Construction of New Exit to Moscow Ring Road from M-1 Belarus is completed

New motor road “Rublevsky Proezd – New exit to Moscow Ring Road from M1 Belarus federal highway”

Construction of a motor road within the “Rublevsky Proezd – New Exit to the Moscow Ring Road section from M1 Belarus federal highway” project is completed. The new section has the total length of 4.1 km, and it has already reduced the transit traffic in Nemchinovka and Romashkovo, provided exit from Trekhgorka to the Northern Bypass of Odintsovo and an additional route towards the Moscow Ring Road. The works were performed by Stroitransgaz GC.

The facility construction was launched on a personal commission from Moscow Governor Andrei Vorobyov. The section of the new highway starts at Romashkovo Residential Complex and ends at the junction with Chistyakov street in Odintsovo.

A two lane overpass of 94.8 m length was built to comfortably cross the M-1 Belarus motor road, and ring crossings with noise screens were constructed near settlements of Romashkovo and Trekhgorka for convenience of the residents. It has to be noted that, the total length of noise screens in the new section is about 533 m.

The road surface is made with three layers of asphalt concrete pavement: upper layer of base, lower layer of surface and upper layer of surface. The topmost layer is laid with the use of stone matrix asphalt concrete mixture that has high wearing capacity, stability against crack and rut formation, as well as noise attenuating effect.

The new exit to the Moscow Ring Road is a toll road. That is why 2 toll collection points (TCP) were arranged, Romashkovo TCP and Trekhgorka TCP. For TCPs to run fully autonomously, administrative buildings, a packaged transformer substation, a diesel generator set, fire water tanks, and septic tanks for sewage from the administrative building were built.

Utilities were improved: 12 culverts, reconstruction of 4 high pressure gas pipelines, power supply and external lighting lines were built. To collect storm water from the entire area of roads, local treatment facilities (LTFs) were built at the site. Pressure lines were laid from LTFs up to the discharge location, and gravity storm sewer systems, routed to LTFs, were built.

Bicycle tracks and pavements of 2 km total length were laid as part of the project as well. 278 retroreflective road signs and 9.7 km of barrier railings were installed.

The new road has a traffic intensity of about 11 thousand vehicles a day. Due to this road, there is now an option to bypass the traffic jam on the Mozhayskoye and Minskoye highways. Previously, road users had only one option to enter Moscow, i. e. via Moskovskaya Street in the village of Nemchinovka, which caused serious traffic jams.
