MOSCOW, November 1.
/TASS/. The construction of the new toll highway between Moscow and Kazan will
start in 2020, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Maksim Akimov said on Friday,
adding that it is planned to fully complete the construction by 2027.
"Works will
start at the beginning of 2020, meaning the construction of new sections from
Moscow to Vladimir, which is 145 kilometers, including bypasses of Balashikha
and Noginsk," he said. "The new highway will be fully ready by
2027," the deputy PM added.
The new project
envisions the construction of the highway divided into stages and starting from
two flagship sections - from Moscow to Vladimir bypassing Vladimir, the
construction of which is planned to be launched in 2020, as well as the
southern bypass of Kazan. The works are planned to be completed by 2024.
"The third stage will start in 2021 - the section from Vladimir to
Arzamas, which will be completed by 2025. In 2022, we will start connecting
those sections - from Arzamas to Kanash," Akimov said.
"Pre-project
development is underway for extension of the highway from Kazan to
Yekaterinburg. That goes far beyond 2024, beyond the current political cycle,
nevertheless this work should be done," he added.
The project on
construction of the Moscow-Kazan highway is included in the comprehensive plan
for upgrade and expansion of trunk infrastructure through 2024 and is part of
the Europe-Western China corridor being constructed now.
