Delayed reconstruction: Dmitrovskoe highway

A large-scale reconstruction is currently underway on one of the most important highways in the north of the capital. Dmitrovskoye Highway has been in need of fundamental modernization for quite a long time. But for various reasons, it was postponed to an indefinite future. They took it up only in the spring of 2012.

From history

The road going in the direction of the ancient city of Dmitrov existed here in the fourteenth century. She had all the features characteristic of a country road. Only in the middle of the nineteenth century did it receive a hard coating. Throughout its length, a certain reconstruction was made. Dmitrovskoe highway ceased to be suburban already in the Soviet period of history. He had to not only become part of Moscow as one of the streets, but also become a very significant part of the city's transport infrastructure. Today it is one of the most important highways of the northern direction. But gradually its throughput ceased to correspond to the required level. Especially large traffic jams began to form here as they approached the Moscow Ring Road. Only reconstruction could radically improve the situation on the highway. Dmitrovskoyethe highway is not the only highway in Moscow that has come close to exhausting its resource. Similar problems exist in the capital in most directions. Therefore, the funds needed for its modernization were found only by the beginning of 2012.

Main Events

An effective technical solution to rid the highway of traffic jams and congestion is the organization of a traffic lightless zone for the maximum possible length of the route. Wherever possible. Equally important is the expansion of the carriageway and the increase in traffic lanes. This is precisely what the reconstruction currently underway in the north of Moscow is aimed at. Dmitrovskoye Highway already has a multi-level transport interchange at the intersection with Koltsevaya. But as a result of many years of operation, it no longer meets modern requirements for throughput and traffic safety. Here, work is underway to build a left-hand overpass on the inner side of the Moscow Ring Road, to which the traffic flow from the region is directed. In addition, a flyover is being built along the direct course towards the city, providing a two-level intersection with two side passages. The project for the reconstruction of Dmitrovskoye Highway includes the construction of a two-level interchange at the intersection with Dolgoprudnensky Highway. The main course of this intersection has already been put into operation.

Reconstruction of Dmitrovskoye Highway: completion dates

Time factorin the construction of engineering infrastructure facilities is always important. Especially when it comes to one of the key highways in the northern part of the capital. But the attempt to complete the full scope of work on the project ahead of schedule was not successful. At present, there is every reason to believe that the modernization of the highway will be completed in the last quarter of 2014.
