Cities included in the Golden ring of Russia, Ryazan, Tver, Kaluga and other ancient Russian cities can link toll road. A promising project was announced by the head of the state company “Avtodor” Vyacheslav Petushenko. The timing of the project and amount of funding is not known. The road becomes effective only when development of “the whole tourist complex” associated with historical cities, experts say.The project of the new tracks announced yesterday the Chairman of Board of the state company “Avtodor” Vyacheslav Petushenko. “We have a dream ring the Golden ring, combining the historical places and cities in the Central part of Russia, which are now not linked”,— he declared on air of radio “Avtodor”. New “big ring” will connect the Vladimir, Ivanovo, Kostroma, Tver, Kaluga, Ryazan, said Mr. Plushenko. Other details he did not lead: project exists, the timing is unknown, the amount of funding too.Golden ring, recall that in Soviet times was called the tourist route, connecting the ancient cities around Moscow. Until recently, they were connected by regional roads. Only the station Kaluga—Tula—Ryazan has a status of R132 Federal highways administered by Federal road Agency (FDA, the Agency). In April 2020, the government has attached to R132 944 km of regional roads, in the result, the track turned into a 1500-kilometer Federal ring. The decision “will contribute to the development of the tourist route and will significantly improve the economic and cultural development of the Central region”, explained the Agency. According to “Kommersant”, the Agency in 2020 plans to begin design work for the reconstruction or construction of new sections of the route. How do the initiative of Vyacheslav Petushenko and the recently adopted government decision, in the “Avtodor” and the FDA yesterday could not explain.In the Central region, as we already have two concrete rings (small and large — А107 and А108). Between them is built the Central ring road (TsKAD) in the West areas already open to traffic in 2020, authorities have promised to put traffic on the North and East. In 2013, the former head of the “Avtodor” Sergey kelbakh (later left the company in 2019 against him was a criminal case) did not exclude the construction of a new understudy А108, but later the state-owned company to this idea did not come back. Vyacheslav Petushenko said yesterday that one of the ring around Moscow “enough.”The head of the “Avtodor” yesterday released a number of other details for the development of toll roads. He, in particular, said that travel on the ring road will be charged automatically (gates will not) through a system of free flow. When you try to pass without payment, the owner will receive a fine of 2.5–5.5 thousand RUB. But this requires amendments to the Cao, which is still not accepted by the state Duma. Mr. Plushenko also did not rule out the emergence of additional cameras on the highway M11 (today, they are there, but the tightening of control insist the authorities of the Tver region). The head of the “Avtodor” noted that against such a step, but if you start to increase the accident rate, the systems will deliver. “Moscow” section of the M11 Moscow ring road—Solnechnogorsk Vyacheslav Petushenko promised “soon” to arrange the light: dark road previously caused massive criticism users.New track (or reconstruction of existing roads around the Golden ring) makes sense only if the development “of the whole tourist complex” draws the attention of the head of the public Council under the Ministry of transport Mikhail Blinkin. “Serious freight traffic there won’t be, the industrial enterprises also few, but the many attractions, he says. Tourists need hotels, restaurants, etc. will Need to seriously invest in marketing, advertising.” The expert cited the example of a toll road in Spain, running along the coast through Barcelona, which are mainly tourists. For the development of the road network along the Golden ring no matter whether it will be paid or will remain free, said Mikhail Blinkin: much of that funding is still likely to come from the budget.Ivan Buranov Friday the city authorities announced the start of works on the construction of the bridge and overpasses within the project South-East Expressway. “I like the customer has a positive conclusion of the expertise on this site Southeast Expressway, awarded a tender and signed a contract with the contractor Mostotrest received the building permit, signed the act of reception of the cleared site after the reclamation of FSUE “radon”,”— said on Friday the Director gku “Management of road and bridge construction” of Department of construction of Moscow Vasily Dozen. According to him, Mostotrest responsible for the construction of a segment of the South-East Expressway, concluded with FSUE “radon” Treaty on the permanent monitoring of radiation situation in the entire period of the works.We will remind, activists and local residents oppose the strip of the highway on the slope of the plant of polymetals. On the slope earlier, they found areas with radiological contamination, where there are sometimes 200-fold deviation from the norm. Local residents fear that during construction dust could spread radiation in the area. Activists organized around the clock by the slope, to prevent the construction site, clashed with the police.In this case, before the Arbitration court of Moscow has stopped manufacture under the statement “Greenpeace of Russia”, which demanded to annul the conclusion of the experimental forest.rtiz authorizing the construction of the Expressway. Production was discontinued due to the fact that challenging a positive review is not stipulated by current Russian legislation, according to the materials of the court. “We plan to appeal this decision to the appeal— said “Kommersant” Rashid Alimov of the “Greenpeace Russia”.— There were precedents to appeal such examinations in court, so the refusal of the court of arbitration on such a basis seems to us to be unconvincing”. As an example, he cites the appeal of a positive conclusion of expertise in the construction of a bridge in the Perm region in 2012.Anna Vasilieva
