In the first seven months of 2024, more than 12 kilometers of roads were built in Moscow, eight artificial structures and one crosswalk were erected. In general, more than 1370 kilometers of road surface have been built in the capital since 2011, said Vladimir Efimov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Policy and Construction.
According to Efimov, a significant amount of work has been completed as part of the formation of a new transportation framework for the city. Since 2011, 1,372.3 kilometers of roads have been built in Moscow, including 12.3 kilometers this year. Also, 437 tunnels, overpasses and bridges have been erected, of which eight artificial structures were built in 2024. The number of such structures increased by 65% compared to previous years, the press service of the capital's urban planning complex notes.
For the specified period 314 off-street crosswalks were built, one of which was put into operation in 2024. Among the most significant objects of the current year are the pedestrian bridge connecting Balchug Island with the Krymskaya and Yakimanskaya embankments, and the traffic interchange at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road with Verkhnie Polyaya Street, completed in March. Also in March, an overpass at kilometer 24-25 of the Leningradskoye Shosse was opened, which was commissioned six months ahead of schedule.
By the end of 2024, a number of facilities are planned to be commissioned, including a traffic interchange at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road with Altufievskoye Shosse, a highway linking the MSD with the Solntsevo-Butovo-Varshavskoye Shosse (first stage), a section of the Solntsevo-Butovo-Varshavskoye Shosse from Novomoskovskaya metro station to Polyany Street (first stage), as well as the Kaluga Shosse understudy (first stage).
