Roads of Russia: One Disaster Becomes Less

64

On Sunday morning, January 26, at the entrance to the city of Perm, from the M-7 Volga highway, the KAVZ regular bus driver drove into the oncoming lane and crashed into a Hyundai truck. In turn, the truck rammed a passenger OPEL. As a result of the accident, 15 people were injured, including a child.

In the Voronezh region, the Priora overtook at a speed of more than 130 km / h and crashed into the oncoming Gazelle. The four dead.



Full six year program


Messages of this kind are constantly flashing on news tapes daily. Highway accidents happen so often that the media have already begun to filter out most of the information.

Roads have always been Russia's weakness. It is customary to call them one of the main problems of the country. The authorities are aware of this. In December 2018, the government launched the national project “Safe and High-Quality Roads”. It should be implemented before 2024. Almost five trillion rubles (4779,7 billion) were allocated for the project. The main burden was assigned to regional budgets (4139,1 billion). The federal budget took over 440,9 billion rubles. The rest is off-budget sources (companies serving paid sites, including them).

A small year has passed, how is the situation today? On December 25, at a meeting of the Presidential Council for Strategic Development and National Projects, then Deputy Prime Minister Maxim Akimov reported that “5 km of regional roads and more than 5 thousand km of road network in urban agglomerations have already been repaired. This is almost 3 times more than in 2018. "

Departmental reports in full will only be in time by the end of the quarter, however, the results of the road workers' work are already visible to the naked eye today. First of all, it is necessary to note the completion of the construction of the Moscow-St. Petersburg M11 Neva highway.

Roads that please


At the end of November, the grand opening of this route took place in the northern capital with the participation of the President of the country. Vladimir Putin rode the Neva in an Aurus limo and said: “In our stories countries, in the history of road construction nothing like this has yet been of such a level, this class. ”

The M11 highway was built for nine years. She received the name "Neva", while passing through several regions, enriching them with new transport logistics capabilities. The authorities, business and ordinary people have new perspectives.

This happens with the commissioning of any highway or even its segment. The road brings life with it. Therefore, people are happy to complete the construction, and not only in two capitals. On Monday, the Kavkaz Federal Road Administration completed a major overhaul of the R-217 highway section on the border of North Ossetia and Ingushetia. The roadway here has been expanded to four lanes and equipped in accordance with the new traffic safety standards.

A week earlier, road workers reported on bringing to normative state two large sections (167 kilometers) on the A-331 Vilyui and P-504 Kolyma routes. A section of the M-7 Volga highway between the villages of Zaimishche and Zalesny was repaired near Kazan. For the first time in Tatarstan, noise protection screens were installed near the villages. In addition, a barrier fence and drainage facilities were mounted on the road, and a number of other important works were carried out.

As you can see, even in the winter months, repair, reconstruction and construction of roads do not stop. Ultimately, hundreds of kilometers of new or normative routes are added up to this.



But the problems still remain.

In the passport of the national project “Safe and high-quality roads” it is noted: 43,1% of roads of regional significance do not meet regulatory requirements. In urban agglomerations, this percentage is slightly lower - 42. On federal highways, another problem. A tenth of them work in overload mode.

Kilometers "out of notes"


Federal highways occupy only a small part of the road network of Russia (56 thousand km against 1,5 million km.). However, they are the heart of all road traffic. Therefore, it is so important today to equip them and bring them into a normative state.

This is a costly affair. For example, the construction of a kilometer of the already mentioned Neva highway cost almost a billion rubles per kilometer of road (550 billion of invested money for 669 kilometers of track — “kilometers of banknotes”).

A similar story is on another popular highway - the M-4 Don. Here, the cost of reconstruction on paid sites reaches 750 million rubles per kilometer. There are M-4 and more budget areas. In October, Avtodor announced a tender for the reconstruction of a 2,7-kilometer stretch of road in the Kuban. There for everything about everything - 850 million rubles.

Evil languages ​​say that in all these numbers there is a percentage of the corruption component. On this occasion, you can be indignant and indignant, but let the prosecutor's office and other law enforcement officers deal with embezzlers.

We will note for ourselves: despite all the obstacles and difficulties, Russia's roads are being built and reconstructed. By 2024, more than half (50,9%) of regional routes and 85% of city routes should be brought to regulatory requirements. Let us hope that one major disaster in Russia will indeed become less.

    This is an atypical article. Soon, at such a pace, an article will be published on bridges built under Putin, and there is generally a zeal for patriots.

    22 of Russia's 32 longest bridges were built after 2000, that is, after Vladimir Putin decided to steal everything with his friends (s)

    The road brings life with it.

    Only if it is a new road, i.e. previously there was no other. Now, with the commissioning of new roads - and they are high-speed, i.e. by definition, they bypass settlements, all settlements that lived off roadside trade on the old road are doomed to extinction. Example - Yaroslavskoe highway, a new section through the Vladimir region. On the road, not a single settlement, and the villages on the parallel "Staro Yaroslavl Highway" began to die out rapidly.

      Bypassing large highways of settlements is a civilized world practice. And the main "extinction" of the village in our country is not because the highways are not laid along their central streets.

        main village extinction

        Actually, I was not talking about an abstract village, but about villages that live by the roadside trade. Look at the free sections of the Moscow-Peter road. How many abandoned stores are there? But these points gave people work.
        And a little distracted from the village, but returning to the Novo Yaroslavl highway in the Vladimir region.
        The constructed, asphalt road was cut off and laid anew, because the wrong sand was put into the base, on the sand cushion. And they found out at the last moment.
        And why did they build this bridge to nowhere? Now it stands, quietly collapsing. How did all this affect the cost of the road and what did the designers think about?

I repeat once again - I was not there on the satellite, I personally walked there, and personally saw what was happening there (growing). Unlike designers. I foresaw such a conversation, even photographed everything myself, but after reinstalling the computer I can not find anything - i.e. no photo (no need to quote Svetlakov: I didn’t post it, so it wasn’t). There is a road from Aleksandrov-Dvoriki road to the village of Korela, but it is already gone from the village: further, across the bridge to the village of Tiribrovo. And the satellite is also gone, everything is overgrown. In the photo that I presented (with a large increase) it is clearly visible.

        Quite right, in developed countries, highways bypass the city, or go above the city, from the highway, there are exits and acceleration lanes. Better not to say road, transport system, which includes a set of solutions - at least 2 lanes in each direction, for safety, rainfall, drainage, markings, noise fences, lighting, intersections with railway crossings at different levels, etc. The four-lane highway should pass through the whole country and connect all cities. In Russia, the road system is, alas, outdated. (Backward) Well, at least the government was able to solve this problem.

        The article is generally correct, the roads are being repaired. By the way, I live near the federal highway, but there is a pedestrian crossing equipped with a traffic light on it. True, after it you have to go into the "pocket" for heavy trucks. Now in the winter they are repairing the city highway, installing a storm drain and completely changing the roadway, by spring, most likely, the site in front of my house and the street in general will be repaired. In 2016-2018, the roads in the courtyards were repaired, as the population is now highly motorized. So the situation with the roads has reached a new level. I will say more, all the alleys in the park were re-asphalted and closed in a ring. If as a ring for athletes skiers for summer training on skis, it's good. For park culture, the concept was certainly not well thought out, because the benches now stand on tiled bases, although they originally stood on the grass, some of the trees were cut down for the operation of special equipment. Well, it was the city authorities who completely altered the park to some current standard. Well, to summarize, the state of the roads is important both for the country and for business, one retail probably drives thousands of tons of goods in trucks, leaving the services of the railway.

      It is necessary that the oncoming line is delimited and so that there are two lanes in each direction, then there will be no need for overtaking along the oncoming line and head-on collisions will almost disappear. If you make intersections by railway crossings at different levels, then there will be no collisions with trains.

    "... two troubles, and one repairs the other." - So, the other problem has also resolved?
    If the entire population is concentrated in two cities, then there will be no ills at all? And what to do with the rest of the territories - quit, sell? - An alternative ...

    Evil languages ​​say that in all these numbers there is a percentage of the corruption component.
    Not only evil, but just normal languages! smile Moreover, the "responsible employees" require a rollback not after the completion of the work, but before - just in case, because before the end of the work they can be removed from office! And from insiders infa that sometimes the rollback reaches 40% (usually with partial restoration of the canvas)!

    I am very glad that a good track was built between Moscow and St. Petersburg. It remains to remember about the regions, especially east of the Urals. For example, in their native Primorsky Territory, patching of roads is enough for 2-3 months, the federal highway M60 at the exit from Vladivostok is in terrible condition, the markings have been erased or are missing almost throughout the city. I am generally silent about the condition of roads in Vladivostok, pits everywhere, open hatches, wells deeply drowned and dug out from under the asphalt, which the contractor did not bother to pick up, asphalt sagging, destroyed curbs, reinforcement sticks out on the overpasses. In the summer, puddles and mud will add to all this due to idle rainfall.
    At the same time, for many years we have been listening to fairy tales from the regional and city administrations about the record amount invested in the repair and construction of roads. And then there are endless criminal cases and arrests of the ever-changing leaders of Road Construction.

      What a wild impudence and lies! The whole country envies Primorye. The central authorities stripped all regions to build bridges to the Russian island and through the Golden Horn. The bridge to the Russian island is generally one of the longest in the world. Roads are expanded, new ones are laid. This is due to other regions. Khabarovsk Territory compared with Primorye as a poor relative. am
      Specifically, you snickered there!

      However, is it not the duty of local authorities to lay asphalt in their cities. From your mayor, ask yourself where the roads are, where the money is. Why complain, but nod to Moscow. Sami then what? We wait until the GDP arrives pit sleeps?

        The answer will be this: in Moscow, because whoever controls Rome controls everything. Almost all cities do not have (sufficient) income. "Raw material superpower" ...

    For some reason, they mainly show us the roads in and around Moscow. Russia, as you know, consists of Moscow and the rest of Russia. And there, in the rest, 99% of the population lives. And uses completely different roads.
