To the Island of Dreams. Two road bridges will connect the southern districts with Pechatniki

Two bridges to be built across the Moscow River in the south of the capital by 2019

The Nagatinskaya floodplain and the Nagatinsky backwater area will be connected with Pechatniki by the longest bridge across the Moscow River. Construction will begin before the end of this year. The automobile bridge across the Kozhukhovsky backwater will be more than half a kilometer long - 530 meters, the width of the carriageway will reach six lanes, three lanes in both directions. It will also have a lane for public transport. Pedestrians will also be able to cross the river, a three-meter sidewalk will be organized for them. Bridge to the "Island of Dreams" From the side of the Nagatinskaya floodplain, the road will go towards the South River Station, merge with Proektiruemym proezd No. 4062 and come out to Andropov Avenue. For a convenient exit to the avenue, it is planned to build a multi-level interchange similar to a clover leaf. On the other side of the Kozhukhovsky backwater, the road will intersect with the second Yuzhnoportovy passage, traffic lights will be installed at this place. It will become easier for Andropov Prospekt Nagatinskaya floodplain. The builders of the park expect a multimillion-dollar influx of visitors, so the new bridge will relieve tension from the main highway - Andropov Avenue, the only artery connecting the city center with the Nagatinskaya floodplain. Start moving on your own long bridge planned at the end of 2018 simultaneously with the opening of the Dream Island park. From "Moscow Disneyland" to Pechatniki, the New Bridge will also connect the Nagatinsky backwater area with the Yuzhnoportovy district and the Pechatniki area. You can now drive to Pechatniki from the Yuzhnoportovy district from the second Yuzhnoportovy passage through new overpass above the railroad siding. The road above the tracks was opened on October 23 . It connected the second Yuzhnoportovy passage with Yuzhnoportovaya street. The builders erected a two-lane overpass 156 meters long in a year and a half. Together with the reconstructed passage and street adjacent to the overpass, the section of the renovated road amounted to almost a kilometer. For pedestrians, sidewalks were made 3.2 meters wide. For the convenience of people with limited mobility, sidewalks at ground crossings were lowered to four centimeters, ramps and tactile tiles were installed. Bridge of the southern rocade B next year construction of another bridge across the Moscow River will begin - from Shosseynaya to Kaspiyskaya Street. The new highway will become part of the southern railroad. It will be part of the section from Proletarskaya Street to Proletarian Avenue. According to Andrey Bochkarev, the head of the construction department, the design of this section will begin before the end of 2017. "We are currently developing urban planning documentation", Andrey Bochkarev clarified. The length of the automobile bridge will be 250 meters, and the traffic will be four-lane: two lanes to the center and from the center. Kursk direction of the Moscow railway, will cross the Projected passage No. 7294, and then the Moscow River. Streets will be reconstructed along this coast. It is planned to expand up to four lanes Projected passages No. 4386, 1481, 4294, going from Shosseynaya Street to the river. They will also expand Donetskskaya Street, which runs parallel to Shosseynaya Street. On the other side, the highway will be built along the railway, brought to Kashirskoe highway and connect it to Caspian Street under the highway. The length of the new section will be almost three kilometers. In total, it is planned to build more than eight kilometers of roads, including overpasses on the approach to the bridge 1.97 kilometers long, six overpasses of the exit from Kashirskoye Highway to Kaspiyskaya Street and exits from Donetskskaya Street. For pedestrians, near the Moskvorechye platform of the Kursk direction of the railway, a ground crossing will be built across the new road, and wide sidewalks will be built along the highway. A traffic light will be installed under the Kashirskoye Highway. The new bridge in Tsaritsyno The highway will connect the Pechatniki district in the south-east of the city and Tsaritsyno in the south. Now the two districts are separated by the Moscow River. You can get from one area to another only with the help of neighboring crossings - Brateevsky or Nagatinsky bridge, at rush hour the entrances to the crossings are overloaded. The construction of the bridge, the continuation of the new road and the reconstruction of existing streets will significantly shorten the path of motorists.

Stanislav MYAGKOV, chief specialist of the NIiPI of the General Plan of Moscow, talks about plans for the construction of one of the most difficult sections of the future Fourth Ring Road

Recently, pre-project proposals have been developed for the construction of a section of the Fourth Transport Ring (CHTK) from Kashirskoye shosse. to Kolomenskaya emb. They involve, in particular, the reconstruction of the existing transport interchange in the place where Nakhimovsky Prospekt adjoins Kashirka on one side (by the way, also part of the future Fourth Ring), and on the other, Kolomensky Prospekt.

AT westbound the highway will run along the aforementioned Kolomensky prospect, which, of course, also needs to be seriously modernized. Ahead is the territory of the unique Kolomenskoye Museum Reserve, of course, no one will allow the builders to touch it.

The tunnel will "dive" near Andropov Ave.

As a result, it was decided to build one of the longest deep car tunnels in our country. For its construction, a mining complex will be used, according to its technical specifications significantly superior to the shield, first paving the way for the Third Ring near Lefortovo, and then Zvenigorod

pr-tu under Serebryanoborsky forestry.

Why? The CTC must have at least four lanes in each direction throughout. This also applies to the tunnel that will be used by the ChTK under the Kolomenskoye, and the former "mole" is able to dig only three lanes.


The installation chamber intended for the giant tunneling shield (from this place it will begin to go underground), as well as the construction site, it is supposed to be located near the intersection of Andropov Avenue with Kolomensky Prospect. Well, the section of the ramp part of the tunnel along Kolomensky Prospect on the way to the installation chamber - will start about 500 m behind the Kashirskoye sh. - will be built in an open way.

Having overcome about 2.6 km under the territory of the museum-reserve, the tunneling shield will “emerge” from the ground only at the Nagatinsky backwater. Options for further passage of the route are currently being considered.

Having crossed the Nagatinsky backwater (somewhere 350 m from the bank of the Moskva River, thus the total length of the tunnel will be about 4.6 km), the highway in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bjunction with Kolomenskaya Street. will climb the overpass, which, together with Kolomenskaya st. (also "receive" a flyover) and Kolomenskaya emb. will become part of the most powerful three-level transport interchange, the numerous directed exits of which will ensure the unimpeded traffic in all directions.

Subway trains will not cross the bridge.


Having reached the Moscow River, the Fourth Ring will come to the bridge. Until recently, the media have repeatedly reported that, like the tunnel under Kolomenskoye, it will be used for the passage of not only cars, but also metro trains (traffic is organized in this way, say, in a similar underground structure on Zvenigorodsky Prospekt) .

As a result, a new metro line will appear in Moscow - from the Kashirskaya station to Pechatnikov, which will connect three radial lines Moscow subway (this will be the first segment of the upcoming Big metro ring in the Russian capital).


Yes, it will, but... In fact, only the tunnel under Kolomenskoye is supposed to be made "two-story" (the project is being developed by specialists from Metrogiprotrans OJSC): the upper tier will be given to cars, the lower tier - to trains.

Well, then to the "Pechatniki", as it is now provided, underground cars with passengers will go through an "individual" metro tunnel. Incidentally, through future station"Nagatinsky backwater", which should be located right in the unique "double" tunnel under the museum-reserve "Kolomenskoye".

The bridge will be exclusively automobile, ten-lane (five lanes in each direction): four - the main course of the ChTK, and two more, side ones, will “serve” exits / exits in various directions.

To Crystal Island

One of these congresses will bring the Fourth Ring to the Crystal Island, a giant cultural and business complex in the form of an openwork tower almost 450 meters high, designed by the famous British architect Norman Foster.

It is going to be erected in the western part of the peninsula, where the park of the Nagatinskaya floodplain is located, but on the contrary, through the Nagatinsky sleeve (the new channel of the Moskva River), let me remind you that a supertechnopark is currently being built with total area up to 1 million sq. km.

"Rings" will connect the embankments

These large-scale new buildings, of course, require normal transport approaches. So, the overpass route, which will move away from the bridge to the ChTK, will connect the Fourth Ring with the now nameless embankment near the Crystal Island.

In the future, along the left bank of the Moskva River, it is proposed to "break through" other embankments - first to Avtozavodsky bridge, and later to Simonovskaya emb. As a result, it will be possible to get from the center of the metropolis both to the "Crystal Island" and to get (through Andropov Ave.) to the Nagatino-ZIL technopark.

Finally, a "chain" of connected embankments along the left bank of the Moskva River plus a flyover route leading to the "Crystal Island" will directly connect the Third and Fourth transport rings with each other.

To sh. Enthusiasts "by air"

However, let's get back to "our" section of the ChTK... Having crossed the Moscow River (about 700 m above the water), on the opposite bank it will come to the Pechatniki area, where, without descending to the ground, it will run like a flyover up to sh. Enthusiasts.

On this segment of the PTK, powerful road junctions will provide drivers with all the necessary maneuvers at its intersections in series with the future understudy of Volgogradsky Prospekt, which will stretch a little to the south of this route, but to the north and practically parallel to the metro line between Pechatniki and Lyublino stations, and then Volgogradsky and Ryazansky Prospekt.

All these interchanges will be three-level - everywhere directed congresses, and not the notorious "clover leaf". From a purely technical point of view, the one that will connect the ChTK with the understudy of Volgogradsky Prospekt is of particular interest. It will be very compact, and the understudy, as planned, will pass here on the ground, the Fourth Ring - the third "floor", and the overpass exits - the second.

However, about this understudy and other sections of the CTC later - they require a separate, more detailed discussion.

Requires a stronger shield

Not so long ago, as AvtoMir already reported (No. 17/08), the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation officially signed a Russian-German contract for the manufacture of the world's largest mechanized tunneling complex for the construction of tunnels with a diameter of 19 m, which most likely will have to "engage » construction of ChTK facilities near Kolomenskoye.

It will be produced by the famous German company Herrenknecht AG by order of the Moscow-based CJSC Infrastructure (affiliated with the firms of Roman Abramovich).

The details of the transaction are strictly confidential. But, according to some reports, the design and production of a powerful “mole” (all this will be paid by Infrastructure CJSC) will require about 100 million euros and will take about two years.

Recall that it was the Herrenknecht AG tunneling shield, but less solid - with a diameter of "only" 14.2 m - that laid the Lefortovo and Serebryanoborsky tunnels. Now he is most likely to be “thrown” onto the tunnel under the Tsaritsyno park.

This is underground facility will appear on the priority section (Balaklavsky Prospekt - Kashirskoye Highway) of the so-called South Rokada- a traffic light highway that is going to be laid through the entire metropolis from western to eastern borders MKAD.

How will the super ring lie?

74 kilometers of overpasses, interchanges, bridges and tunnels! The construction of the "starting" eastern arc of the ChTK has actually already begun. The first section - from sh. Enthusiasts to Izmailovsky sh., the second - from it to Shchelkovsky sh. and the third - from Shchelkovsky sh. to Otkrytoye sh., including traffic interchange at the latter.

Almost the entire length of the eight-lane highway will run here along outside Small Ring of the Moscow Railway (MK MZhD). The fourth section will pass from sh. enthusiasts in opposite direction- to the Ryazan Highway, on the approach to which a large traffic interchange is to be built on the ChTK, plus, for the redistribution of car flows, connect it with a road link with the existing Third Transport Ring.

Moose Island will pass through the tunnel

But let's get back to the upper (if you look at the map) end of the starting arc of the ChTK. Behind the open sh. on the way of the highway to Yaroslavskoe sh. - reserved lands Elk Island. At first, they were going to be overcome by a transit overpass (no entry/exit), which was supposed to “snuggle” as close as possible to the MK MZHD, and in some places, perhaps, pass directly over the “piece of iron”. However, now, as in the case of the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve, a fundamental decision has been made to lay a deep tunnel here as well.

Then the most complicated interchange will appear at the intersection of the ChTK with Mira Avenue - Yaroslavl Highway, then the superring total length approximately 74 km will run between metro stations " Botanical Garden"and" Sviblovo ", bypasses Altufevskoe and Dmitrovskoe highways, then - Leningradskoe and Volokolamskoe (powerful transport interchanges everywhere). Finally, in the area of ​​st. Berzarina (a second link between the Fourth Ring and the Third Ring will appear there - through Zvenigorodsky Prospekt or along a direct "beam" to the Moscow-City MIBC), the future "ring" will move away from the tracks of the Moscow Railways and reach the already existing section of the ChTK - st. People's Militia(of course, it requires reconstruction, in particular, an increase in the number of lanes). There - the intersection of the route with the also traffic-free Zvenigorodsky Prospekt and, accordingly, a transport interchange.

"Mole" is also needed by Filevsky

After Zvenigorodka, the ChTK will reach - most likely by overpasses Karamyshevskaya Embankment, will overcome the Nizhniye Mnevniki area, “force” the Moskva River a second time, and then “dive” under Filevsky Park(third deep tunnel).

Behind him up to the Kashirskoye sh. The CHTK will go through the actually existing sections (of course, like Narodnogo Opolcheniya Street, they require modernization). These are Minskaya st., Lomonosovsky and Nakhimovsky avenues. (See the publication above about how the superring will run from Nakhimovsky Prospect to Ryazanka.)

The Nagatinskaya floodplain and the Nagatinsky backwater area will be connected with Pechatniki by the longest bridge across the Moscow River. Construction will begin before the end of this year.

The automobile bridge across the Kozhukhovsky backwater will be more than half a kilometer long - 530 meters, the width of the carriageway will reach six lanes, three lanes in both directions. It will also have a lane for public transport. Pedestrians will also be able to cross the river, a three-meter sidewalk will be organized for them.

Bridge to Dream Island

From the side of the Nagatinskaya floodplain, the road will go towards the South River Station, connect with Proektiruemyy proezd No. 4062, and exit to Andropov Avenue.

For a convenient exit to the avenue, it is planned to build a multi-level interchange similar to a clover leaf. On the other side of the Kozhukhovsky backwater, the road will intersect with the second Yuzhnoportovy passage, traffic lights will be installed at this place.

Prospekt Andropov will be easier

The highway will be in demand primarily among visitors to the Dream Island amusement park, which is currently under construction in the Nagatinskaya floodplain. The builders of the park expect a multimillion-dollar influx of visitors, so the new bridge will relieve tension from the main highway - Andropov Avenue, the only artery connecting the city center with the Nagatinskaya floodplain.

It is planned to launch traffic on the longest bridge at the end of 2018, simultaneously with the opening of the Dream Island park.

From "Moscow Disneyland" to Pechatniki

The new bridge will also connect the Nagatinsky backwater area with the Yuzhnoportovy area and the Pechatniki area.

It is now possible to drive to Pechatniki from the Yuzhnoportovy district from the second Yuzhnoportovy passage through a new overpass above the railway siding. The road above the tracks was opened. It connected the second Yuzhnoportovy passage with Yuzhnoportovaya street.

The builders erected a two-lane overpass 156 meters long in a year and a half. Together with the reconstructed passage and street adjacent to the overpass, the section of the renovated road amounted to almost a kilometer. For pedestrians, sidewalks were made 3.2 meters wide. For the convenience of people with limited mobility, sidewalks at ground crossings were lowered to four centimeters, ramps and tactile tiles were installed.

South Rocade Bridge

Next year, the construction of another bridge across the Moscow River will begin - from Shosseynaya to Kaspiyskaya Street. The new highway will become part of the southern railroad. It will be part of the section from Proletarskaya Street to Proletarsky Prospekt. According to Andrey Bochkarev, the head of the construction department, the design of this section will begin before the end of 2017. "Current planning documentation is currently being developed," Andrey Bochkarev specified.

The length of the road bridge will be 250 meters, and the traffic will be four lanes: two lanes to the center and from the center. From Shosseinaya Street, the new four-lane highway will go to Proektiruyemy proezd No. 4386 along the right of way of the Kursk direction of the Moscow Railway, cross Proektirovannyy proezd No. 7294, and then the Moscow River.

Streets will be reconstructed along this coast. It is planned to expand up to four lanes Projected passages No. 4386, 1481, 4294, going from Shosseynaya Street to the river. They will also expand Donetskskaya Street, which runs parallel to Shosseynaya Street.

On the other side, the highway will be built along the railway, brought to the Kashirskoye Highway and connected to Kaspiyskaya Street under the highway. The length of the new section will be almost three kilometers. In total, it is planned to build more than eight kilometers of roads, including overpasses on the approach to the bridge 1.97 kilometers long, six overpasses of the exit from Kashirskoye Highway to Kaspiyskaya Street and exits from Donetskskaya Street.

For pedestrians, near the Moskvorechye platform of the Kursk direction of the railway, a ground crossing will be built across the new road, and wide sidewalks will be built along the highway. A traffic light will be installed under the Kashirskoye Highway.

New bridge in Tsaritsyno

The highway will connect the Pechatniki district in the southeast of the city and Tsaritsyno in the south. Now the two districts are separated by the Moscow River. You can get from one area to another only with the help of neighboring crossings - Brateevsky or Nagatinsky bridge, at rush hour the entrances to the crossings are overloaded. The construction of the bridge, the continuation of the new road and the reconstruction of existing streets will significantly shorten the path of motorists.

Now the Moscow River is being crossed by 32 road bridge, seven railway and six pedestrian. The average distance between transport and pedestrian bridges is 3.4 kilometers.

There are not enough road bridges for denser transport links in Moscow, so the city's urban planners plan to build 21 bridges and reconstruct four more in the coming years.

There is a wonderful district in the capital city of Muscovy - Pechatniki. And there is a park in it, along the Moscow River, and wonderful people live there. Only here is the trouble with transport in Pechatniki - it is impossible to enter the area or leave. Transport ass these are your printers. And what is this ass, in fact, manifested?

The problem is that there are few roads leading from Pechatniki to other areas, and their width is extremely small.

1. Yuzhnoportovaya street, which runs along the dark industrial zone. It connects Pechatniki and Yuzhnoportovy district, and from there it is not far to the TTK. The road is narrow, one lane in each direction.
2. Shosseynaya Street, which runs through the entire Pechatniki district and stretches to Volgogradsky Prospekt and Tekstilshchiki metro station. Two lanes in each direction, although at speed they turn into one.
3 and 4. Fucking single-lane (!) tunnels under the Kursk direction of the railway, built already in 1908. Initially - livestock tunnels leading to the city slaughterhouse (it was in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe modern Mikoyanovsky meat processing plant on Volgogradka). Now, instead of cattle, cars are being driven through these tunnels. Well, you can't live like that. One lane in each direction, the third tunnel - for the exit (to Lyublino), the fourth - for the entrance (from Maryino). The very existence of narrow one-way tunnels in major city, in the twenty-first century - shame and disgrace.

It turns out that two and a half roads lead to Pechatniki (and back) (shit tunnels are not worthy of being called a full-fledged road), hence the isolation of the transport ass. And how to solve this problem? How to provide an area inhabited by 75,000 people (excluding the village of Kuryanovo) with a decent transport infrastructure? And is it possible to unload other streets suffering from morning and evening traffic jams?

I can answer these questions. Yes, it is possible to unload Lyublinskaya Street with Andropov Avenue and at the same time provide the residents of Pechatniki with two luxurious exits from the area.

A through passage through the Kuryanovo microdistrict along Novobatyuninskaya Street connects Maryino and Kolomenskoye, at the same time gives the residents of Pechatniki an excellent alternative to the "drunk" Yuzhnoportovaya Street and the impermissibly narrow (for such a traffic flow) Highway.
Step 1: Construction of the Kuryanovsky tunnel under the existing railway tracks.
Most likely, the Kuryanovsky tunnel will be built using the punching method, like the Nakhimovsky one (it was built under the tracks Paveletsky direction ZhD). After the opening of the Kuryanovsky tunnel, it is necessary to concrete and fill Southern overpass(former cattle tunnel), Ilovaiskaya street in this case will connect with Podolskaya. Buses plying on route 646 will pass through the new tunnel, no other changes to the route are required.
Step 2: Extension of Novobatyuninskaya street and construction of the Kolomna bridge.
The Kolomensky Bridge with a length of over 400 meters will connect Klenovy Boulevard in Kolomenskoye and Novobatyuninskaya Street in Pechatniki (Kuryanovo microdistrict). The bridge itself has three main supports - two on the banks of the river and one central. The spans of the bridge, it turns out, do not exceed two hundred meters in length. On the central support for pedestrians, two observation platforms are organized, connected by an underpass (under the road).

This design (tunnel + bridge) performs several tasks at once.
1. Unloads Lublinskaya street and Andropov avenue.
2. Unloads Brateevsky and Nagatinsky bridges.
3. Provides additional connectivity between districts, gives drivers an alternative to radial routes (Andropova Ave., Lublinskaya St., Volgogradsky Ave.).
4. Provides the districts of Pechatniki and Kuryanovo with full-fledged trips, increases the attractiveness of these areas for (possible? future?) residents.

As soon as this section of the road is opened, very radical changes will take place with the route transport in Kolomenskoye, Maryino and especially in Pechatniki. I can’t predict them, I just assume that there will be both through routes (Maryino-Kolomenskoye) and routes to the Pechatniki metro station. Big number buses and routes less interval between them, less waiting time, more alternatives for residents.

And no matter how I painted positive sides his idea, this idea is fully revealed only as part of a large-scale plan - the decentralization of Moscow. The workload of the center and the morning and evening migration of residents is a real scourge of the capital, jobs must be removed from the center and distributed. Of course, violent methods (the decree of the mayor's office - "to take the job outside the Third Ring Road", for example) - this is disgusting. Best Option- increase the attractiveness of the outskirts, create a high-quality transport infrastructure and investments themselves will flow to the right areas =)

And another part of such infrastructure can be the Lublin Tunnel.

After the through passage through Kuryanovo is opened, the traffic situation in Pechatniki will improve significantly, Polbina Street will no longer stand in the morning-evening traffic jam. It is after these events that it is possible to begin the construction of the Lublin Tunnel. This new tunnel will be a continuation of Kukhmisterova Street (from the side of Pechatnikov) and Kubanskaya Street (from the side of Lyublino), and two lanes in each direction, I am sure, will be enough to withstand even morning and evening flows. Especially when the residents of Pechatniki have an alternative - a bridge and a tunnel in the Kuryanovo microdistrict.

And about what changes await Kuryanovo a few years after the construction of the Maryino-Kolomenskoye through passage, I will tell next time: 3

AT last years in Moscow, with a delay of decades, construction continues transport infrastructure. Giant budgets are being spent, not always honestly and rationally, but, nevertheless, there is some progress, and today there is something to write an article on this topic. It is quite normal that the average resident of Moscow learns about new road, overpass, bridge, tunnel or subway in his or a neighboring area only when he himself uses this transport facility, and after a couple of months he already believes that this has always been the case. However, if information about construction plans leaked to members of the public ahead of time, then after a while the projects often acquire mythical “details” and “epics”; everything that is possible is confused - the authorities hide, but we know! But important details are overlooked and emerge as an unpleasant surprise already at the later stages, when their correction becomes both expensive and long. I will try in this article to dispel myths and conjectures about all transport construction projects that may be of interest to residents of our area.

To start brief educational program. What is the main source of myths?

  1. Incorrect official information is either outdated (plans have changed, and old news and schemes have remained on the Internet), or the desire of pocket city media to embellish reality, passing off wishful thinking.
  2. The incompetence of text writers and their editors. The widespread savings on staff results in the absence of Muscovites among the employees of city and regional media. They do not know urban geography and toponymy, they are easily led to mistakes in official press releases written by the same comers.
  3. The general lack of interest in the construction of transport infrastructure among the residents of the city (heard the ringing, but does not know where he is). Not least of all, this is due to the ongoing blurring of the indigenous population of Moscow. huge amount visitors from all over the country and the lack of opportunities for Muscovites to influence their government.

Metro and road construction projects in the south and southeast of Moscow

Underground

In the near future, two stations of the so-called Third Interchange Circuit (TPK) - Klenovy Bulvar and Nagatinsky Zaton - should begin in Nagatinskiy Zaton.

TPK is, in fact, the second metro ring, it is also Big circle line, a small part of which from Kashirskaya to Kakhovskaya was built in the last century, and all other stations and tunnels are planned to be built in the next five years.

The Klenovy Boulevard station will be located on the circle between Novinki, Kolomenskaya and Klenovy Boulevard streets. The second station - "Nagatinsky backwater" - should be built on the cape, at the beginning of Kolomenskaya street (possession 2), where the garages are now.

At first, they wanted to build only one station in our area - on the circle with the name "Nagatinsky Zaton", and near the final bus, opposite the "Crossroads", there should have been an evacuation exit (it was put on safety measures on long hauls), but later it was decided instead make a full-fledged station with the name "Nagatinsky backwater", and the future station on the circle was renamed "Klenovy Boulevard". From here comes a lot of confusion associated with changed plans.

Another source of myths is the so-called "The Fourth Ring" including the section from Kolomensky passage to Pechatniki. Under the Kolomensky Park, the road was supposed to pass in autometrotunnel with a diameter of 19 meters, then it was planned to put the subway under the river, and cars across the bridge. But at new government the project of the fourth ring was buried due to excessive cost and dubious efficiency, and with it the highway to Pechatniki.

All that's left is the subway. From Kashirskaya to Klenovy Boulevard, the tunnels will be single-track, and the station itself on the circle will be of the coastal type (like Technopark), then the tunnels will be double-track, and the Nagatinsky Zaton station will also be of the coastal type, that is, the path in the middle, and two platforms around them, like at the Technopark. The same double-track metro tunnel will go to Pechatniki under the river. There will be no autotunnel, there will be no bridge!

This is what a classic coastal station looks like

As for the end dates construction of TPK in our area, three years ago, officials promised that the metro in Nagatinskiy Zaton would run in 2018-2019. It is now the end of 2017, only recently a construction contract was signed and a competition for the design of stations was announced, but we see that the construction sites have not even been fenced off yet. Therefore, today, given the difficulties with which the construction of the metro in Moscow is going on, the most realistic launch of our section seems to be no earlier than 2023 of the year.

At the Klenovy Bulvar station, there should be a reserve for a transfer to the promising line from Biryulyovo to Kommunarka. The implementation of plans for the construction of this line is still scheduled for 2030s years.

Simonovskaya embankment, former ZiL, Nagatinskaya floodplain and Pechatniki

Embankments of the left bank of the Moscow River from Garden Ring to the south are now a two-kilometer understudy of the Simonovsky shaft. It was decided to expand the carriageways to two lanes in each direction, and extend the Simonovskaya embankment along the river near the Torpedo stadium to the territory of the former ZiL (there it will be called the Marc Chagall embankment).


Bridge across the Kozhukhovsky backwater. Render: stroi.mos.ru

From there, along the newly built bridge across the Novinka backwater, the road will go to the current Projected passage No. 4062 along the Moskva River, and then past the construction of an amusement park in the Nagatinskaya floodplain - to a six-lane bridge, which will lead the road to the 2nd Yuzhnoportovy passage through the Kozhukhovsky backwater. At first glance, it may seem that this is the project of the winner of the competition for the most useless bridge: after all, it should connect the path from center to center. But other projects are being prepared that give reason not to consider this bridge a triumph of absurdity.


Project for the development of the territory of the former ZIL

There are plans to build the TTK - Yuzhnoportovaya - Pechatniki - Lublinskaya - MKAD highway, but it is not yet clear which route it will take to Lublinskaya Street, most likely along railway tracks in the east Pechatnikov.

Another project involves the construction of a bridge across the Moskva River along the MCC railway lines, which will connect the territory of the former ZiL with Varshavskoye Highway and Nagorny passage. The construction of this bridge is scheduled for 2020 of the year. Thus, in the future we will get a horizontal link between Varshavka and the southeast. After the bridge, it will be possible to either turn left from the floodplain and go through Yuzhnoportovaya Street to the Third Ring Road, or turn right and drive along the new highway to the Besedinskaya interchange from the Moscow Ring Road.

There is one more thing with the bridge in the Nagatinskaya floodplain: since it nominally connects the Nagatinsky Zaton and Pechatniki districts, negligent news writers often pass it off as bridge from Kolomenskaya street to Pechatniki, although, in fact, it has nothing to do with our peninsula. In addition, there is information about problems with the construction contractor, and the start of work is shifted by at least a year or two, and construction can be completed no earlier than 2019-2020. There are no prerequisites for the construction of a bridge between Kolomenskaya Street and Pechatniki, and they are unlikely to appear in the near future.

However, it is obvious that the Nagatinsky Bridge is already unable to cope with the current traffic, and it will be even worse in the future, and the issue of an additional crossing between the south and the north will be raised again anyway. At the moment, from my point of view, the most appropriate is the cancellation of the A-lane on the bridge in both directions, and then, if the situation worsens, as an option, the construction increase in the number of lanes to 3 + A on the bridge and Andropov Avenue to Kolomensky passage. Or an autotunnel under a river.

In addition to the extension of Simonovskaya Embankment and the bridge across the Moscow River to Varshavka, an overpass across the MCC tracks along the Projected Proyezd 4965 will soon open on the territory of the former ZiL, which will connect the roads near the Technopark metro station and Tyufeleva Roshcha Street. Thus, in the very near future, a direct route between the Nagatinskiy and Avtozavodskiy bridges should appear.

Overpass across the MCC on the territory of the former ZIL.

And quite recently, at the end of October, another overpass was opened - an overpass across the railway tracks between 2nd Yuzhnoportovy passage and Yuzhnoportovaya street.


Straightening of Yuzhnoportovaya street

This straightening saved us from having to dodge along the "drunk" road when driving to Pechatniki across Trofimov Street.

The second elevated pedestrian crossing across Andropov Avenue should be built opposite the Technopark metro station. This will remove the last pedestrian traffic light in the floodplain and slightly improve traffic along the avenue. But simple transitions the authorities are not interested in building - it will be another monstrous structure with travolators (!), Designed for crowds of tourists. Moscow officials promise to complete the construction of the crossing already in 2019 year! In any case, spending AIpe Target investment program laid down from 2016 to 2019

Southern rocade

Many are aware of the highway from Rublyovka to Kapotnya: most of it was built in Soviet times. It is currently being worked on eastern part, namely the construction of a section from Varshavskoye Highway to Proletarsky Prospekt and the design of a route towards Brateevo and the Moscow Ring Road.

In September of this year, the Varshavskoye highway overpass was put into operation over Balaklavsky prospect, but further construction rested on railway Kursk direction. According to the project, two railway overpasses over the future road, then transferring train traffic to new tracks and dismantling the old ones. According to available information, Russian Railways is sabotaging the approval of the start of work on the construction of detours, thereby delaying the launch of a much-needed transport facility. They promise to open this site at the construction site at the end 2018 year, although the state contract provides for the completion of work in third quarter 2019 years, but even on this date there are strong doubts.

After Kantemirovskaya street, theoretically, the route should go to the street Borisov Ponds, then across the new bridge to Kapotnya and further to the Moscow Ring Road. However, it has not yet been decided how exactly the road from the expanded Kantemirovskaya Street will get to Borisovskie Ponds. Most likely on a flyover over protected areas specially protected natural area and Kashirskoye highway (bonus - a normal check-in from Kashirka to Borisovskie Prudy street). But this is a very complex and expensive project, which will not be implemented soon. In the meantime, traffic from the west is supposed to turn onto a new bridge in the continuation of Kaspiyskaya Street to Pechatniki.

Bridge Caspian - Highway

Plans for the construction of a bridge across the Moscow River along the railway tracks of the Kursk direction near the Moskvorechye platform have been around for a long time.

In Moscow, there is a shortage of bridges across rivers, and one more bridge to link the south and southeast would be very useful, because the distance along the river between the neighboring Brateevsky and Nagatinsky bridges is 14 km! But until recently, there were no sufficient justifications for such a complex and expensive project. And recently they appeared: the extension of the Southern Rokada to the southeast and Southeast chord(from Aviamotornaya) to the south.


Project of a bridge between Kaspiyskaya and Shosseynaya streets and interchange with Kashirskoye highway

In addition, on east coast River, a new residential complex "Domashny" is being built for several thousand apartments with problematic transport accessibility. The sellers of this residential complex are already promising the speedy construction of an eight-lane highway in the alignment between Kaspiyskaya and Shosseinaya, which, in theory, should allow new residents to quickly and conveniently get out to the city. To date, the decision to build the bridge has been made, and a design company has been identified. The implementation of the project will be difficult, as there are many difficult overpasses across the Kashirskoye highway and the railway in conditions of lack of free space. However, there is hope that the interchange bridge will be ready in 2020–2022 year.

Interchanges on the Moscow Ring Road

After a not very successful reconstruction of the interchange between Kashirskoye Highway and the Moscow Ring Road, the turn finally came to the interchange with Besedinskoye Highway.

The most inconvenient exit to the Moscow Ring Road should be turned into a convenient modern interchange to end of 2020. The contractor has been identified, change houses for builders have been delivered. We are waiting for the start of construction.

The next stage of work on the Moscow Ring Road will be the reconstruction of the interchange with Lipetskaya street and the Don route. Demolition of nearby garages is to begin next year, and the beginning construction works should be expected by the end of 2018.

Thus, in the next few years we will again have to stand in long traffic jams in the southern part of the ring road.
