Stroytransgaz JSC Will Build Transport Junction in Khimki

Stroytransgaz JSC (STG) has signed the contract for construction of Phase 1 of the transport junction at the crossing of M-10 “Russia” motorway and Repina street in Khimki, Moscow region. The Customer is State Government Institution of Moscow Region “Road Construction Directorate”.

As part of Phase 1 implementation, Stroytransgaz will build a four-lane overpass across M-10 “Russia” motorway, a transport junction at various levels with preservation of existing exits to M-10 “Russia” motorway from Repina street and on the same level with the traffic light regulation at the intersection of 9 May street and will reconstruct Repina street and part of 9 May and Druzhby streets.

The length of the junction within Phase 1 will be about 700 m, of which 158 m is the overpass length. The number of lanes on the main course and road exits is from 4 to 6. The estimated traffic speed is about 80 km/h. The junction, which will be built in accordance with the instructions of the President, Vladimir Putin, will connect Old and New Khimki, produce “good transport effect” for Khimki itself, unloading the existing road link between the districts. The junction, which will be built in accordance with the instructions of the President, Vladimir Putin, will connect Old and New Khimki, produce “good transport effect” for Khimki itself, unloading the existing road link between the districts. At present, Old and New Khimki are separated by Leningradskoye Highway and by the railway. The only traffic artery, connecting these residential areas, suffers from congestions during peak hours. The only way to get to the new part of the town from the old one is via Yubileyny avenue.

After construction of the transport junction traffic will be possible in all directions, which will allow to unload the junction at the intersection of Leningradskoye Highway and Yubileyny avenue. The inconvenience to residents during construction of the junction is minimized by introduction of a temporary traffic pattern. It will also ensure transport accessibility of the industrial part of the town, which will result in a possible increase in the number of jobs up to 28 thousand, and in turn in the increase of the population of Khimki.

The scope of STG works also includes:

• preparation of the construction area within the limits of Phase 1 site (clearing of the territory, redevelopment of municipal utility communications, redevelopment of 220 kV cable overhead power line, 110 kV overhead power line);
• construction of the rainwater sewerage and the drainage system within the limits of Phase 1 site;
• construction of a local treatment facility;
• power supply within the limits of Phase 1 site;
• external electric lighting within the limits of Phase 1 site;
• architectural illumination of the overpass over M-10 “Russia” motorway;
• construction of a transport safety control centre;
• video surveillance within the limits of Phase 1 site;
• construction of a traffic light facility at the intersection of Repina street and 9 May street, and exits of the transport junction;
• construction of noise screens.

The work is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021.
