The southern districts of the Kamchatka capital will receive a second exit.
About 20 equipment units work on the bypass route between CHPP-1 and CHPP-2 in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The preparations there are almost finished, the bridges are next in line.
"This road will become an important transportation artery that will connect the Leninsky District with the central part of the city," says Alexander Spanov, Minister of Transportation and Road Construction of the Kamchatka Territory.
The road was built as part of the national project "Infrastructure for Life". Now residents of ZhBF, SRV, Kopay and Zavoiko reach the rest of Petropavlovsk by the only road.
The bypass will remove part of the traffic from Okyanskaya, Sapon Hills and Krasnya Supka - there are only two lanes there, and cars are regularly stuck in traffic jams.
The work started earlier than planned thanks to the First Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Irina Yarubia: on her initiative, another 1.25 billion rubles were allocated to the federal budget for the highway.
Bulldozers and excavators remove the layer of vegetation and clear the right of way, and dump trucks move the unusable soil to the landfill.
The route will cover about seven kilometers, rest areas will be provided for drivers and about ten culverts will be placed under the path.
The bypass is one of the projects of the Petroplovsk-Kamchatsky master plan, money was allocated for it on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Governor Vladimir Solodov presented this plan in its entirety to the head of state, and in March, when the work began, he ordered to speed up the registration of the land and the supply of construction materials.
