Two long-awaited overpass in Moscow almost simultaneously opened on Thursday morning. With these new roads should disappear “on duty” congestion on the Volokolamsk highway and at the entrance of Zelenograd from Leningradka

-. I am confident that the new interchange at the entrance to the Zelenograd will be a great gift to the residents of the City Day, – said the mayor Sergei Sobyanin, triggering the movement of the tunnel at the 41st kilometer of the Leningrad highway. – Before leaving the Zelenograd was significantly impeded because the intersection of Panfilov Avenue and the Leningrad highway was at the same level. Now the tunnel is built, allowing to pass under Leningrader

Thus, Zelenograd, motorists will be able to enter the territory of the district without traffic lights. As already reported “RG”, a tunnel was built here on behalf of the mayor. Originally we wanted to build a flyover, but the mayor demanded to preserve mass graves of soldiers at the memorial complex “Bayonets”. Then the road builders have proposed and implemented a tunnel project.

Another problem was the road less and on the Volokolamsk highway. First Deputy Head of Construction Department Petr Aksenov said that there are already two years, was the reconstruction of the overpass over the railway. “It was worn by nearly 50 percent – Aksenov said -. It was necessary to strengthen the structure, expand the roadway and raise the overpass over the railway to the train MZ freely here drove a result, the height of buildings has increased from 5 to almost 7 meters.” <. / p>

Sobyanin became convinced that road builders and designers have coped with the problem. “The width of the road there is now a very different – instead of 6 lanes are now made of 10 – said the mayor -. It is also important that we managed to update not only the car, but the tram overpass”
