Hundredth Beam of Overpass Superstructure Installed in Lyubertsy

The overpass on Oktyabrsky Avenue in Lyubertsy is the most important element of the area improvement project. Its construction on the main transport artery of the city will help to eliminate traffic jams and improve the traffic situation. 100 beams of the overpass superstructure have already been installed.

The Lyubertsy overpass will have 140 beams in total, including those 100 pcs. already mounted. Construction of supports for the artificial structure is nearing completion: 11 of 15 supports are already finished. Other ongoing activities include construction of retaining walls of the overpass, inter-beam joint grouting and arrangement of expansion joints. The total completion status of the artificial structure is about 60 %.

The new four-lane overpass 473 metres long is expected to redistribute traffic at busy crossings of Krasnaya and Smirnovskaya Streets and enhance the Oktyabrsky Avenue capacity, thus reducing driving time by 20–30 minutes.

Completion of the overpass construction and commencement of service are planned for September 2023.

The ongoing improvement of the Oktyabrsky Avenue also includes rearrangement of utilities (60 % complete) and construction of storm water sewers (90 % complete). The underground pedestrian crossing at the intersection with Krasnaya Street is also under construction now.

Regular traffic on the overpass is scheduled to be launched in early autumn of 2023.

As you may know, the overpass is being constructed as part of Phase 1 of the Oktyabrsky Avenue Improvement Project launched under instruction of Andrey Vorobyov, Governor of the Moscow Region.
