenience]” - we have kind people, they will read the poster and swear less. But they didn’t take money from us [repair of M-7] - 8 billion, we are completing it with you.”
Orlova painted the following picture for the residents of the Petushinsky district: the route will be safe and accident-free. And she again announced that a ring road would be built around Pokrov:
“You will have a bypass in Pokrov. Well, this is a difficult topic, and, of course, about transitions, remember how many people died. It was generally the route of death.
The Governor of the Vladimir Region promised that on July 12, her first deputy for industry and economic policy, Alexei Konyshev ( he oversees road construction) will come to Pokrov to hold a series of meetings on repair issues on the M7 federal highway.

Svetlana Orlova, Governor of the Vladimir Region:
He [Vladimir Putin, when he was last year in Kovrov and Dobrograd during the forum "Russia is a sports power"] liked our roads
I told him that we had made one and a half thousand kilometers of roads in the region. Fifteen thousand!
We gave 22 billion from the budget to roads [over the past four years]. As you remember, there were simply no roads [before this].
In November we complete M-7. I understand that she got you...
Laugh
She got everyone. I even asked to hang a poster: “We apologize [for the inconvenience]” - we have kind people, they will read the poster and swear less
But the money [repair of M-7] was not taken from us - 8 billion, we are completing it with you
Now there are [only a plot within the village] Kirzhach [Petushinsky district] and [a plot within the city] Lakinsk [Sobinsky district]
The track in Lakinsk - you know, you're driving, [inaudible], the track is no worse, and even better, I personally take pride. There will be 11 transitions, it's safe. These crossings move - for example, there will be more pedestrians there, it can be moved a little
We are constantly in touch with the [management of the federal highway] M-7
[My first deputy Alexei] Konyshev will be with you tomorrow in Pokrov [to hold a meeting with residents on M-7 issues]
You will have a bypass in Pokrov. Well, this is a difficult topic, and, of course, about transitions, remember how many people died. It was generally the route of death
Everything, we complete it with you
If they also complete Balashikha, and 2 [hours]-2 [hours] 15 [minutes], and we are here with you
Interlocutors of Zebra TV from Pokrov reported that, according to their information, the leaders of the city and the Petushinsky district this morning went to the vice-governor Alexei Konyshev in Vladimir. They are not sure if the first vice-governor will come to Pokrov today, but they know for sure that so far there have been no announcements of Konyshev's meetings with local residents.
The reconstruction of the section of the M7 Volga highway in Balashikha is planned to be completed by the end of 2019, the press service of the FKU Uprdor Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod reported.
“Work on the reconstruction of the M7 Volga highway with the construction of a traffic interchange at km 27 in the area of the junction of the Vostochnoye Highway has entered an active phase. The road workers are dismantling the existing pavement, widening the subgrade, erecting supports for elevated pedestrian crossings. The project involves widening the roadway to six lanes on the section from 26 to 30 km and the construction of three turning loops with overpasses across the main road to organize U-turns and left-turn exits. The entire range of works is planned to be completed by the end of 2019,” the statement says.
It is clarified that on the 26th km of the route, one loop will allow the transport to turn towards Moscow, the other - turn towards Vladimir and drive in the direction of Vladimir-Vostochnoye Highway. At 30 km, the loop will provide a U-turn towards Moscow, travel in the direction of Vostochnoye Highway-Moscow and a turn from the M7 to the Sacramento microdistrict. In the course of the work, the existing pavement will be completely replaced, transitional and speed lanes will be installed, dividing and edge lanes, and slopes will be strengthened. The road workers will arrange local treatment facilities and a drainage system, rebuild bus stops and landing sites. To access the houses adjacent to the highway, transport and pedestrian paths will be built along the line of residential development.
“For road safety, barrier and railings will be installed, continuous electric lighting lines will be installed throughout the site. To separate pedestrian and vehicle flows, four stationary elevated pedestrian crossings with lifting elevator platforms for people with limited mobility will be erected, and footpaths and sidewalks will be equipped. It is also planned to install noise screens made of modern soundproof composite materials with a height of 4 m and a total length of over 4 km,” the press service noted.
The press service explained that thanks to the construction of turning loops in two levels with a total length of 272 m, three traffic lights will be eliminated. Six lanes of traffic will allow transit traffic to move without stopping, and two additional lanes of turning loops will ensure safe left turns on the M7 highway at the exit from Balashikha. The movement of traffic flows of the federal highway, the Eastern Highway and the city road network will be organized without intersections.
"The section will be equipped with an automatic traffic control system - a complex of information boards that will warn motorway users about traffic jams, adverse weather conditions, and so on, the Your Speed board and photo and video cameras," the press service added.
The press service concluded that the transport interchange at 27 km of the M7 Volga highway will significantly increase the throughput of the road by ensuring continuous traffic without traffic lights, eliminate traffic jams throughout the entire section and establish more convenient transport links with adjacent settlements. Its construction will be the final stage in providing a "green corridor" for traffic along the federal highway within Balashikha.
The editors of the Portal of the Roads of RussiaThe M-7 Volga highway today is one of the main highways in Russia, connecting Moscow and the central regions of the country with the cities of the Volga region: Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan and Ufa, and through other roads - with the industrial centers of the Urals and Western Siberia. At the same time, it is the M-7 highway with a length of 1351 km that is considered the main highway connecting the European part of Russia with Siberia and the Far East over the shortest distance. The track is constantly being improved, performing all kinds of overhauls and reconstructions. The DorInfo portal recalls the most significant events that occurred with the Volga highway in 2017.
Section from Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod
Repair and overhaul
In 2017, over 88,000 km of pavement was repaired on the M-7 Volga highway in the section from Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod. On the Moscow region 5.6 km fell on the section from km 50 to km 57; in the Vladimir region, repairs were carried out on a 4-kilometer section from km 266 to km 271. In the Nizhny Novgorod region, 5 sections were repaired at once: from km 397 to km 412 (near the village of Lesnaya Polyana, the village of Stroiteley and the village of Lesnye Dvoriki), from km 442 to km 455, from km 465- th km to the 490th km, from the 544th km to the 560th km, and also from the 564th km to the 574th km.
More than 18 km of the road were subject to major repairs in 2017. Within the boundaries of the Moscow region - one section from the 90th km to the 94th km. In Vladimir region four sections with a total length of about 14 km were overhauled. These are sections: from km 144 to km 146, from km 150 to km 152 in the Lakinsk region, from km 167 to km 168 in the area of the turn to Koloksha station and from km 300 along the 309th km in the area of the city of Vyazniki and the village of Ilevniki.
Repair work, including capital repairs, was also carried out on 6 bridges and on one overpass. On the Vladimir sections of the M-7 Volga highway in 2017, 3 bridges were overhauled: across the Kirzhach river at km 94 (right), Topka at km 111 and across the Klyazma river at km 2 of the highway at the entrance to Vladimir. In the Ivanovo region, a bridge over the Ukhtokhma River was overhauled at the 103rd km of the access road to the city of Ivanovo.
As part of the overhaul, the bridge and roadbed, expansion joints, supports, superstructures, metal barrier and railings were replaced on all bridges, the slopes of the cones were restored and strengthened. In the Nizhny Novgorod region the overpass at the 409th km, as well as the bridge over the Shava River at the 452nd km were repaired.
Key objects
“The most significant and large-scale projects of recent years, implemented on the M-7 Volga highway in the Central and Volga regions, can rightly be called construction of flyovers at the entrance to Moscow city of Balashikha, Moscow region and overhaul in the city of Lakinsk, Vladimir Region. In 2017, they were completed, ”the FKU Uprdor Moscow - Nizhny Novgorod notes.
So, in Balashikha, construction work on the 18th, 21st and 23rd km of the M-7 highway, which began in 2014, was completed. Three overpasses, three lanes wide in each direction, have risen above the intersections, leaving local traffic below them. The implementation of the project ensured the continuous movement of transit vehicles along the main course on the route section. This unleashed a transport hub on the federal highway at the entrance to Moscow and increased the throughput and safety of the route: now transit flows can freely pass along the overpass part of the route, while urban transport goes to local roads along specially constructed two-lane side roads. These measures helped eliminate the possibility of traffic jams within Balashikha. Three overpasses, side passages were built, barrier and pedestrian fencing, noise screens were installed, a drainage system and local treatment facilities were installed, and electric lighting lines were replaced. The width of the carriageway has increased from 6 to 8-10 lanes.
Major overhaul of the track on the section from km 145 to km 156 started in 2015. For three years of implementation, in order to ensure unhindered passage on the site, 4 reversal loops and transitional speed lanes were arranged, new electric lighting lines with a total length of more than 16 km, a drainage system, a barrier fence, noise screens, new bus pavilions and signs were installed. In addition, the road builders built five elevated and two underground pedestrian crossings, as well as eliminated traffic lights.
Also in 2017, the construction of a transport interchange began. on the 27th km of M-7 "Volga" on the outskirts of Balashikha. The project here provides for the expansion of the roadway to six lanes in the section from km 26 to km 30, the construction of two-level reversal loops at km 26 and 30 to organize U-turns and left-turn exits. In addition, it is planned to eliminate three traffic lights, erect four stationary elevated pedestrian crossings and install noise screens. The site will be equipped with an automatic traffic control system. The entire complex of works is planned to be completed by the end of 2019.
In the Vladimir region, a large-scale overhaul section from km 94 to km 118, which passes through the village of Kirzhach, the town of Pokrov, the villages of Novye Omutishchi and Annino. The project will be implemented in 7 stages until 2020. In 2017, work began on sections from km 104 to km 108 and from km 94 to km 99. Approaches to the bridge over the river were arranged. Kirzhach, a modular elevated pedestrian crossing was erected, and the pavement was replaced on the section from km 97 to km 99.
Nizhny Novgorod - Kazan
Repair, overhaul, reconstruction
By territory Chuvash Republic runs almost 195 km of the M-7 Volga highway. Over the past year, 23 km of the road surface has been updated here. In particular, as noted in the FKU Uprdor "Prikamye", a 7-kilometer section from 643 km to 650 km in the area of \u200b\u200bthe settlements of Yaushi, Bolshiye Karachura, Lapsary was repaired. The pavement here was strengthened in places where rutting was formed, a new pavement was laid, and culverts were repaired. An overpass 130 meters long was repaired at km 732. It should be noted that in 2017, the section of the M-7 Volga highway in Chuvashia was administered by the FKU Uprdor Prikamie, but now it has been transferred to the management of the FKU Volgo-Vyatskupravtodor.
Within the territory of Republic of Tatarstan In 2017, Volgo-Vyatskupravtodor FKU completed the reconstruction of two sections of the M-7 highway with a total length of about 30 km: from km 888 to km 901 and from km 941 to km 957. As part of the reconstruction of sections passing through densely populated areas of the republic, the road builders expanded the carriageway of the route from 2 to 4 lanes. A roadbed was erected on both sections for the construction of two new traffic lanes. Then, the worn-out pavement of the existing road was dismantled, and after repairing the subgrade, a new, more durable and heavy-duty pavement was installed.
On the section from km 947 to km 955, due to the non-compliance of the existing route with the requirements of building codes, it was decided to straighten the road by building a new section 7.8 km long. Thanks to this measure, it was possible to eliminate the area with limited visibility and increase the maximum speed limit from 50 to 90 km/h.
In addition, as part of the reconstruction, two two-level interchanges equipped with electric lighting were built to enable uninterrupted access to nearby settlements with the construction of overpasses (Lower and Upper Yaki, Middle Kirmeni, Russian Kirmeni and Urazbakhtino). Rest areas for drivers and passengers of transit transport have been reconstructed at km 945. Deceleration and acceleration lanes were made at the entrance and exit, and an underground pedestrian crossing was built near the recreation area at km 944.
Work on the reconstruction of the section from km 888 to km 901 started in February 2015 and was completed according to schedule in October 2017. The cost of the construction object amounted to 2983.6 million rubles. The reconstruction of the section from km 947 to km 955 began in April 2012. The cost of the construction object amounted to 6622.06 million rubles. With the commissioning of these facilities, the length of sections of the M-7 Volga highway of the 1st technical category with four traffic lanes within the borders of the Republic of Tatarstan amounted to 255 km.
Also last year, on the 785th km of the M-7 highway, a transport interchange was repaired at different levels. In the works, the method of designing asphalt concrete mixtures was used, this technology makes it possible to obtain a more rigid framework of asphalt concrete and eliminate the formation of rutting. The overpass in the Yelabuga region at the 1028th km was overhauled. Repair work was also carried out on five sections of the highway with a total length of more than 37 km, of which 4.2 km were overhauled, another 32.8 km were overhauled.
Key objects
In 2017 was the biggest bridge across the Volga at the 777th km highway M-7 "Volga" within the borders of the Republic of Tatarstan - its length is more than 1000 meters. The specialists repaired the bridge's control structures and coastal supports, replaced the expansion joints with multi-profile ones, and also installed a new coating using vibration-resistant ASPHALIT granite-cast composition. The use of this type of asphalt concrete will increase the turnaround time of the coating and reduce the cost of maintaining the bridge. Repair work on the bridge started in April 2016, and they were completed a month ahead of schedule - in September 2017.
Kazan - Ufa
In Elabuga (Tatarstan), the M-7 highway has a branch to Izhevsk (Udmurt Republic) and Perm (Perm Territory). For this access road to Perm FKU Uprdor "Prikamye" answers. The total length of the route section in the Perm Territory is 134.5 km. Of these, last year the federal road builders brought 55 km to the standard, almost 5 km of which (from km 382 to km 387) in the Ochersky district were overhauled.
Uprdor "Prikamye" notes that in this area the top layer was made of crushed-stone-mastic asphalt concrete based on polymer-bitumen binders. This improves the grip quality of the coating and reduces noise on the road by 3-4 times. In general, the object is also distinguished by the fact that for the first time during the overhaul on the M-7 Volga federal road in the Perm Territory, a 3D automatic control system for construction equipment was used. Its use allows you to repeatedly increase the accuracy and productivity of work, which makes it possible to achieve maximum evenness of the pavement.
The repair was carried out at almost 33 km, the installation of wear layers to extend the life of the roadway was completed at 17.5 km of the route. AT Republic of Bashkortostan federal road workers from Uprdor "Priuralye" repaired and restored worn layers of pavement on 3 sections of the M-7 "Volga" highway with a total length of 33 km: from km 1188 to km 1192, from km 1192 to km 1205 km and from km 1235 to km 1251.
The most serious accidents
The M-7 Volga highway is not the most dangerous in the country, but serious accidents with tragic consequences regularly occur here. Of the largest for 2017, we can recall, in particular, the January accident at the entrance to Perm. On January 26, on the 398th km of the access road to the city of Perm, the driver of a Nissan foreign car allowed it to cross into the oncoming lane of the road, where it crashed into a Scania truck. As a result of the impact, 4 people were killed, three on the spot and one more in the hospital. In the spring, one of the most terrible accidents on the M-7 occurred in the Vladimir region, not far from the village of Pekshi. On April 28, a Hyundai Solaris car drove into the oncoming lane and crashed into a truck at high speed. Two people died on the spot. After the accident, the federal highway was blocked - the trailer of the truck overturned on the roadway, the road was strewn with fragments of a flying car. Due to the accident, a traffic jam accumulated on the highway, motorists had to go around the accident site on the sides of the road.
Last summer, an accident on the M-7 in Chuvashia claimed the lives of three people. On July 26, at the 673rd km of the highway near the village of Tabanry, a wheel burst near the truck, after which the truck driver lost control and crashed into a Peugeot car. Another notable accident happened in August - in the Vladimir region, a raised crane arm hit the structures of a pedestrian bridge located above the roadway. After that, the structures collapsed onto the roadway and completely blocked traffic. Last autumn, one of the most serious accidents on the M-7 occurred in Bashkiria - on September 10, 3 people died in a head-on collision between Toyota Crown and Kia Rio cars. Three more died in an accident on November 16 in the city of Vladimir. The driver of a MAN truck crashed into a parked Ford Transit that was about to turn left. From the impact, the truck was thrown into the oncoming lane, where it crashed into a Toyota Corolla and Mitsubishi Lancer.
Road safety
In order to improve road safety and reduce the number of accidents, each of the federal departments carried out a large amount of work on the subordinate section of the M-7 Volga highway. Thus, in 2017, in order to ensure the safety of pedestrians and traffic without traffic lights, 13 pedestrian crossings at different levels were erected on the section under the administration of Uprdor Moscow - Nizhny Novgorod.
“In the Moscow region, two elevated pedestrian crossings were built at km 21 in Balashikha and km 94 on the border of the Moscow and Vladimir regions. In the Vladimir region, 7 overground and 2 underground pedestrian crossings were built. Seven of them were erected in Lakinsk (five aboveground and two underground), one more was built in the area of the turn to the Koloksha station at km 168 and in the city of Vladimir at km 13 of the M-7 Volga highway to the city of Ivanovo," the Department notes.
Also, 6.5 km of lighting lines were built and 44 km repaired. In the Moscow region, within the city of Balashikha, lighting was replaced on the section of the M-7 Volga highway from km 18 to km 23. In the Vladimir region, 39 km of electric lighting lines were repaired in the section from km 255 to km 294, passing through the villages of Pavlovskie Dvoriki, Simontsevo, Likhaya Pozhnya, Kourkovo, Chudinovo and the town of Vyazniki. More than 6.5 km of new lighting lines were built on the M-7 highway in the Nizhny Novgorod region in 2017. We illuminated sections of the route from km 424 to km 426, from km 519 to km 521 and from km 532 to km 534, which pass through the village. Fedyakovo and the village of Lvovo.
In Tatarstan, as part of the reconstruction of sections from km 888 to km 901 and from km 941 to km 957, almost 35 km of a metal barrier fence, more than 1,600 signal poles, over 340 lighting poles and 600 signs were installed. In addition, 23.6 km of barrier fencing was installed on sections M-7 Volga of the I-B technical category from Kazan to Naberezhnye Chelny. On two sections of the route in Vysokogorsky and Pestrechinsky districts, 1903 anti-dazzle screens were installed to avoid dazzling drivers with the headlights of oncoming vehicles on “curved” and dimly lit sections.
“For the safety of pedestrians, more than 2 km of a pedestrian fence was installed on a section of the M-7 Volga road within the city of Naberezhnye Chelny. In addition, four traffic lights have been installed in Naberezhnye Chelny. Now pedestrian crossings on federal highways have become regulated. The length of artificial electric lighting lines has increased by more than 9 km. The bulk of the work fell on the lighting of villages through which the federal highway passes, and bus stops, ”the Volgo-Vyatskupravtodor FKU said.
In the Perm Territory in 2017, work was completed on the installation of traffic management tools, including at the places of concentration of accidents. The road builders installed 5 L-shaped supports with signs "Pedestrian crossing" to further attract the attention of drivers and more than 2 km of barrier fencing. FKU "Prikamye" also installed an LED information screen at the 477th km of the entrance to Perm, near the traffic intersection in Krasnokamsk. The electronic shield was installed as part of the Safe and High-Quality Roads project and is designed to inform drivers as quickly and around the clock as possible about changes in weather conditions or aggravated traffic conditions.
In Bashkiria, in the village of Layashty, a traffic light with a call button was installed and a pedestrian crossing was equipped, the same traffic light appeared at km 1323, a metal barrier fence was installed in the section from km 1291 to th km along the 1306th km - road signs on L-shaped supports at pedestrian crossings.
The departments note a decrease in the number of road accidents on the M-7 highway - the result of not only repair, overhaul, reconstruction and construction work, but also the result of programs to improve road safety. In particular, in Tatarstan, the number of accidents last year compared to 2016 decreased by 8.5%. At the entrances from the highway to the cities of Vladimir and Ivanovo, the number of accidents decreased by 6.6%, deaths - by 16%, injured - by 7%.
“This result was achieved thanks to a set of measures - the construction of 11 overground and 2 underground pedestrian crossings, the installation of about 18 km of barrier and 2.3 km of pedestrian fences, and the additional arrangement of 3 ground pedestrian crossings with innovative equipment,” according to Uprdor Moscow - Nizhny Novgorod .
Plans for 2018
In the Moscow Region, work on the 27th km at the exit from Balashikha, which began at the end of 2017, will enter the active phase. Currently, the road builders are dismantling the existing pavement, widening the subgrade, erecting supports for elevated pedestrian crossings. In 2018, the overhaul of the section from km 83 to km 94 will continue. The complex of works will be carried out on the section from km 84 to km 90 in the village of Malaya Dubna. Here, on the 88th km of the M-7 highway, a traffic light will be eliminated, two turning loops and transitional speed lanes, a drainage system, and electric lighting lines will be installed. In the spring, in the city of Vladimir, it is planned to begin a major overhaul on the section from km 10 to km 21 of the M-7 Volga highway at the entrance to Ivanovo. During the overhaul, the roadway will be replaced, a dividing strip will be arranged, and the shoulders will be strengthened and expanded. The overhaul of the section of the M-7 highway from km 94 to km 102 will be carried out in the village of Kirzhach and at the entrance to the city of Pokrov. The road builders will build reversal loops, transition lanes, replace and reinforce pavement, install a drainage system, and install a barrier fence.
FKU "Volgo-Vyatskupravtodor" will continue the reconstruction of three sections of the route: from km 856 to km 868, from km 868 to km 878 and from km 878 to km 888. The road workers erected a subgrade and arranged the clothes of two new traffic lanes. At the moment, the worn-out coating of the existing road is being dismantled. The reconstruction involves the correction of the subgrade, after which a new, more durable and heavy-duty road surface will be erected. On the reconstructed sections, 11 exits and eighteen assigned left-turn turns (loops) are provided. Work at the facility, which started in May 2014, is expected to be completed as scheduled in September 2018.
