Highway M-11 “Moscow-St. Petersburg”
The new M-11 Moscow – St. Petersburg expressway will stretch from the Moscow Ring Road to the junction of the Ring Road around St. Petersburg.
The total length of the highway is 669 km.
The road will pass through the territories of the Central and Northwestern federal districts, through the Moscow, Tver, Novgorod and Leningrad regions, bypassing all populated areas.
The new M-11 Moscow – St. Petersburg road mainly runs parallel to the existing M-10 Rossiya highway and intersects it at km 58, km 149, km 208, km 258, km 334, km 543 with the construction of transport interchanges at different levels.
This will allow traffic flows to be switched from the M-10 Rossiya to the expressway and vice versa. The construction of the Moscow – St. Petersburg highway is being carried out in several stages, each of which is an independent investment project.
The sequence of project implementation is determined by the extent to which the capacity of the corresponding section of the existing federal road M-10 "Russia" does not correspond to the volume of current traffic.
Stages of construction of the M-11 highway:
- Km 15 – km 58 in the Khimki and Solnechnogorsk districts of the Moscow region, bypassing Khimki. The movement was opened on December 23, 2014. This site was built and operated under a concession agreement concluded with North-West Concession Company LLC.
- Km 58 – km 149 in the Solnechnogorsk and Klin districts of the Moscow region, bypassing the cities of Solnechnogorsk and Klin, as well as in the Konakovo and Kalinin districts of the Tver region. The construction of this site is currently in the active phase, which will be completed in 2018. The project contractor under the long-term investment agreement is Mostotrest OJSC.
- Km 208 – km 258 in the Torzhok district of the Tver region, bypassing Torzhok. The movement was opened on December 15, 2017.
- Km 258 – km 334 in Torzhoksky, Spirovsky and Vyshnevolotsky districts of the Tver region, bypassing Vyshny Volochok. The section was built and opened to traffic on November 28, 2014 as part of a long-term investment agreement with Mostotrest OJSC.
- Km 334 – km 543 in the Vyshnevolotsky and Bologovsky districts of the Tver region, Okulovsky, Malovishersky and Novgorodsky districts of the Novgorod region. The section bypasses the settlements of Bologoye, Uglovka and Okulovka. The movement was opened on June 06, 2018.
- Km 543 – km 684 in the Novgorod and Chudovsky districts of the Novgorod region, Tosnensky district of the Leningrad region. The section will bypass Chudovo and Tosny and in St. Petersburg. The concession agreement on the financing, construction and operation of this section on a paid basis was signed by the State Company Avtodor and the Highway of Two Capitals LLC on November 18, 2014. Construction of this section will be completed in 2018.
Technical parameters of the expressway:
- road category – IA (motorway);
- design speed – 150 km/h;
- number of traffic lanes – 4, 6, 8, 10 (depending on the stages of construction);
- traffic lane width – 3.75 m;
- width of the dividing strip -6 m;
- lighting along the entire highway, including traffic intersections; transport interchanges at different levels – 36 pcs.;
- artificial structures (bridges, overpasses, overpasses and cattle runs) 325 pcs.;
- Transport interchanges at different levels, depending on the category of roads crossed, are mainly designed according to the cloverleaf type; “double pipe”, “pipe”.
Measures to reduce the environmental impact to ensure the environmental safety of the facility:
- reducing noise levels when passing roads near populated areas and environmental areas using noise barriers and green spaces;
- construction of special runs in the body of the embankment of the designed road for the migration of wild and domestic animals;
- application of effective designs of treatment facilities for the treatment of surface runoff within water protection zones.
Improving road safety is achieved by developing a traffic management project using modern energy-intensive barrier fencing, using modern materials for applying road markings and installing road signs and indicators.
For better and timely information content of road users, variable information boards and multi-position signs have been developed and applied in the section of intelligent transport systems.
The new highway will be the first new highway built in the European part of modern Russia.
Base stations of mobile operators have been installed on toll sections; the Megafon company has already ensured complete uninterrupted coverage of the cellular network along the entire length of the road.
The road is equipped with comfortable rest areas for all types of vehicles.
On December 15, 2017, the State Company "Avtodor" opened traffic on a new section of the M-11 Moscow - St. Petersburg expressway (208 - 543 km) under construction.
The expressway operates a closed system, crossing which will require two stops: for entering and exiting the toll section.
If the user plans to pay for the toll in cash, when entering the toll section, he will have to receive an entry pass at a coupon issuing point located along the road.
Payment for the toll will be made at the toll station at the exit from the toll section based on the information about the place and time of entry to the toll section contained on the entry ticket.
Vehicles equipped with transponders will not need to obtain an entry pass; the fact of entry into the site will be recorded by identifying the user's transponder when passing through the ticket issuing point; payment for the toll will be made at the toll point in the usual manner.

A new section was opened on the M-11 Moscow – St. Petersburg highway
On the M-11 Moscow – St. Petersburg highway, car traffic was launched along the new, sixth section of the road. Its length exceeds 200 kilometers.
It passes through areas of the Tver and Novgorod regions, known for their impassable swamps. And until now they have not decided to build highways where the estimated speed can reach 150 kilometers per hour.
The road goes around the Valdai National Park and allows you to bypass Bologoe and Okulovka.
To create a highway that can withstand heavy loads at any time of the year, road workers had to completely replace the soil under the highway, build many kilometers of embankments, and make entire pile fields in particularly difficult wetlands.
The length of M-11, which will be completely toll, is 669 kilometers
107 bridge structures were erected on the site, of which 42 bridges with a total length of more than four kilometers (on this site there is one of the largest bridges of the road - across the Volkhov River), as well as 63 overpasses with a total length of seven kilometers. This makes it possible to drive the entire section without traffic lights or stops.
Avtodor is modernizing the M-4 Don highway in the Tula region
It is already equipped with rest areas with toilets; drivers can stop and go to a cafe, refuel the car, including at an automated gas station. There are seven such self-service gas stations on the highway. There are no operators there, and you can pay for gas with a bank card, said Sergei Kelbakh, head of the state-owned Avtodor company.
If the car did not reach the gas station, you can call emergency commissioners who will refuel the car for free and help in another unforeseen situation.
The permitted speed on the section opened yesterday - from the 334th to the 543rd kilometer - is 130 km/h. The fare is 240 rubles if you have a T-pass transponder and 300 rubles if you pay in cash.
With the opening of this difficult section of the route, motorists will be able (taking into account the already existing sections on M-11) to drive with the breeze from Tver to Veliky Novgorod, bypassing Torzhok and Vyshny Volochok. This is practically half of the entire M-11 highway, which will be fully operational at the end of 2018.
Travel for a passenger car along the section from the 208th to the 543rd kilometer costs 660 rubles, excluding discounts that can be obtained by purchasing a transponder. With discounts using the T-pass system, travel will cost 396 rubles.
The total length of M-11, which will be completely toll, is 669 kilometers. The opening of traffic on the section from the 58th to the 97th kilometer, passing by Solnechnogorsk and Klin in the Moscow region, is approaching. It is planned to open at the end of June. Also now the 7th and 8th sections are under construction, from St. Petersburg, bypassing Tosno and Chudovo, from the 543rd to the 684th kilometer.
The traffic police called on parent drivers to be more responsible on the roads
By the end of 2018, full travel on the 609-kilometer highway will be provided. In recent history, this is the first road of such length to be opened in Russia, Kelbakh noted. Traveling along the entire route, not counting the section bypassing Tver, will cost 2,200 rubles without discounts and 1,200 with discounts.
As for the bypass of Tver, in addition to the southern bypass, which is part of the M-10 “Russia” highway, 23 kilometers long (section from the 156th to 178th kilometer), there are plans to build a bypass of Tver on the M-11. Now in the Tver area M-10 and M-11 are connected by interchanges, this will provide through passage along M-11 to St. Petersburg.
The Tver bypass on the M-11 highway is currently being designed and will be built as part of the 2018-2024 road program. The cost of constructing the section is now being calculated, but it will not be cheap, since there are two complex bridges across the Volga. And the two facilities are capital-intensive, Kelbach said.

A new section of the Moscow-St. Petersburg toll highway has opened (DISTRIBUTION SCHEME. TARIFFS) | Report24: News from Russia and the world
On the evening of June 6, traffic on the new section of the M11 Moscow-St. Petersburg toll highway under construction was officially opened, Avtodor reports.
This section of the highway runs from the 334th to the 543rd km from the village of Mednoye in the Tver region to the village of Myasnoy Bor in the Novgorod region, skirting the Valdai National Park and allowing you to bypass Bologoye and Okulovka.
This is the fourth section of the M11 highway to be put into operation. It became a continuation of the existing sections in the Tver region, bypassing Torzhok and Vyshny Volochok, which made it possible to travel through the highway from Tver to Veliky Novgorod (from 208 to 543 km), and this is half of the entire M11 highway, notes Avtodor "
Entry from the free federal highway M10 to the new section of M11 is through traffic junctions at km 330 and km 545. The cost of travel along the newly opened section starts from 240 rubles if you have a T-pass transponder, and through travel from km 208 to km 543 will cost from 356 rubles, the report says.
— Tariffs for travel on all active sections of the M11 highway
The opening of a new section will allow drivers to save travel time from Moscow to the Northern capital by almost a third, the St. Petersburg TV channel reports and publishes a driving map for the opened section.
Earlier, Avtodor reported that the cost of travel through the new section for passenger cars will be 300 rubles when paying in cash or bank cards and 240 rubles for owners of T-pass transponders.
At the same time, Avtodor noted that through travel along the section 208 km - 543 km when paying in cash or by bank card in the daytime for a passenger car will cost 660 rubles, and if there is a T-pass type transponder, the fare depends on the size discounts will start from 356 rubles.
A day earlier, traffic on the Tver ring road was fully launched
On June 5, traffic was fully launched along the Tver ring road, a section of the federal highway M10 “Russia” from km 156 to 178, Fontanka writes.
Previously, this section had only three lanes with level crossings and traffic lights, which led to serious congestion.
Now the number of lanes has increased to four (to the Volokolamsk interchange) and to six (to the northern entrance to Tver).
In addition, two interchanges were built at the 164th and 173rd kilometers (with the Turginovsky and Staritsky highways), bridges across the Tmaka and Mezhurka rivers, as well as an overpass across the Oktyabrskaya railway were reconstructed.
On the eve of the opening of the Tver ring road, work traffic was launched along the left bridge over the Volga River (Migalovsky) at the 176th km of the M10 highway and along a six-lane overpass over the city Avenue 50 Let Oktyabrya.
Both objects are part of the bypass of the regional capital. Now the traffic flow is distributed over two bridges, which together have eight lanes.
Before reconstruction, about 40 thousand cars a day could pass through this section, and now - about 100 thousand, the publication reports.
According to the plan, after the construction of the M11, the M10 “Russia” highway between Moscow and St. Petersburg will serve as a free backup for the new toll road.
Highway M11
The M11 highway was initially planned to be completely built for the FIFA World Cup in Russia, which starts on June 14, 2018, but was not completed in time. It is now scheduled to be completed by the end of this year.
According to the plan, the M11, after its construction is completed and put into operation, will allow you to travel from Moscow to St. Petersburg or in the opposite direction in a maximum of 5.5 hours at a permitted maximum speed of 130 km/h.
The head of Avtodor, Sergei Kelbakh, stated in the spring that the total cost of travel along the entire M11 highway will be no more than two thousand rubles for passenger cars.
This route will mainly run parallel to the existing M10 Rossiya federal highway, crossing it at km 58, 149, 208, 258, 334 and 543, for which transport interchanges will have to be built. This will allow traffic flows to be switched from M10 to M11 and vice versa.

New sections have been opened on the toll highway M-11 and free highway M-10 - Kolesa.ru
Motorists from today, June 6, 2018, can drive along approximately half of the M-11 Moscow-St. Petersburg highway.
This opportunity arose after a new section from 334 to 543 km, which runs in the Tver and Novgorod regions, was put into operation.
Together with previously existing sections (bypasses of Torzhok and Vyshny Volochok), a through passage with a length of 335 km (from 208 to 543 km) became available.
The entire toll route from Moscow to St. Petersburg will take 669 km upon completion of work. The state company Avtodor, which is engaged in construction, plans to open the toll highway to traffic “in full” at the end of 2018.
Earlier, the head of Avtodor, Sergei Kelbakh, announced the price of travel on the highway from Moscow to St. Petersburg. According to him, travel along 669 km will cost about 2,000 rubles. That is, the tariff will be brought closer to the maximum allowable: 3 rubles for each kilometer of travel.
Now the price of travel along the 335-kilometer section is slightly lower: the maximum daily fare (when paying in cash or by credit card) is 660 rubles, which means approximately 2 rubles per 1 km.
The minimum fare is 356 rubles, this tariff is valid for those who use a T-pass transponder (the price also depends on the discounts provided as part of the loyalty program).
For those who do not want to pay tolls on the toll highway, there is a free backup - the M-10 Rossiya highway, which can also be used to get from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Yesterday, June 5, 2018, traffic was launched along a new section with a length of 23 km. It runs along the Tver ring road (bypassing Tver) from 156 to 178 km.
Rosavtodor reconstructed this section: previously there were only three lanes with intersections at the same level and traffic lights. This led to constant traffic jams.
Now the capacity has been increased by increasing the number of lanes (four to the Volokolamsk interchange and six to the northern entrance to Tver).
In addition, road workers built two transport interchanges at 164 km (with Turginovskoye Highway) and 173 km (with Staritsky Highway).
As part of the project, the overpass across the Oktyabrskaya Railway, as well as bridges across the Tmaka and Mezhurka rivers, were reconstructed. According to representatives of the Federal Road Agency, 46 km of new electric lighting lines, over 20 km of axial barrier fencing, and elevated pedestrian crossings were installed on the site.
According to experts’ calculations, before the reconstruction of the section of the M-10 “Russia” highway, approximately 40,000 cars passed along it per day without hindrance. Now it will be able to provide free passage for 100,000 vehicles.
Russia is gradually rising higher in the ranking of countries in terms of road quality. If in 2012 it was on the 136th line, in 2015 – on the 123rd, then in 2018 the Russian Federation was already in 114th place.
Despite this, the state is still in the TOP 25 countries with the worst road conditions, led by Mauritania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Haiti.
Residents of the UAE, Singapore and Switzerland are most satisfied with their roads.

Toll highway Moscow – St. Petersburg
The two main cities of our country, its two capitals - Moscow and St. Petersburg - will in the near future be connected by a high-speed toll highway.
This road is expected - and by travelers, who often cover considerable distances along the “old” route, which in some places leaves much to be desired; and heavy trucks, whose life will be significantly easier with its opening, and the time savings will be obvious.
In the article we will share with you up-to-date information about the state of the highway in 2017, the pace and timing of construction, and the cost of payment.
Which cities and towns the toll road will pass by can be seen on the map below.
Current state of the Moscow – St. Petersburg road
The highway, almost 700 km long and ranging in width from 4 to 10 lanes in different sections, has been built by the state company Avtodor since 2010. “Double Leningradka” will pass through four regions of Russia: Moscow (90 km), Tver (253 km), Novgorod (233 km) and Leningrad (75 km).
Avtodor assures that the route will be “the most modern, the fastest,” in general, the best road in Russia. Well, the author of the article had the good fortune to check this by driving in May 2015 from Moscow to St. Petersburg along a section bypassing Vyshny Volochok. The road is truly perfection. See for yourself:
Currently, two sections of the M11 highway have already been opened - bypassing Khimki near Moscow (Moscow - Solnechnogorsk past Sheremetyevo) and bypassing Vyshny Volochok.
As it became known, the route will be equipped with 13 zones and 64 recreation areas. These can be roadside cafes, motels, first aid stations, service centers and other establishments for the comfort of travelers. At the same time, I equip more compact stopping points with gazebos and sanitary blocks.
The first fast food cafe Mcafe was opened on the 262nd km of the toll highway at the end of 2016! What’s remarkable is that you can purchase a transponder here.
The final price of the toll section from 15 to 58 km (from the Businovskaya interchange on the Moscow Ring Road to Solnechnogorsk) is influenced by the time of day, the type of vehicle, the method of payment, and, finally, the distance traveled. Thus, the cost of travel from Moscow to Solnechnogorsk can cost from 150 to 400 rubles. , and from Moscow to Sheremetyevo Airport - from 100 to 250 rubles.
A significant discount, however, will only be available to those drivers who use the toll road every day. For them, a trip from Moscow to Solnechnogorsk will average 280 rubles. , and from Moscow to Zelenograd – 200 rubles.
When approaching the payment points, a barrier will lower in front of your car for a few seconds. You don’t need to do anything - just wait for it to rise again to continue moving. Such measures will help identify real traffic on the road during the “high season”. At already operating toll sections you will have to pay for your passage.
The driver's procedure is as follows:
- When you enter a toll road, you receive a ticket.
- When leaving the highway, you attach the ticket to the reader and make a payment.
In total, there are 6 points at the toll section that issue coupons and collect fees. All items can be viewed below.
Payment methods for the M11 highway
Separate, visually marked corridors will be provided for cash and non-cash payments. So, those who are comfortable paying for travel in cash can do it through the cashier, those who are comfortable doing it with a plastic card can do it independently, following the simple instructions posted at the reception machine.
If the driver plans to travel frequently on the road, it is better to become a member of the “My Route” program. To do this, you need to install a special device on the windshield of your car, a transponder , which allows you to make payments remotely. In addition, its use gives a decent discount on travel – from 20 to 70%.
Cost of the Moscow – St. Petersburg expressway
Traveling around Moscow will cost the driver 5 rubles. 50 kopecks per 1 km , and in St. Petersburg - 2 rubles. 30 kopecks for 1 km .
The cost of a section of 76 km bypassing Vyshny Volochyok is already known. Drivers of passenger cars will pay 200 rubles. (bank cards and cash) and 160 rubles. (transponder owners).
The originally planned time for the track to be ready is May 2018 , just in time for the FIFA World Cup, which will be held in our country.
However, in April 2016, the Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation Maxim Sokolov made a statement that the last section of the route (from 58 to 149 km) between Tver and Solnechnogorsk would be ready closer to 2019.
Its construction has not yet begun.
Let’s hope that the Moscow-St. Petersburg toll highway will be built in an acceptable time frame, and guests of the long-awaited sporting event will see with their own eyes that the scourge of bad roads is over in Russia.

Toll highway M11 Moscow - St. Petersburg: construction chronicle
The toll highway M-11 Moscow - St. Petersburg is a 4-6-8-10-lane road of technical category 1A, with an estimated speed of 150 km/h. About 100 bridge structures will be built on a 684 km section, and a number of transport interchanges will also be built. The first two sections began to be built in 2010.
Construction on the territory of the Novgorod region began in February 2014.

M-11. Route Moscow – St. Petersburg:
M-11 is a highway connecting Moscow with the Northern capital. Full commissioning is scheduled for 2018. A fee will apply at most sites. The M-10 highway, which has partially lost its capacity, will later become a free backup for the Moscow-St. Petersburg expressway.
Why is a new highway needed?
The project was developed over a fairly long period. The discussion alone lasted more than five years. The load on the M-10 is currently at least three times higher than the standard value. This was the reason for the construction of a new route. However, not all car owners are happy about the creation of the expressway.
Tverskoy section
M-11 is one of the largest Russian roads. Its length is about seven hundred kilometers - this is exactly the distance between Moscow and the city on the Neva. Starting from the capital, the road will pass through four regions. Namely: Moscow, Tver, Novgorod, Leningrad. Which of them contains the largest section of the M-11 highway?
Drivers pass Tver and the Tver region on the way from the capital to St. Petersburg. Moreover, this segment occupies almost a third of the total distance.
There is an assumption that by 2020 the toll road from Moscow to St. Petersburg will pass through Tver. The M-11 highway has been under construction for a long time, and for unknown reasons, delays regularly occur.
Work on the Tver section (from the 258th to the 334th kilometer) has not yet begun. According to the original plan, it should be completed in 2018.
The total length of the Tver section is 253 kilometers. Part of it - from the 208th to the 258th kilometer - has already been built. The Moscow site is almost three times smaller than the Tver site. It was put into operation in December 2014. The road starts at the Moscow Ring Road and passes through the Klin and Solnechnogorsk districts. The Novgorod section on the M-11 highway will be 233 km. Leningradsky - 75 km.
Not only the Moscow section was put into operation, but also the one that runs through three districts of the Tver region: Torzhoksky, Vyshnevolotsky, Spirovsky.
The road that bypasses Torzhok significantly shortens the route from Tver to Volochek. But this site, as already mentioned, will not be commissioned soon. (although according to the original plan, in 2018).
Construction should be completed by the start of the World Cup.
The construction of the M-11 highway is a project whose cost, according to the original plan, is more than 150 billion rubles. Car owners, of course, are primarily interested in tariffs.
The cost of travel on the M-11 toll highway will most likely be revised more than once by 2018. At the moment, the fee for a passenger car is from 80 rubles. The cost depends on the time and day of the week.
The maximum price for travel on toll sections is charged from 16:00 to 20:00.
Rates
The cost of travel, according to the original plan, along the head section of the road should have been 3.62 rubles/km. The tariff, of course, will vary depending on the car, day of the week, time of day.
Driving from Moscow to St. Petersburg along the M-11 highway, drivers see huge banners with recommendations to purchase a “Transporter” - a card that allows you to save up to 70%.
What is the approximate cost of travel on the expressway without taking into account the discount system?
The tariff on the most expensive sections will be 2-2.5 rubles per kilometer. At the entrance to St. Petersburg, owners of passenger cars will cover a distance of 37 km for a fee of 2.2 rubles per kilometer.
The tariff on other toll sections (Tver, Novgorod and partly Moscow region) is two times less than indicated. The total cost of travel on the M-11 Moscow – St. Petersburg highway is 600 rubles.
However, in June 2013, completely different information appeared in the media regarding tariffs.
Increasing the cost of toll sections
The chairman of the board of the Avtodor company said that the price of travel on the M-11 Moscow-St. Petersburg highway will be at least 1,100 rubles. Three years later, the President of the Russian Federation harshly criticized this pricing policy.
Vladimir Putin did not like the fact that no one is using the sites that were put into operation not so long ago. Indeed, many car owners, in order to save money, preferred to drive on broken but free roads.
At the moment, drivers are forced to pay 400 rubles on a weekday for travel on the section that passes through Solnechnogorsk, which is just over forty kilometers.
On the M-11 toll highway, covering such a distance in just twenty minutes is, of course, pleasant. Still, many consider the price too high.
If you have to pay 400 rubles for forty kilometers, then what will be the cost of the journey from the capital to St. Petersburg?
The road cannot be called ideal. At night, some areas are poorly lit, and due to the fact that there is no infrastructure nearby yet, car owners sometimes have to drive in complete darkness. It is still unknown how much it will cost to travel along the M-11 highway (Moscow - St. Petersburg) in 2018.
Technical features
An automated system will be installed on the main section of the M-11 highway, which will control traffic centrally.
Lighting and separation barriers will appear along the entire length of the expressway. To build the new route, of course, it was necessary to cut down an impressive part of the trees.
In accordance with the requirements for preserving biodiversity, the forest fund will be restored through landscaping.
The initiative to build the highway came from the President of the Russian Federation. The decision was made by the Ministry of Transport. The investment feasibility study project was submitted to the customer in the winter of 2006.
Soon a private company was chosen to build the section from the 15th to the 58th kilometer. The estimated cost of implementing the entire project at that time was about 350 billion rubles. Three companies participated in the tender.
The Ministry of Construction chose the North-West Concession Company.
The preparatory work began very quickly, but was completed quickly. The main point of the initial part of the project for the construction of a new expressway was the cutting down of the Khimki forest. Public protests began.
In August 2010, work was suspended. A year later, preparation of land plots for construction began again. This time, unrest among the population and forest defenders did not stop the process. By September, construction began on the section from the 15th to the 58th kilometer.
The highway under construction starts from the Businovskaya transport interchange, located at the 78th kilometer. Here, in January 2012, the reconstruction process was launched. It was completed three years later. At the moment, this interchange is the only five-level interchange in Russia.
Deforestation of the Khimki forest
The construction process was suspended at the initial stage on the initiative of forest defenders. The Khimki forest was under state protection until a few years ago.
Any economic activity was prohibited on its territory, because it belonged to similar objects of the first category.
But in recent years, the territory of the Khimki forest has decreased significantly, and, above all, as a result of the construction of a regional road. In addition, cottages and holiday villages were built along the perimeter.
But, as we see, the conflict with the forest defenders has been resolved. Construction of the route was in full swing until 2017. The problems were resolved thanks to additional landscaping, which, by the way, was also not completed.
Leningradsky section
In June 2012, Dmitry Medvedev ordered the conclusion of a concession agreement regarding the construction of a site adjacent to the territory of the Leningrad region. The contract was concluded for a period of thirty years. According to one of the clauses of the agreement, construction was to take place from 2014 to 2016. Later the delivery date was postponed.
From Moscow to Solnechnogorsk
The first site was opened in November 2014. Soon the entire main section of the road, that is, from the 15th to the 58th kilometer, was put into operation. The road to Solnechnogorsk became tolled in 2015.
When traveling from Moscow to Sheremetyevo-2, car owners paid an amount from 80 to 250 rubles. The journey along the entire section cost up to five hundred rubles, depending on the time of day. In 2015, construction of the M-11 highway began in the Novgorod and Leningrad regions.
The Tver section (from the 208th to the 258th kilometer) was postponed to a later date.
Construction of the highway in 2017
The answer to the question of why the project implementation process took so long to begin is presented above. What was the reason for the next suspension of construction?
At the beginning of 2017, versions began to appear in the media as to why the site for which the Khimki forest was partially cut down was never put into operation. According to the original plan, the cost of the new road was about 150 billion rubles.
A third would be invested by private investors, who could then recoup the money through toll collection. According to some reports, costs exceeded expectations.
Today they allegedly amount to about 450 billion rubles, and more than 80% of them were invested by the state.
A correspondent for the online publication Meduza conducted an independent investigation, as a result of which he tried to answer his readers’ question about why, contrary to expectations, the M-11 highway is unlikely to be put into operation in May 2018.
Problems with contractors
At the beginning of 2017, the head of the Avtodor company said in an interview that in a year only half of the route would be operational, or rather, no more than 360 km. Significant problems arose during construction work on the M-11 highway.
Construction of the second section was supposed to begin at the beginning of 2016, but for a long time they could not find a contractor. There were no applications for the competition. Then Avtodor increased the cost of sections, the length of which is 89 kilometers, to 74 billion rubles.
In addition, he reduced by almost half the share that the contractor must subsequently bear.
A repeat competition was held in July 2016. The winner was Transstroymekhanizatsiya, the company that is responsible for the construction of all sections except the Leningrad one. After this, contradictions began to arise in the news about the progress of the road construction. The head of the Ministry of Construction said that construction will be completed no earlier than 2019. The representative of Avtodor assured that all deadlines were met.
The plan presented on the Transstroymekhanizatsiya website lacks one of the sections. The one that goes around Tver. At the same time, the Ministry of Construction reported that the project will be completed in 2020. Construction of the Tverskaya section will begin after all the others are completed. That is, for several years drivers will have to travel from Moscow to St. Petersburg, covering fifty kilometers around the city.
Bankruptcy of construction companies
The Highway of Two Capitals is constructing the last section.
The correspondent of the above-mentioned publication found out that some companies taking part in the construction of the expressway have not been paid for several months.
Some of them are on the verge of bankruptcy. In the spring of 2017, about 80% of the work was not carried out at the Leningrad site. All this may lead to delays in the completion of the highway.
Not a single gas station
In 2013, the head of the Avtodor company assured that the distance from Moscow to St. Petersburg could soon be covered in six hours. At the same time, stop to drink a cup of coffee. But today there is not a single gas station on the highway. So, nowhere to get a cup of coffee.
Of the facilities present, there are only biotoilets. Avtodor promises to open thirteen service zones located on both sides by 2018.
But at the moment, a competition has only been announced to carry out the preparatory work preceding the construction of these zones. Almost one hundred hectares of land are planned to be allocated for the implementation of this project. From all of the above, we can conclude that the M-11 highway (city.
Moscow - St. Petersburg) may not be ready for the Football Championship, which will take place in Russia in 2018.
