Reconstruction of “Lobnya-Sheremetyevo Airport” motor road

Stroytransgaz JSC has won the tender and signed the state contract for Phase 1 of reconstruction of “Lobnya-Sheremetyevo Airport” motor road. The road section is located in the Moscow region in Solnechnogorskiy district and in the urban districts of Khimki and Lobnya. The Customer is “Road Construction Directorate” State Enterprise of Moscow Region.

Within the framework of Phase 1of the Project, “Lobnya – Sheremetyevo Airport” motor road will be reconstructed to reach the parameters of the main road with regulated traffic (main street of municipal importance). The number of traffic lanes in the section from the intersection with “Sheremetyevo-1 – Sheremetyevo-2” motorway (Starosheremetyevo highway) to the intersection with “Krasnaya Polyana – Textilnaya” motorway will be increased from 2 to 4. In addition, side passages along the main course of “Lobnya-Sheremetyevo" motor road, two U-turnings, four aboveground pedestrian crossings, six bus stops, sidewalks along the side passages of the motor road with arrangement of entrance pockets and pavilions for passengers will be constructed. The total length of the reconstructed section will comprise 2.1 km along the main course and about 4 km along side passageways.

Besides, as part of Phase 1, the Project provides for construction of a 25 m long bridge over the stream tributary of the Meshcherikha River, installation of utilities and 6 m high noise screens.

Implementation of the Project will increase the capacity of Lobnya highway, reduce travel time from Lobnya towards Sheremetyevo Airport and back, improve transport accessibility of Chashnikovo and Nosovo villages, and provide access to residential areas and industrial enterprises. As a result of Phase 1, the road capacity will reach 35,743 vehicles per day. The estimated travel speed is 80 km/h on the main course.

The works will be performed under the state program of the Moscow Region “Development and Operation of the Traffic Complex” with funding from the regional road fund. The work is scheduled to be completed in August 2022.
