The section of the North-Eastern Expressway - from Festivalnaya Street to Dmitrovskoye Shosse - will be completed by 2018. Its length is almost 11 kilometers, there will be many overpasses, overpasses and tunnels. Work on the new site is now in full swing. On Monday, Sergei Sobyanin visited the large-scale construction site.
Almost five kilometers of highway along Oktyabrskaya railway. On the working diagram for the construction of the North-Eastern Expressway, this section is number 7. It will connect the existing exit to the Moscow-St. Petersburg highway with Dmitrovskoye Highway. The amount of work is colossal. Indeed, in addition to the construction of the roadway itself, it is necessary to shift kilometers of communications, reports.
Thorough preparations were made for the start of construction here. The road will pass through a vast industrial zone. To make room, dozens of buildings have to be demolished. Car repair shops, warehouses, garage complexes - all of this is being removed to accommodate overpasses and overpasses. Even pumping station, which serves an entire microdistrict, will be moved to the other side of the railway line. At the same time, consumers will not be disconnected for a minute. Such preparatory work not only takes a lot of time, but also accounts for a significant part of the budget.
“60 percent of our efforts and time will be spent on clearing the territory, moving communications - these are heating mains, water supply, power lines, other underground, for example, cable collectors we have, after which we will begin large-scale construction of the structures themselves,” said the head of the construction department Moscow Andrey Bochkarev.
In total, more than 10 kilometers of roads will be built on this site. Most of it will be on overpasses and overpasses. The 170-meter bridge across the Likhoborka River will become one of the most complex engineering structures. Its width will allow for 11 traffic lanes with access to a large road junction towards the Yaroslavskoye Highway.
“We have started the most complex section of the Moscow road network. This is the connection of the toll road to St. Petersburg and Dmitrovka. We have already completed one section to Festivalnaya, now we have started the second section, which almost entirely consists of overpasses, overpasses, tunnels and a bridge We hope that we will finish it in 2018,” Sobyanin said.
However, the builders promise to deliver some sections earlier. When ready. When the section from Festivalnaya to Dmitrovka is built in its entirety, it will become part of the 35-kilometer North-Eastern Expressway. This will be a “first category” city highway. A multi-lane, traffic-light-free highway that will provide a diagonal connection between opposite districts of Moscow, while skirting the busy streets of the center.

Road construction in the Russian capital does not stop for a day. And, despite the fact that sometimes it seems that all reserves for improving the transport situation are close to exhaustion, city authorities, designers and builders manage to find new solutions to make life easier for motorists and public transport passengers. The commissioning of a system of chord roads and roads will further relieve congestion in the city center and main ring roads.
Initially, Moscow found itself hostage to the radial-ring transport system. And at a time when motorization was proceeding at a relatively low pace, this state of affairs suited everyone. However, the capital was not ready for a sharp increase in the city’s population and the number of cars at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. Analysts came to this conclusion construction company"Monarch and B", part of the Monarch Group of Companies.
The actions taken by the city authorities at that time did not keep up with the pace of its development - new and reconstructed streets instantly turned into places where traffic accumulated.
It became clear that building more and more new rings is a solution that does not have a serious effect and improves the road situation only for a short period of time. But it was obviously impossible to abandon the existing radial-ring system. Under these conditions, the city authorities, together with the best engineering and design minds, had to figure out how to make sure that the city did not end up in gigantic traffic jams in the near future.
The main idea was the redistribution of flows. In order to get from one residential area to another, located at the opposite end of the city, there were two travel options: through the Moscow Ring Road and through the center. Alternative routes were either inconvenient or too time consuming. New route options were needed. This is how the project for constructing a system of chords and rockades came into being.
NORTHEASTERN CHORD
This highway will pass North-East Expressway 35 kilometers long will pass from new route M11 "Moscow - St. Petersburg" to Kosinskaya overpass- junctions at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road with the Veshnyaki - Lyubertsy highway. The chord will connect the Moscow Ring Road, Entuziastov Highway, Izmailovskoye, Shchelkovskoye, Otkrytoye, Yaroslavskoye, Altufevskoye and Dmitrovskoye Highways. It will reduce the traffic load on the center, the Third Ring Road, the Moscow Ring Road and outbound highways.
The other day, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin opened traffic on the overpasses at the interchange of the North-Eastern Expressway with Entuziastov Highway and Budyonny Avenue. In August, an overpass was opened at the intersection of the new highway and Shchelkovskoye Highway. The main work on the construction of the North-Eastern Expressway is planned to be completed in 2019, said the head of the city’s construction complex, Marat Khusnullin.
In addition to the section from Entuziastov Highway to Izmailovskoye Highway, two more have already been built - from the Businovskaya interchange to Festivalnaya Street and from Izmailovskoye to Shchelkovskoye Highway. Currently, work is being carried out in sections from Entuziastov Highway to the Moscow Ring Road and from Festivalnaya Street to Dmitrovskoye Shosse.
NORTHWESTERN CHORD
The purpose of this city highway is to provide a diagonal connection between the northeastern and southwestern districts of the capital, bypassing the city center, to relieve congestion on the Third Transport Ring, MKAD, Garden Ring, Leningradskoye, Volokolamskoye Highways and other highways. The new route will run from Skolkovskoye to Yaroslavskoye highway.
The reconstructed Bolshaya Akademicheskaya Street together with the Alabyano-Baltiysky Tunnel formed the main part of the highway, which in the area of Dmitrovskoye Highway adjoined the North-Eastern Expressway and through the Businovskaya interchange gained access to a new highway in the direction of Sheremetyevo Airport.
Thanks to the Mikhalkovsky Tunnel, it became possible to remove traffic light objects. Traffic has already been launched along the overpass at the intersection of Skolkovskoye Highway with Vyazemskaya and Vitebskaya streets, along the turnaround overpass with Ryabinova and the bridge over the Setun River.
It is planned to complete all construction work on the North-Western Expressway and launch the entire highway in 2018.
SOUTH ROKADA
The road will connect the Moscow Ring Road through Rublevskoye Shosse, Balaklavsky Prospekt, Varshavskoye Shosse, Kantemirovskaya Street, Kashirskoye Shosse and Borisovskie Prudy Street. Rokada will serve as a backup for the Moscow Ring Road and the southern section of the Third Ring Road. Its task is to redistribute traffic flows and relieve congestion on the Kashirskoye and Varshavskoye highways, as well as Proletarsky Avenue. The new highway will include existing roads, which will be reconstructed and expanded.
According to the plans of the city authorities, Southern Rockada will pass from Balaklavsky Prospekt through a tunnel under Varshavskoe Highway, then cross railway tracks through an overpass, cross the Chertanovka River over the bridge and connect with Kantemirovskaya Street in the area of Proletarsky Prospekt. Then, through the tunnel, drivers will be able to get to Borisovskie Prudy Street in the direction of Maryino. Then the road will go along Verkhnie Polya Street, from where the transport will head towards the Moscow Ring Road through Kapotnya.
To date, the section from Rublevskoye Highway to Balaklavsky Prospekt has already been put into operation. Overpasses and pedestrian crossings were built here. The capital's authorities plan to build an interchange at the intersection of Warsaw Highway and Balaklava Avenue. A tunnel, overpass, turning ramps and side passages will appear at this location. In addition, an overpass will be built under the Paveletsky direction, a bridge over the Chertanovka River and an underground pedestrian crossing. And the section from the intersection with Proletarsky Prospekt to the Moscow Ring Road will be formed using existing streets.
Total length of chord roads will be about 243 kilometers. Over a hundred transport structures - tunnels, overpasses, bridges and overpasses - will be built on them. The launch of traffic on new high-speed routes will make it possible to create virtually a new ring, but with exits to the Moscow Ring Road, which will relieve congestion on the last and Third transport rings. The plans are to connect the North-Western and North-East Expressways in the area of Festivalnaya Street with access to the road to the Businovskaya interchange and then to the Moscow-St. Petersburg toll highway. The Southern Road will intersect with the North-Western Expressway in the Krylatskoye area.
The diagrams were also placed for review on the ground floor of the Sviblovo district government building. And the public hearings themselves are scheduled for August 20. There will be a large-scale reconstruction of a huge area of the north-east of the city, and information about this will be useful not only for cyclists, but also for pedestrians and, of course, motorists.
Here are just a few proposed changes: near the Sviblovo metro station, all surface pedestrian crossings will be removed and a circular car traffic system will be made, the street Amundsen want to continue to New Beringov right across the square(!), at the intersection Yenisei And Pilot Babushkin There will also be a roundabout for cars, and a huge six-lane overpass (that same expressway) will become a new transit highway in our district. Now let's talk about everything in order.
TPU "Sviblovo"
01. This is what the picture of what they are going to build looks like. 
02. Although there are a lot of documents and various schematic images on TPU, it’s not easy to figure out what’s what.
This is what the plan of the entire area to be reconstructed looks like 
03. The most important document in materials on TPU "Sviblovo" this one: “PROJECT PLANNING OF THE TERRITORY OF THE TRANSPORTATION JOINT (TPU) SVIBLOVO State Unitary Enterprise “MOSCOW METROPOLITAN”.
The text is placed inside the file "Approved part. Corrected".
The very essence of what is planned to be done is in the Explanatory Note and it is written in a more or less understandable language.
We will publish this “note” in full:
Explanatory note
on planning organization of territory and construction, reconstruction of objects capital construction. The territory allocated for the formation of a transport hub is located on multifunctional public areas and sections of the road network in the area of the Sviblovo metro station.
The development area of the planning project is 10.23 hectares.
The territory of the transport hub, allocated within the boundaries of the planning project, is 8.27 hectares.
The land survey area of the transport hub is 10.23 hectares. The formation of a transport hub in the area of the Sviblovo metro station provides for:
- construction of an underground-overground complex with service facilities with access to bus stops and an entrance to the metro station;
- construction of stop pavilions with service facilities connected to the metro station lobby;
- construction of a hotel with accommodation on the ground floor of an interdistrict multifunctional center.
The transport solution of the transport hub project includes the reorganization of the street and road network with a reduction in controlled intersections due to the arrangement of a roundabout at the intersection of Kolskaya, Novy Beringova Proezd, Amundsen and Raduzhnaya streets in accordance with the established red lines. For the convenience of passenger movement, the planning project proposes the organization of canopies over the metro and stop pavilions to ensure comfortable communication between the stops of ground urban passenger transport and the entrances to the metro. At the ground level in the areas where transport hubs are planned to be located, 11 dimensions of buildings and structures are determined.
The project provides for changing the boundaries of the PK object (No. 99-SVAO “Square at the intersection of Snezhnaya and Kola streets”) in accordance with the established red lines. The reduction in area is fully compensated by the inclusion in the PC of plots No. 10, No. 11 and No. 14 with a total area of 0.40 hectares.
04. What is written in this text? Perhaps the most important news is the loss of the park near the metro. StreetAmundsenThe park will be “cut” and traffic will be turned into a circular route. There will be little left of the green zone. The designer's representative convinced us at the Administration that the road "will go between the trees." Somewhere here...
05. And here too there will be a road
06. Or maybe you can successfully “build in” automobile traffic here!? In general, it seems that the park will no longer exist. It's a pity.
07. Here is an interesting “diagram” from presentation materials that “seems to” talk about the problems of pedestrians in this place.
It is not very clear who from the University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs follows this arrow. Quite the contrary, they move more on the other side, around Sviblovo shopping center. But the main thing here is more red. Like “everything is bad here, but it will be good.”
08. Another important topic is pedestrian crossings. This is what human flows look like in the designers' documents.
The scheme is, in principle, correct. But the desire to drive pedestrians “underground” is not the best option. 
According to the project, all pedestrian overpasses near the Sviblovo metro station will be converted into underground ones!!!
09. These land crossings will not exist 
10. This pedestrian crossing will not exist either.
11. This won't happen either. 
12. And this land crossing will disappear. Everything is underground!
Car enthusiasts might probably like this. Well, what will pedestrians, cyclists, and people with strollers say? 
13. Everything looks great in the pictures at the office. There are escalators to the street, navigation, and even GROUND CROSSINGS with a zebra crossing and a traffic light (look at the middle photo below)! Strange right?! According to the plan, only underground passages, but in the picture they showed a normal crossing and a zebra crossing! In response to our remark, the designer’s representative threw up his hands: “There are errors in the materials, that’s true... On our map, the name of the street was mixed up... Sorry.”
Although it would be more correct to cross out this photo with a zebra with a big red marker. 
14. There is also a presentation at the council about green spaces. It is unclear where exactly this bench will be placed.
15. Probably on the spot Square A few trees will be left, and they will find a place for a bench there.
The fact is that several years ago two buildings were built near the Sviblovo metro station. shopping center. It is clear that now they will not demolish them, but will widen roads and build facilities TPU Now it is possible only at the expense of the last green territory, that is, at the expense of the Square.
This is what the “public space” near the metro looks like now. Continuous shopping malls... 
16. Whether the famous “stop with a pine tree” will survive after all this construction “mix” is also unknown... 
In general, here it is TPU "Sviblovo" will build. It is important to have time to make comments and make suggestions. There are many questions: the fence of house 28 Snezhnaya(something needs to be done with it), hotel, parking, location of OT stops, etc.
Northeast chord
17. All information materials can be viewed.It is almost impossible to make out anything on the maps.
But if you download this file to your computer, you will get very detailed map our area and those places where the chord will go. You can look at the map itself and the objects marked on it for a long time: magnification allows you to see some details...
18. For example, I discovered the new kind street intersections Yeniseiskaya And Pilot Babushkin.
They want to organize a roundabout for cars here.
19. Cyclists, of course, are interested in how intersections with the chord will be organized at popular intersections: with Serebryakova passing through, With Agricultural Street, with the street Wilhelm Pieck, with the street Snezhnaya etc. By the way, the construction of such large highways always entails the reconstruction of adjacent streets.
For example, 1st Botanichesky passage According to the planning project for the new residential area, it will become a 4-lane highway...
20. For example, now many cyclists and pedestrians use these ground crossings near the 1st Botanichesky passage. What will happen after the construction of the chord is unclear.
21. The further cycling route to the side is also important VDNH: under the canvas Moscow Ring Railway and along the construction site Chinese Business Center. Nowadays there are few pedestrians and it is convenient to travel by bicycle. How will bicycle and pedestrian flows be organized in this section after such a large-scale construction of the highway and TPU "Botanical Garden" not reported yet.
Questions about how car traffic, bicycle traffic and pedestrian passage will be organized need to be asked to designers now. Within the framework of Public Hearings, including. And taking into account also the plans of the city authorities to build several huge residential areas in the north-east of the capital (you can read about this also), it can be assumed that in the coming years, car traffic, bicycle routes and the existing pedestrian infrastructure in these areas of the city can greatly change. We'll see in which direction very soon.
For those who are not on vacation), we provide details on the Public Hearings:
Meetings participants of public hearings will take place on August 20, 2015 at 19:00 at the following addresses:
According to the project for planning the territory of a linear road network object: a section of the North-Eastern Expressway from the Otkrytoe Highway to the Yaroslavl direction of the Moscow Railway, including the reconstruction of the Bogorodsky overpass.
On October 2, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin inspected the construction progress of the section of the North-Eastern Expressway from Entuziastov Highway to the Moscow Ring Road. This section is planned to be completed in 2018.
Traffic-light-free highway
The route of the section of the North-Eastern Expressway from the Entuziastov Highway to the Moscow Ring Road, which will be built in 2018, will run from the existing section of the expressway at the intersection with the Entuziastov Highway, then from the northern side of the Ryazan direction of the Moscow Railway to the exit to the ring road.
In this section, the highway will be traffic-light-free with three lanes in each direction thanks to five overpasses.
The new section of the North-Eastern Expressway from the Entuziastov Highway to the Moscow Ring Road will in the future make it possible to redistribute traffic flows and reduce the load on outbound highways - Ryazansky Prospekt, Entuziastov Highway and Shchelkovskoe Highway, as well as on the eastern sectors of the Moscow Ring Road and the Third Transport Ring. In addition, the new highway will significantly improve the transport situation in the southeastern and eastern parts of the city, and will also simplify entry into Moscow for residents of the Kosino-Ukhtomsky and Nekrasovka districts and residents of Lyubertsy near Moscow.
In the future, a new section of the highway will provide an entrance to Moscow for a backup of the Moscow-Kazan federal highway.
Pedestrian accessibility
A new underground passage will be built near the Vykhino metro station. It will be located under the North-East Expressway and will allow access to the subway from the Veshnyakov side. In addition to local residents, it will be used by those who come to the Vykhino station by ground transport.
In addition, during the construction of the chord, two more existing underground passages will be reconstructed - in the area of the Plyushchevo and Veshnyaki railway platforms.
Eco-horda
To ensure that local residents are not disturbed by the sound of cars, a three-meter noise barrier will be installed along the route. Of course, cars will be heard, but no louder than those driving along the streets of the area.

Noise barriers will protect the Kuskovsky Forest Park from the chord.
Even when designing the section, the chords increased the distance from the highway to the boundaries of the forest park. This should protect the natural-historical site from the possible influence of construction. It is also planned to limit the speed of traffic on this section.
In addition, it is planned to plant more than 200 mature trees, 1,800 shrubs, 134 thousand square meters of lawns and 500 square meters of flower beds near the highway.
From East to North in half an hour
The entire North-Eastern Expressway will be about 35 km long. It will run from the new M11 Moscow-St. Petersburg highway to the Kosinskaya overpass, an interchange at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road with the Veshnyaki-Lyubertsy highway. The route will connect the major highways of the city: MKAD, Entuziastov Highway, Izmailovskoye, Shchelkovskoye, Otkrytoye, Yaroslavskoye, Altufevskoye and Dmitrovskoye Highways.
Thus, the North-Eastern Expressway will provide a diagonal connection between the north, east and south-east of the capital, reducing the traffic load on the center, the Third Transport Ring, the Moscow Ring Road and outbound highways by about a quarter. In fact, the chord will become a backup for the Moscow Ring Road and the Third Transport Ring (TTK).
