Marat Khusnullin, Moscow's deputy mayor for urban planning, announced the need for work to rebuild some sections of the MKAD roadbed. Back in October 2016, the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin, approved projects for the reconstruction of almost 20 km of the Moscow Ring Road, in particular, 19.7 km of the asphalt highway in the direction from Volokolamsk to Yaroslavl highway.
A large-scale reconstruction of the Moscow Ring Road in 2018, but about how quickly all the work on the restructuring of the road surface and roadside facilities will be completed is still not known for certain.
The restructuring project involves not only the reconstruction of the roadway, but also the construction of alternate routes, overpasses, as well as off-street pedestrian crossings. All these measures are aimed at improving traffic on selected sections of the Moscow Ring Road. The planned reconstruction is one of the stages.
Understudies and new interchanges
At three sections of the Moscow Ring Road, outdated interchanges, called "clover" interchanges, will be removed. It is there that kilometer-long traffic jams are constantly collected, not only significantly impeding, but completely freezing the movement of the flow.
And what will happen instead of these interchanges? Builders are going to build on the site no longer suitable for modern realities on the Moscow roads of "clover" interchanges, to build directed ramps in order to separate the flows of cars.
According to this principle, it has already been reconstructed in total thirteen junctions of the Moscow ring road. In addition to new interchanges, some sections of the Moscow Ring Road will acquire the so-called understudies - these will be side passages along the highway. The total length of the backups will be 4.7 km.
More about sections of the Moscow Ring Road to be reconstructed
The first section for the planned reconstruction is the section from Volokolamskoye to Leningradskoye shosse. Its length will be 5.3 km.
In 2018, construction work will begin here, aimed at the construction of transitional speed lanes at the intersection of exits with the main carriageway.
Approximately 71 km from the outer side of the Moscow Ring Road, they want to build a side passage. At the same time, work will be carried out to rebuild the interchange at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road with Svoboda Street and reconstruct the overpass. At the same time, they plan to extend the left-turn exit from the Leningrad Highway.
The second section will cover the MKAD sector from Dmitrovsky to Ostashkovskoye Highway. The length of the second reconstruction section will be 9.3 km.
The plans of car builders for the second segment of the Moscow Ring Road give great hope for complete absence traffic jams in this section of the road in the future. In 2018, it is planned to rebuild the interchange at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road with Altufevskoye Highway.
Side passages will also be built at km 78 and 86 of the outer side of the ring road. Finally, overhead crossings for pedestrians will be repaired. And also at the points of intersection of exits with the main road, transitional and high-speed lanes will be built.
The third section of the reconstruction of the Moscow Ring Road will capture the segment of the road from Ostashkovsky to Yaroslavl Highway. The length of this section is 5.1 km.
In the project, carry out the restructuring of the interchange at the intersection ring road from Ostashkovsky highway. Side passages along the Moscow Ring Road will also be built. Crossing lanes will be installed at the intersection of exits and driveways of this section.
Ultimately, the output of such a large-scale reconstruction is quite large area Five lanes will appear on the Moscow Ring Road in both directions, and from one to three lanes operating in both directions will be erected on alternates.
Work is already in full swing
According to Marat Khusnullin, for more than five years, work has been underway to reconstruct the Moscow Ring Road. All major interchanges are now practically rebuilt. In total, as mentioned above, thirteen junctions have been reconstructed. The next, fourteenth, denouement is planned to be completed by the end of 2017.
But the reconstruction of the above three sections of the ring road will begin no earlier than . Moreover, first they will destroy all illegal buildings near the Moscow Ring Road, congresses, garages and warehouses - that is, all structures that in one way or another impede the normal functioning of the movement of cars will be demolished.
In addition, private individuals who wish to invest their capital in the development of the Moscow Ring Road are planning to establish their own rules on the Moscow Ring Road. Soon markets, endless entertainment complexes and shopping centers will begin to grow along the Moscow Ring Road, like mushrooms after rain. Sponsors have already prepared and agreed on projects for more than 80% of the "at the Moscow Ring Road" territory. As a result, the capacity of the ring road will increase by about 20-25%, and in some segments it will soar to over 40%.
Such a "reset" of the Moscow Ring Road will allow to install speed mode on the highway at least 100 km / h. Moreover, it will not be so much the speed allowed by law, but the real speed, due to necessity.
The experts gave their preliminary estimates regarding the duration of the reconstruction of the Moscow Ring Road. Specialists are confident that the reconstruction of the ring road will take at least 5-10 years. Under certain conditions and circumstances, the reconstruction may take more than 10 years.

Volokolamka is almost always stuck in traffic jams, despite the fact that the highway is constantly updated in one way or another. The comprehensive reconstruction of the road is just beginning - it will solve a significant part of the problems, although it will not get rid of the main trouble: a bottleneck in the area of the Moscow Canal. they know firsthand what it is to stand in traffic jams.

Today
average speed traffic on the Volokolamsk highway during peak hours - 25-29 kilometers per hour. This highway is one of the "uniformly heavy" directions of the capital - there is almost always the same traffic situation here: the traffic is very dense due to insufficient wide road, and in " bottlenecks”(the most unpleasant thing is the passage under the Moscow Canal) due to the slightest accident, the stream stands up tightly. Residents of the northwestern part of the Moscow region, in particular, the closest to the capital big city Krasnogorsk spend at least 45-50 minutes on the road to the center. Nevertheless, there are some improvements: in particular, five years ago, dedicated lanes for public transport. Serious congestion today occurs in the center of Krasnogorsk - on Lenin Street, which goes into Volokolamskoye Highway, at the clover junction of Volokolamskoye and the Moscow Ring Road, in the area of the Skhodnya River and the Tushinskaya metro station. Comprehensive reconstruction of the Volokolamsk highway is just beginning - general plan global update of the entire transport system not in this direction, but there will be significant progress this year - in particular, a significant part of the highway will be expanded to 10 lanes and an overpass will be built in the Tushinskaya area. Basically, Volokolamka is being design work- and on the Mosstroykompleks website this road is listed among the highways awaiting innovations in the near future.
Tomorrow (until the end of 2018) By 2017, the Moscow authorities plan to update 12 "clover" interchanges on the Moscow Ring Road. Most of these beautiful road forks are morally obsolete and cannot cope with traffic flows. Interchanges in the form of a clover leaf are proposed to be replaced by structures with directional ramps. New option Interchanges between Volokolamskoye Highway and the Moscow Ring Road are currently being designed. The road and tram overpasses across the Small Ring will also be changed. railway(MKZHD), which in the near future will be adapted for the carriage of passengers - it will become an analogue circle line underground. Renovation of the Volokolamsk Highway from Pekhodnaya Street to Leningradka will begin this year, 2015.
What are they doing now?
In October 2014, the construction of an underground pedestrian crossing and flyovers began at the intersection of Volokolamsk Highway and Stratonavtov Drive. The project is very expensive, since it requires the transfer of utilities - as a result, all work will stretch for a year and a half. Here the road will be expanded to five lanes in each direction, an interchange will be built near the Tushinskaya metro station and made separate passage to the Otkritie Arena stadium, where the 2018 FIFA World Cup games will be held. Now there is no normal entrance to the stadium - in some cases you have to drive through a traffic jam in the direction of the region, and then turn around and go back. Under new flyover there will be turns in all directions and a turn towards the Moscow Ring Road. Recall that in two or three years, the Tushino interchange and transport hub with a convenient park and ride and large shopping centers should be created here. Also, by the end of 2015, three pedestrian underpasses should be completed: near houses No. 108, 92 and 88 along the Volokolamsk highway. The throughput capacity of the highway will increase by 1.5 times
Day after tomorrow (until 2020) The main problem of Volokolamka remains that it passes through the territory of a very dense existing building and all work on its reconstruction is complicated by related problems in the form of the removal of engineering networks or the expansion of the roadway at the cost of green spaces, etc. In the next three years, Volokolamskoye Highway almost along its entire length will be ten-lane, but one of the most unpleasant places- the passage under the Moscow Canal will remain in the same condition: it is very difficult and expensive to reconstruct this interchange. Future plans authorities to upgrade this route have not yet been announced.
A traffic interchange will appear at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road with the Volokolamsk Highway. Draft Decree of the Government of Moscow "On approval of the draft layout of the site of a linear facility road network— transport interchange at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road with the Volokolamsk Highway” was prepared by the Moscow Architectural Committee.
The reconstruction of the transport interchange is carried out as part of the comprehensive reconstruction of the Moscow Ring Road and is one of the activities of the citywide program of road and bridge construction in the capital.
The principles of the reconstruction of the Moscow Ring Road are based on the separation (if possible) of the transit flow moving along the Moscow Ring Road from the turning traffic and flows associated with servicing facilities in the adjacent territory. In accordance with the prospective scheme of highways master plan of the city of Moscow until 2025. Volokolamskoe shosse and the Moscow Ring Road are class I main streets of citywide significance. The projected road interchange is a Class I interchange.
Currently, the section of the Moscow Ring Road adjacent to the interchange is overloaded with traffic flows and is operating at the capacity limit. The interchange is built according to the "cloverleaf" type, which leads to the emergence of areas of intertwining traffic flows and traffic jams on the Moscow Ring Road, Volokolamskoye and Pyatnitskoye highways.
The transport and planning solution of the transport interchange provides for:
The movement of passenger transport along the Volokolamsk highway is currently carried out along dedicated lanes. Pedestrian traffic in the traffic interchange zone is not provided, the existing pedestrian underpass across the Volokolamsk highway at stopping points ground public transport is not reconstructed.
The activities provided for by the planning project are to be implemented in 2013-2015. The amount of funding for the activities provided for by the Targeted Investment Program of the City of Moscow for 2013-2015, approved by Decree of the Government of Moscow dated September 10, 2012 No. 467-PP, is 3.5 billion rubles.
The implementation of the measures envisaged by the project will improve the organization of traffic in the northwestern sector of the city: it will ensure transit traffic along the Moscow Ring Road, improve the transfer of passengers from one mode of transport to another, and ensure the safe crossing of traffic flows by pedestrians along the Volokolamskoye Highway.
Moscow ring highway, and in short - the Moscow Ring Road - this is the broadest highway in Moscow, where there are no intersections with traffic lights and pedestrian crossings. Drivers can accelerate here up to a hundred kilometers per hour, but often large traffic jams form on the road. They solve the problems of the city authorities with the help of a large-scale reconstruction, which is conditionally divided into two stages.
From the history
The Moscow Ring Road was built around Moscow back in the 60s. Then the four-lane road coincided with the border of the city. Since the 80s, the capital began to include areas outside the ring, and today the administrative border of the city passes along the road only partially.
In the mid-90s, the highway was reconstructed, expanding it to ten lanes, installing lighting, barrier fencing, constructing off-street crossings and clover interchanges at the intersection with outbound highways.
At the beginning of the new century, the area around the Moscow Ring Road was actively built up, hypermarkets and shopping centers were built. Thus, from a transit highway, the ring road actually turned into a shopping street.
In 2011, the city authorities announced the preparation of the next complete reconstruction of the highway. The plans include redoing transport interchanges, building alternates for the Moscow Ring Road, and also building transport interchange hubs near the ring road.
Start large-scale project reconstruction was given in 2013. total cost design and construction works will be about 100 billion rubles.
It is planned that after the reconstruction, the throughput capacity of sections of the Moscow Ring Road will reach 8-9 thousand vehicles per hour, and about 200 kilometers of the roadway will appear around the ring road. They want to complete the reconstruction in the next 5-10 years.
What we have
To date, the length of the road is 108.9 kilometers. There are 39 interchanges on the Moscow Ring Road. The road intersects with 13 outbound highways:
- Dmitrov highway;
- Volgograd Prospect;
- Yaroslavl highway;
- Schelkovskoe highway;
- Gorky highway;
- Ryazan Avenue;
- Highway of Enthusiasts;
- Kashirskoe highway;
- Warsaw highway;
- Kaluga highway;
- Mozhayskoe highway;
- Volokolamskoe highway;
- Leningrad highway.
What is done
The first stage of reconstruction began in 2011 and is already coming to an end. It included the modernization of interchanges, the replacement of ineffective "clovers" at the intersection with outbound highways and the organization of lanes for braking and acceleration.
In place of 12 outdated junctions, modern directional ramps have already appeared - flyovers and tunnels that more effectively cope with dense traffic, since they do not allow traffic to cross.
In 2012, the junction with Leningradskoe shosse was reconstructed. In 2013 - with the street Podolsky Cadets. In 2014 - Volgogradsky Prospekt and Businovskaya interchange, as well as Michurinsky Prospekt. Renovation completed in 2015 Ryazansky prospect, and in 2016 - Dmitrovskoye, Kashirskoye, Leninskoye, Mozhayskoye highways and Molodogvardeiskaya interchange.
In addition, in 2016, the first flyovers and tunnels were launched on Kaluga highway. At the 13th junction - the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road with Profsoyuznaya Street - the work is planned to be completed this year.
Clover interchanges have the property of "self-locking": when one entrance is blocked, all the others "get up" almost immediately. But after the reconstruction, the capacity of each increases by 25-30 percent.
What will be done
At the second stage, it is planned to build new interchanges and exits - they will appear at the expense of investors near large shopping centers, as well as plans to repair individual sections roads. Work began in 2016.
To date, the reconstruction of Profsoyuznaya Street is underway. Also getting ready for work is Upper Fields Street, Schelkovskoye Highway, Volokolamskoye Highway, Generala Dorokhov Street, Lipetskaya street and Besedinskoe highway.
As part of the development of the Moscow Ring Road, 200 kilometers of roads will be built. The section from Volokolamskoye to Leningradskoye Highway is being reconstructed. Accelerating lanes will appear there, side passages will be built on the outer side of 71–72 kilometers of the Moscow Ring Road. It is also necessary to reconstruct the overpass and interchange at the intersection of the ring road with Svoboda street. The left-turn directional exit from the Leningradskoye Highway will also be extended.
Works are expected on the section of Dmitrovsky, Ostashkovsky, Yaroslavl highway. On the section from Dmitrovsky to Ostashkovskoye Highway, 9.3 kilometers long, a road junction at the intersection with Altufevskoye Highway is being reconstructed. From the outside, 78–79 and 86–87 kilometers will be built side passages. Crossing and high-speed lanes will appear near them, elevated pedestrian crossings will also be reconstructed.
The length of the section from Ostashkovsky to Yaroslavl highway is 5.1 kilometers. There will be side driveways and transitional speed lanes.
The construction of the overpass IFC "Hanoi - Moscow" is also planned. In total, as part of the reconstruction of sections of the Moscow Ring Road, 22 transitional speed lanes will be built, the length of which will vary from 150 to 520 meters, and lighting will be provided. Oncoming traffic in sections of the Moscow Ring Road will be separated by a four-meter strip with built-in lighting.
One of the new measures to improve the transport situation will be the closure of unauthorized exits and exits built with violations. Total safety standards traffic more than 200 such elements of the road do not correspond.
Cars turning onto such an exit get stuck in a traffic jam, stretching into several lanes and blocking the road for the main traffic flow.
The working group on the assessment of urban development activities near the Moscow Ring Road examined them. Some of them were recognized by experts as unsafe, because they adjoin the Moscow Ring Road "at an angle of 90 degrees" and are not equipped with standard acceleration lanes. 25 of them may close, others will require serious reconstruction. Accelerating lanes will be made near each exit.
In 2017, the development of projects for the reconstruction of 10 sections of the Moscow Ring Road will begin. It's about about the following areas:
- construction of overpasses and off-street pedestrian crossings on the section of the Moscow Ring Road from Karamzin passage to Leninsky Prospekt;
- reconstruction of the road junction at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road with Svoboda Street, extension of the overpass exit from Leningradskoye Highway to Moscow Ring Road on the section of the Moscow Ring Road from Volokolamskoye Highway to Leningradskoye Highway;
- construction of overpasses and directional overpasses on the section of the Moscow Ring Road from Marshal Zhukov Avenue to Volokolamskoye Highway;
- construction of overpasses and off-street pedestrian crossings on the section of the Moscow Ring Road from Entuziastov Highway to Moldagulova Street;
- construction of multi-level interchanges on the section of the Moscow Ring Road from Warsaw highway to the passage of Karamzin;
- construction of overpasses and off-street pedestrian crossings on the section of the Moscow Ring Road from Mozhayskoye Highway to Molodogvardeyskaya Street;
- section of the Moscow Ring Road from Leningradskoye shosse to Dmitrovskoe highway;
- reconstruction of the traffic interchange at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road with Altufevskoye Highway, traffic interchanges of the "cloverleaf" type with the construction of directed ramps and off-street pedestrian crossings on the section of the Moscow Ring Road from Dmitrovskoye Highway to Ostashkovskoye Highway;
- reconstruction of the traffic interchange at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road and Ostashkovskoye Highway and off-street pedestrian crossings on the section of the Moscow Ring Road from Ostashkovskoye Highway to Yaroslavskoye Highway;
- construction of overpasses and off-street pedestrian crossings on the section of the Moscow Ring Road from Karamzin passage to Leninsky Prospekt.
It is expected that the capacity of the highway after the reconstruction will increase from 20 to 40 percent. In addition, the reconstruction of the Moscow Ring Road will make it possible to seriously upgrade the engineering infrastructure, since great amount communications: gas pipeline, water supply, sewer collectors.
Reconstruction of three sections of the highway will begin in 2018
Clover interchanges familiar to motorists are a thing of the past. As part of the second stage of the reconstruction of the Moscow Ring Road, which will begin in 2018, the "petals" will disappear, and instead of them, directed exits will appear. The authorities have already approved projects for three sections with a total length of 20 kilometers, where work will take place: from Volokolamskoye to Leningradskoye Highway, from Dmitrovskoye to Ostashkovsky and from Ostashkovsky to Yaroslavskoye.
According to experts, clover interchanges are the cause of traffic jams. During the construction of the Moscow Ring Road (the traffic was fully opened in 1962), the designers did not foresee that over time there would be more cars in the city, and the number of deceleration and acceleration lanes would no longer be enough. Moving along the “clover petals”, the cars had to, without slowing down, quickly change lanes and enter radii that are too small for today's auto boom. Instead of such interchanges, directional ramps will be built on three sections of the Moscow Ring Road: this will divide the flow of cars and increase throughput interchanges.
According to Yuliana Knyazhevskaya, chairman of the Moscow Committee for Architecture, in the course of these works, 4.7 kilometers of side passages will appear on the Moscow Ring Road, as well as 11 flyovers and overpasses and 7 surface or underground pedestrian crossings will be reconstructed and erected.
It will not do without casualties: dilapidated buildings that will be on the way of the Moscow Ring Road to a brighter future will be demolished. The city authorities promise to compensate the owners for losses. However, law-abiding enterprises with large quantity The city will still try not to allow places under the excavator.
This reconstruction is part of the second phase of a major renovation of the Ring Road. According to Marat Khusnullin, Deputy Mayor for Urban Policy and Construction, the first stage, which lasted for the past five years, is almost completed. As part of it, 13 major transport interchanges were reconstructed.
On the first section from Volokolamskoye to Leningradskoye Highway, 5.3 kilometers long, the overpass and interchange at the intersection of the ring road and Svoboda Street will be repaired. A side exit will appear on the section of km 71–72 from the outer side of the Moscow Ring Road. And at the intersection of the main road and exits, transitional and high-speed lanes will be built.
On the second section, 9.3 kilometers long from Dmitrovsky to Ostashkovskoye Highway, the main attention will be paid to the junction at Altufevskoye Highway. It is being reconstructed: side exits from the outer side of the Ring Road will appear at kilometers 78–79 and 86–87. In addition, a directional left-turn exit from the highway to the outer side of the ring will be built on this site near the auto technical center. As well as on the first section, transitional-high-speed lanes will appear at the exit points from the Moscow Ring Road. In addition, overhead pedestrian crossings will be repaired at the site.
