North and northeast of Moscow: defragmentation of the road network August 6th, 2013
Some time ago I wrote about Moscow. Let's continue the topic with a review of the main objects of the Northern and Northeastern districts.
A pleasant surprise: in the north and northeast of Moscow, not one, but two chord corridors are now being formed! About one of them, a highway without traffic lights Northeast chord, is well known. But the local and traffic light chord from Festivalnaya Street to Malygina Street(with the prospect of extension to Malyginsky Proezd) is unknown even to local residents.
In blue is the North-Eastern chord, in green is the local chord of the street. Festivalnaya – st. Malygina
Large chord, North-Eastern
The North-Eastern Expressway (formerly the Northern Route) will run from toll road"St. Petersburg - Moscow" to the toll highway "Moscow - Noginsk". Its alignment entirely along the railways (Oktyabrskaya, MKMZD, Kazan) is the best possible corridor for passing a traffic-light-free highway. 
Site plans
Businovskaya interchange with MKAD
Section Businovskaya – Festivalnaya
Section Festivalnaya – Mosselmash
The section from Dmitrovskoe highway to Yaroslavl highway
The section from Yaroslavskoye Highway to Otkrytoe Highway (via Losiny Ostrov) is still being designed, there is no diagram.
Section from Otkrytoye to Shchelkovskoe highway
Section from Shchelkovsky to Izmailovskoe highway
Section from Entuziastov Highway to Izmailovskoye Highway
Section from Entuziastov Highway to MKAD
Now 2 sections are actively being built: in the north (Businovskaya interchange and the section to Festivalnaya Street) and in the east (the section from Entuziastov Highway to Izmailovskoye Highway, formerly included in the title of the Fourth Ring). The rest are being designed.
Small chord, nameless
This chord will increase the connectivity of the local network, broken by railways, and will connect the Northern Administrative District and the North-Eastern Administrative District, Leningradskoye, Korovinskoye, Dmitrovskoye, Altufevskoye Shosse and Yeniseiskaya Street. And in the future it will also reach Yaroslavskoye Highway.
However, this local notochord is so little known that it does not even have a common name! Previously it was called " northern backup MKAD". Bad choice: the corridor will connect local streets, which will remain traffic lights, what kind of backup is there for the Moscow Ring Road? In the Moscow Targeted Investment Program for 2013-2015. this road is called the “highway from the street. Festivalnaya to Altufevskoe highway.” But this is also incorrect: the corridor does not end with Altufevskoye Shosse, but goes out to Bibirevskaya, Shirokaya and Malygina streets, with the prospect of extending to Malyginsky Proezd. In general, for clarity, I suggest calling it highway from Festivalnaya Street to Malyginsky Proezd.
The creation of this corridor will be made possible by 3 overpasses with interchanges - through the Oktyabrskoye, Savelovskoye and Yaroslavskoye directions railway. In the diagram below current situation business
The first of them, between Festivalnaya and Taldomskaya, is already under construction. 
It's interesting that it's being built within the North-East Expressway(more precisely, according to the title of the Northern Rockada, as it was previously called). Some opponents of chords do not like to remember this: this fact does not fit into the ideologeme “the chord breaks local connectivity.” As we see, in in this case The traffic-lightless North-Eastern Expressway not only does not disrupt local connectivity, but even increases it! In the Moscow AIP for 2013-2015. this interchange is called "Section of the Moscow - St. Petersburg (Northern Road) highway", transport interchange at the intersection with Festivalnaya Street." 4,100 million rubles have been allocated for its construction. Time frame: 2012-2014.
The second overpass will be built under a separate title “Highway from the street. Festivalnaya to Altufevskoe highway with an overpass with the Savelovsky direction of the Moscow Railway.” The Targeted Investment Program has allocated 200 million for design; the design period is 2014-2016. 2685 million has been allocated for construction, time frame 2015-2016. There is no scheme yet.
There is no third overpass (through the Yaroslavl railway line) in AIP yet. But the overpass across Malyginsky Proezd, which is now being completed as part of the reconstruction of the Yaroslavl highway, creates all the prerequisites for including this overpass in the AIP in the coming years. It would end isolation Yaroslavl district from the rest of the North-Eastern District and would relieve the Yaroslavl highway from those who need to go not to the center, but to the North-Eastern Administrative District or the Northern Administrative District.
What other new connections will appear in NEAD?
The broken parts will finally be connected Shokalsky passage. Now everyone has to travel 1.5 kilometers, moreover, passing through 2 busy intersections and the Medvedkovo metro station.
Probok.net presented this proposal in the program "Road Paradoxes" in 2011. 
In the AIP, the title is called “Section of Shokalsky Passage from Zarevoy Proezd to Grekova Street”, 5 million are allocated for design for 2014, for construction - 30 million for 2015.
What's next?
It just begs to be extended the local Festivalnaya - Malyginsky route to the west, virtually isolated from the rest of Moscow Northwestern district. Unfortunately, Festivalnaya Street in the area of Leningradskoye Shosse abuts the Khimki Reservoir, and the connection with Jana Rainis Boulevard that suggests itself here is not even in the General Plan 2025. We will monitor the changes and implementation of the plans.
I recently published a report on construction. Finally got around to looking at what was happening in my native area. Today detailed story about construction North-East Expressway(SVH) - a new highway that will connect three districts of the capital: north, east and southeast.
01. This is what this place looked like in 2016. Due to the construction of the tunnel under the Shchelkovskoe highway, big traffic jam for several kilometers.
02. Construction for a while, metro tunnel forever. The work is completed, there is no more traffic jam in this place. Now everyone is standing at the intersection with Khalturinskaya Street.
04. Exit from the temporary storage warehouse onto Shchelkovskoye Highway towards the Moscow Ring Road.
05. From top to bottom in the photo there is Shchelkovskoye Highway, from left to right - temporary storage warehouse. To the left is the Partizanskaya metro station, to the right is Cherkizovskaya.
06. 2016. Narrowing due to the construction of overpasses and a tunnel.
07. 2018 From Shchelkovskoe Highway, exits to the temporary storage warehouse are open in both directions, to the south and to the north.
08. View towards Podbelka. On the left in the photo is the Lokomotiv MCC station.
10. Next, the chord collapses into a compact version. Most likely this is due to the difficulty of clearing land for construction, as well as due to the passage of the Losiny Ostrov park. If you look closely at the photograph, you can clearly see the temporary organization of movement, which is transferred to one side.
11. This is the same place on the other side.
12. The compact version of the route looks like this: traffic from the north will be organized along an overpass, which has not yet been opened, and traffic from the south will pass under the overpass. Thus, the route will take up almost half the area.
13. For now, traffic is open to the Mytishchi overpass (to the Open Highway). Next comes construction. Here you can clearly see two tracks located one below the other.
14. Open highway, view towards Metrogorodok. Eh, Metrotown, my homeland)
15. Construction of a highway towards the Yaroslavl highway. Everything is still in full swing here. On the right you can see the MCC station "Rokossovsky Boulevard".
16. Future branches. On the left are the industrial zones of Metrogorodok.
18. Closer to Losinoostrovskaya Street. Construction of communications is currently underway here. As far as I know, the section up to the Yaroslavskoye Highway is still being designed and approved for the design of the chord.
19. Let's look at the chord from the other side. View towards Partizanskaya. Everything here has been open for a long time, the only thing missing is an intercepting parking lot at the MCC station.
20. Intersection of the chord with Entuziastov Highway. Here, almost all overpasses are already open, except for direct travel to the south along the expressway and the exit from Entuziastov Highway.
21. Set it up!
22. View from Entuziastov Highway to the south. On the right you can see the interchange with Budyonny Avenue.
23. In this place on all diagrams a “knot” is tied on the chord. The main route will go further south parallel to the MCC, and the chord itself will sharply go southeast to Vykhino.
24. At first glance, you can’t figure it out without a hundred grams. But it's simple. On the left comes the chord from Vykhino. If you follow it straight, you will end up on Budyonny Avenue (it goes to the right in the frame), if you turn right, you will end up on the continuation of the chord that goes north (at the bottom of the frame). On top is the Andronovka MCC station and the groundwork for the future construction of the highway at the top of the frame.
27. Unique time while the road is not yet open. You can freely walk along the highway.
29. View of the same junction from Perovo.
30. Large freight station "Perovo".
33. View towards Kuskovo park. At this section the chord is almost ready.
35. View towards Vykhino. The first overpass is Papernik and Yunost streets, the second, in the distance, is the Moscow Ring Road.
36. It turns out that in the near future we will have the opening of a highway from the Moscow Ring Road to the Open Highway. For me personally, a person living in Izmailovo, this will be a long-awaited event.
Dmitry Chistoprudov,
Construction work on the section of the North-Eastern Expressway from Dmitrovskoye Shosse to Yaroslavskoye Shosse is planned to begin in next year, First Deputy Head of the Moscow Construction Department Pyotr Aksenov told reporters on Thursday.
"From Dmitrovskoe highway to Yaroslavsky project developed and agreed upon. We plan to start construction next year.", - said Aksenov.
"The object is simple, artificial structures practically none", - Aksenov noted.
He clarified that the road that Russian Railways had previously committed to build along the MCC could be used to connect the Yaroslavskoye and Otkrytoye highways.
"We are developing design documentation for the passage of the chord through “Elk Island” together with the ministry natural resources and the ecology of the Russian Federation, because this object should be linked to the reconstruction of the Shchelkovskoye highway in the Moscow region. The process is currently in the process of being resolved.", - said Aksenov.
North-East Expressway total length about 35 kilometers will pass from new route M-11 Moscow - St. Petersburg to Kosinskaya overpass(interchange of the MKAD with the Veshnyaki - Lyubertsy highway). The chord will connect major highways: 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.

About 60-70% of planned completion construction work on the North-East Expressway in Moscow, First Deputy Head of the Moscow Construction Department Pyotr Aksenov told reporters on Thursday.
“Almost today, the North-Eastern Expressway is 60-70% complete”, - said Aksenov.
. . . . .
In 2019, the capital plans to begin construction of two sites South-East Expressway, full construction of the South-Eastern Expressway will begin in 2020, First Deputy Head of the Moscow Construction Department Pyotr Aksenov told reporters on Thursday.
“We expect that the two difficult sections, which are from the Entuziastov highway to “ Ryazanka” and from “ Ryazanka” to (streets - ed.) Polbina<...>, construction will begin next year", - said Aksenov.
He clarified that the full construction of the South-Eastern Expressway will begin in 2020.
The capital’s authorities plan to build the South-Eastern Expressway by the end of 2025 in three stages, and after the second - in 2023 - a new transport ring of chords will be completely closed. The length of the South-Eastern Expressway in the section from Entuziastov Highway to the 35th kilometer of the Moscow Ring Road will be 36 kilometers, of which 11 are on the already existing street and road network. The chord will pass through ten districts of Moscow and cross five highways.
The new highway will fill the deficit of cross connections in the southeastern sector of the city, the territory of which is fragmented, as there are many obstacles of natural and artificial origin.
Moscow. The construction of the North-Eastern Expressway (SVH) is 70% completed, said the first deputy head of the capital’s construction department, Pyotr Aksenov, on Thursday.
“If we talk about kilometres, today the north-eastern expressway is 70% completed”, - said P. Aksenov at a press conference.
As reported, at the end of August, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin opened traffic along three sections of the temporary storage warehouse - from Shchelkovskoye to Otkrytoye Shosse, from Entuziastov Highway to the Moscow Ring Road and from Festivalnaya Street to Dmitrovskoye Shosse.
The total length of the temporary storage warehouse will be 35 km, it will run from the Moscow-Petersburg road on the western side of the Oktyabrskaya railway, along Moskovsky central ring to new interchange on the Moscow Ring Road at the intersection with the Veshnyaki-Lyubertsy highway. In fact, the route will connect major highways in the north-eastern part of the city - Izmailovskoye, Shchelkovskoye, Dmitrovskoye, Altufevskoye and Otkrytoe highways, reducing the traffic load on the center, the Third Transport Ring and the Moscow Ring Road.
. . . . .
“This year, major work was carried out on the section of the highway from the Moscow Ring Road to the Entuziastov Highway,” said P. Aksenov, RIAMO reports.
Earlier, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Marat Khusnullin said that all large-scale road construction projects related to the construction of high-speed chord highways will be completed in the next five years.
Let us remind you that the North-East Expressway is a new highway that will connect three districts of the capital: north, east and south-east.
It will stretch from the new M11 Moscow - St. Petersburg highway to the Kosinskaya overpass (the MKAD interchange with the Veshnyaki - Lyubertsy highway) and will connect major highways: Izmailovskoye, Shchelkovskoye, Dmitrovskoye, Altufevskoye and Otkrytoye highways.
The chord length will be about 35 km. It will pass through 28 districts of Moscow and 10 large industrial zones, which will have the opportunity to develop.
There will be access roads to 12 transport hubs, 21 metro stations and the MCC, as well as to the platforms of the Savelovsky and Kazan directions of the Moscow Railway and the Oktyabrskaya Railway.
Open September 5 temporary storage area from Festivalnaya Street to Dmitrovskoe Highway. The design of sections of the highway from Dmitrovka to Yaroslavskoye Highway and from Yaroslavka to Otkrytoye Shosse is currently underway.
In Moscow for last month opened the third section of the North-Eastern Expressway (SVH) - from Festivalnaya Street to Dmitrovskoye Highway. This route, about 5 km long, runs along the tracks of the Oktyabrskaya Railway. The site includes 8 artificial structures – 7 overpasses and a bridge across the Likhoborka River. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin came to the opening on September 5. According to him, 2/3 of the North-East Expressway has already been built.
The M-11 St. Petersburg-Moscow toll road has long approached Moscow and reached the Businovskaya interchange, but this is where construction ended in due course. It turned out that big federal highway does not have normal integration with city roads. All motorists from the toll road end up on the MKAD and end up in the usual MKAD traffic jam. This means that the highway itself is not working properly, said Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin.
Now, thanks to the section from Festivalnaya Street to Dmitrovskoe Highway, the M-11 federal highway “Moscow – St. Petersburg” has fully entered the city. Now cars from St. Petersburg, Tver, Zelenograd, Sheremetyevo Airport and cities in the Moscow region can directly, bypassing the Moscow Ring Road, enter the city, turn onto the North-Western Expressway and drive through half of Moscow right up to Michurinsky Prospekt. Or they can take the Dmitrovskoye Highway and follow it to the center of Moscow.
This will relieve congestion on a number of roads in Moscow and make toll road more efficient. It will relieve part of the load from Leningradka, Dmitrovka and Korovinskoye Highway, Bolshaya Akadimicheskaya. In general, it will improve the situation in the north of Moscow. This applies to at least five districts Northern District, - explained the mayor of the city.
The next stage will be the construction of two sections: from Dmitrovskoye Shosse to Yaroslavskoye Shosse and from Yaroslavskoye Shosse to Otkrytoye Shosse. According to Sergei Sobyanin, construction will begin in 2019 and will take two to three years.
We didn’t design or build in parallel for a long time. Difficulties are associated with communications operating road networks, by railroad. I hope that we will build it within two or three years,” said the mayor of Moscow.
In the near future, the construction of the Khovrino transport hub will be completed, which will include a metro station, a new railway platform and an intercity bus station. And then the city will be fully ready to accept not only motorists, but also passengers along the M-11 highway public transport. A transport hub is also being formed near the Petrovsko-Razumovskaya metro station.
AND AT THIS TIME
The traffic-free section of the North-Eastern Expressway from Entuziastov Highway to the Moscow Ring Road has been opened. It will improve the transport situation in the southeastern and eastern sectors of the city.
About the North-East Expressway
North-Eastern the chord will pass from the Moscow–St. Petersburg road on the western side of the Oktyabrskaya Railway, along the Moscow Central Circle, to the new interchange on the Moscow Ring Road at the intersection with the Veshnyaki–Lyubertsy highway.
The route will connect major highways: Izmailovskoye, Shchelkovskoye, Dmitrovskoye, Altufevskoye and Otkrytoye highways.
AREAS
From Dmitrovskoe highway to Yaroslavskoe highway - construction will begin in 2019;
From Yaroslavskoye Highway to Otkrytoye Highway - construction will begin in 2019;
It is planned to open traffic on two sections of the North-East Expressway by early autumn. Will go within the next month initial segment from the Businovskaya interchange to the Dmitrovskoye Highway, and also by the beginning of autumn, it is planned to launch traffic along the final section of the route - from the Entuziastov Highway to the Moscow Ring Road.
Read about the stage of readiness of sections of the North-Eastern Expressway and when they are expected to open in the material of the Moscow 24 portal.
From Businovskaya interchange to Dmitrovskoe highway
Now the road between Dmitrovskoye Highway, Festivalnaya Street And Businovskaya interchange almost ready, builders are finishing the construction of a two-hundred-meter section in the area of the Khovrinskaya pumping station.
“The Khovrinskaya pumping station, which supplied more than three and a half thousand consumers, fell into the construction zone. We built new station, but they were able to disconnect all systems from the previous one only on May 15 of this year, and they quickly began to build a two-hundred-meter section. We expect to finish in September. We will strive to open traffic for City Day,” First Deputy Head of the Construction Department Pyotr Aksenov told the Moscow 24 portal.
What is ready on the section from Dmitrovskoye Highway to Festivalnaya Street?
More than 11 kilometers of four-lane main road, seven overpasses, two of which are one and a half kilometers long, and ramps ranging from 300 to 500 meters in length were built on the site. A new overpass across the Oktyabrskaya Railway and a bridge over the Likhoborka River were built.
“At the same time, the construction of the overpass across the railway proceeded without stopping the movement of trains,” noted the first deputy head of the Department of Construction.
We also took care of noise protection expressway. “We have replaced six thousand window blocks, and we will also build about two kilometers of noise barriers,” Aksenov promised. According to him, trees will be planted along the road.
In October, a reversal overpass will be built on Bolshaya Akademicheskaya Street, connecting the North-East Expressway with the North-West. “The overpass on Bolshaya Akademicheskaya Street is the first part of the connection of the two expressways. It makes it possible to turn around on Bolshaya Akademicheskaya Street and enter the North-Eastern Expressway without entering Dmitrovskoe Highway,” Aksenov noted.
From the Entuziastov highway to the interchange with the Moscow Ring Road "Veshnyaki - Lyubertsy"
In September, it is planned to open traffic on another section of the North-Eastern Expressway: from Entuziastov Highway to the Veshnyaki-Lyubertsy interchange on the Moscow Ring Road. The stumbling block here was the old traction substation Gorky direction Moscow railway. According to Pyotr Aksenov, the capital’s government has agreed with the Moscow Railway on the demolition of the substation and the construction of a new one.
“We turned off the traction substation and switched it to a new one, after which we began to complete the road. Full traffic from the Entuziastov highway to the interchange with the MKAD “Veshnyaki - Lyubertsy” will open in early autumn,” he promised.
From Otkrytoye to Shchelkovskoe highway
By the end of the year, the capital’s authorities plan to open traffic from Otkrytoye to Shchelkovskoye highway. Overpasses of the main passage and side passages were built here. And also a tunnel under the Shchelkovskoye Highway, which is going to open in the coming months. According to Pyotr Aksenov, the construction of roads more than eight kilometers long with relaying engineering communications is in full swing.
“On the section of the first section, traffic is planned to be opened within the next month. The main work of the first stage of construction has been completed. It includes the laying of about 5.5 kilometers of roads, including the construction of three overpasses about 3.4 kilometers long,” said a government official.
He also noted that thanks to the commissioning of a new section, traffic flows between Shchelkovsky and Open highway. This will reduce the traffic load on Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya, Stromynka, Krasnobogatyrskaya streets and Rusakovskaya embankment. In addition, it will increase transport accessibility Golyanovo and Metrogorodok districts.
From Dmitrovskoe highway to Yaroslavskoe highway
Next year, construction of the section of the North-Eastern Expressway from Dmitrovskoye to Yaroslavskoye Highway may begin.
"The planning project has passed public hearings, has finally received approval from the Moscow government, design is now underway. The area is very difficult, there is a bunch of large industrial enterprises And huge amount engineering networks. We are doing everything possible so that construction begins next year,” said the first deputy head of the Department of Construction.
He emphasized that the design of the site and the liberation of the territory will be carried out at the expense of budget money. “We are already starting to work: demolishing garages and interacting with industrial enterprises that fall into the construction zone,” Aksenov noted.
At the same time, there is a proposal from investors to build a road from Dmitrovskoye to Yaroslavskoye highway on a concession basis, but final decision no decision has been made on this issue yet, he explained.
From Otkrytoye to Yaroslavskoe highway
The only section of the North-Eastern Expressway on which no work is currently underway is from Otkrytoye to Yaroslavskoye Highway.
"The problem is that the road is supposed to go along national park"Losiny Ostrov", there is no final decision on the layout of the site yet. The Moscow Committee for Architecture is working on the work, when the department completes the work, then we will start talking about the construction of the site,” summed up Pyotr Aksenov.
