Ahead of the holiday season, thousands of motorists are already building your route to the resort. Many of them are heading South on the highway "don". What are the characteristics of this path?
The scale of the work that has been deployed on the M4 road is impressive, with annual increases. On this road, thousands of sports fans from all over the world will go to Sochi for the games of the Winter Olympics, and by then it must meet all world standards! Now, every summer, hundreds of road cars will bite into the asphalt. Alas, the construction season is almost identical to the resort, so the main works will be deployed in summer and autumn ... So, this year the builders are going to build 84 km of highway in Lipetsk region, to renovate and expand 59 km of the highway in Tula and Voronezh regions, as well as two overpasses, one bridge and 14 km of highway in Krasnodar Krai. We also repaired 254 km of the canvas along the entire route, 24 bridges and overpass (schedule and schedule of work-in the table). In fact, this is not all the facilities, but only those for which construction and repair contracts were concluded by early March 2011. This year another five will be added to the existing 50-kilometer toll section in the Lipetsk region (bypassing Zedona and Khlevsky). In the beginning of autumn a long-awaited Yeltsin detour will be opened in the Lipetsk region-the eastern city will pass a expressway with a length of 60 km. For the opportunity to fly this distance with the wind will have to pay. But there is also an alternative-the old road through the city, famous for its traffic jams and meticulous vipers. A little later, at the end of autumn, four more toll stations will be introduced. Three of them are circumcations of the cities of Bogorodytsy (225-260 km) and Yefremov (294-321 kilometers) in Tula oblast and Yarkino (330-355 km) in Lipetsk. In addition, speed (and fee) will be a small segment of the road in Krasnodar Krai, in the area of the Hot Key (1171-1185 km); it will be built this summer. The two future toll stations are already well known, because they were handed over last year (bypass of the Virgin and Yefremov). But keep in mind: after a minor repair this summer they will be closed, they will put the gates and ... However, for those who love to count money, there is a free variant of the passage-through settlements, along the old "Don" route, the Federal Highway M4 "Don" (Moscow-Voronezh-Rostov-na-Donu-Novorossiysk, length-1517 km) passes through the territory of Moscow, Tula, Lipetsk, Voronezh and Rostov regions, Krasnodar Krai and the Republic of Adygea. The asphalt pavement is available throughout the road, from six to two lanes. The goal is to make the majority of the corresponding category 1A (except for a number of sites in the Krasnodar region) by 2014.
