A memorial stone was laid in Crimea, symbolizing the beginning of the construction of the Taurida highway. Construction and reconstruction work will begin in the summer of 2017 at the same time almost along the entire length of the route, the press service of Rosavtodor told Gazeta.Ru.

According to the Minister of Transport of Russia, the timing of the construction of the route will be associated with the pace of construction of a transport passage through the Kerch Strait, and next year the first stage of the construction of this road to Simferopol will be put into operation. In December 2018, it is planned to complete the construction of two lanes and open the working movement.

Completion of the entire complex of construction works is scheduled for December 2020.

According to Maxim Sokolov, the construction of the Tavrida highway will not exceed 140 billion rubles in 2016 prices.

Recall that in 2016, the head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, said that the cost of the four-lane highway "Tavrida" through the entire peninsula would be about 85 billion rubles. In subsequent statements by Aksyonov, the cost of the route increased by 43 billion rubles - up to 128 billion. And in the summer of 2016, the Deputy Prime Minister of Crimea announced already about 139 billion needed for Tavrida. Later, these figures were confirmed by the head of the Crimea himself.

Most of the required amount, about 100 billion rubles, will be allocated. Earlier, when evaluating the amount allocated to Crimea, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev called it more than significant.

“We have found the necessary funding for the construction of the road in full,” Medvedev said. - The amount of more than 100 billion rubles is such that it requires the most careful attention. The maximum price of the road and already defined parameters are not subject to adjustment.”

Emphasizing the significance of the allocated amount, Medvedev demanded that the Crimean leadership personally monitor the progress of road construction on the peninsula and their quality, and in case of serious problems, immediately report to.

“We just need to control what is happening ourselves,” said Medvedev, who himself regularly gets behind the wheel during business trips. “There is nothing difficult about driving yourself, driving on a new road in a few months, and seeing what condition it is in. If it remains in good condition, then the contractor must receive all 100% of what is under the contract, what he is entitled to.

And if it swells up somewhere or, conversely, fails, then you need to beat your hands, force it to be redone. If this is something completely boorish, then all materials should be sent to law enforcement agencies.

In order to prevent "theft, which, unfortunately, also happens," Medvedev demanded that he be informed how efficiently and timely the allocated funds are being spent.

The Tavrida highway will connect Kerch, where a bridge across the Kerch Strait will be built, with Simferopol and Sevastopol.

It will be a four-lane road of the first technical category with a length of 237.5 km and an estimated speed of up to 120 km/h. Its capacity should reach 43,000 vehicles per day.

The route will pass through the territory of Crimea from east to west along the route Kerch - Feodosia - Belogorsk - Simferopol - Bakhchisaray - Sevastopol and will become the basis of the peninsula's road network. Partially, the Tavrida highway will coincide with the existing road, but a significant section will be laid outside the Simferopol-Feodosia highway.

So, from Kerch the road will pass not far from the villages of Batalnoe, Lugovoe, then it will go to Vladislavovka, where the builders will lay the road in the Kirovsky and Belogorsky districts. The new highway will provide a transport connection between Simferopol and the western regions and the territory of the Krasnodar Territory and will relieve the street network of settlements from heavy and transit traffic.

It is planned to build 17 transport interchanges and 90 artificial structures - bridges and overpasses along the entire length of the route. Currently, as part of the preparation of the territory for construction, warehouse and technological sites have been equipped, access roads have been laid. The territory is being surveyed for the presence of explosive objects, the upper soil and vegetation layer is being removed.

The Tavrida federal highway between Kerch and Sevastopol is 30% ready. This was reported in the State Committee of the Road Economy of Crimea. According to representatives of local authorities, work is progressing at an accelerated pace. It is assumed that the first stage of construction will be completed by the end of 2018, and the full opening of the highway will take place in 2020. The road will run from the Crimean bridge, which will begin traffic in May. How the opening of Taurida will affect tourist flows and the economy of the peninsula - in the RT material.

The Tavrida federal highway passing through Crimea is 30% ready. This was announced by the chairman of the state committee of the road economy of the republic Sergey Karpov. He noted that the construction of the road began on May 12, 2017, when the memorial stone was laid.

“A year later, we can sum up the first results: the Tavrida track has been built by 30% over its entire length, which is more than 250 km,” RIA Novosti quotes Karpov.

The department noted that the first stage of construction should be completed by the end of 2018. By that time, two lanes will be ready. The second stage (four lanes) will end at the end of 2020. Karpov stressed that the work is being carried out around the clock and in accordance with the schedule. Over a thousand units of equipment and more than three thousand workers are involved in the construction.

“This is a huge building. Almost all the way to Kerch, machinery is working, people are working, the Tavrida track is being built at an accelerated pace. Of course, this is a very important route for us, especially since the bridge is almost ready, ”Yuri Gempel, a member of the Crimean State Council Committee on Construction and Housing and Communal Services, said in an interview with RT.

The Tavrida highway will connect Kerch with Simferopol and Sevastopol. As previously reported in the Ministry of Transport of Russia, in May 2018, an auto-approach will be opened from the Crimean bridge, which will connect the peninsula with the Kuban, to the junction with the Crimean road. The bridge should be open to traffic.

Already now, guests of the Crimea can evaluate the results of the construction of the route, Alexei Chernyak, head of the Crimean parliament committee on the sanatorium and resort complex and tourism, said in a conversation with RT.

“For Crimea, this is very important. Although de jure we are a peninsula, de facto we are an island, and without a bridge and this route, it will be practically impossible for Crimea to develop. The ferry service, which delivers not only our tourists, but also all cargo, food, building materials, depends on the weather, on the operation of the ferry crossing. It is no longer possible to expand it, ”the deputy said.

According to him, the construction of the highway and the bridge will reduce the cost of goods, including food, and, consequently, will reduce the cost of Russians for holidays in Crimea, as well as simplify logistics for guests of the peninsula.

“Tourists will not need to adjust to the ferry. People will be able to travel by bus, personal transport, bicycles. Passability through the bridge and the highway is planned to be huge. There will be a high-speed mode, four-lane traffic. Literally in two and a half hours it will be possible to get from Kerch to Sevastopol, ”said the parliamentarian.

He noted that the new infrastructure will allow Crimea to receive 8-10 million tourists, noting that this will happen "not in some decades, but in the next five years."

Acceleration of the tourist flow

The highway "Tavrida" will pass along the route Kerch - Feodosia - Belogorsk - Simferopol - Bakhchisarai - Sevastopol. At the same time, the route will be laid around major cities, which will reduce travel time.

It is assumed that it will be possible to drive from Kerch to Simferopol in about two hours, to Sevastopol in less than three. The length of the highway will be 250.75 km. Motorists will be able to drive on it at speeds up to 120 km/h.

According to the calculations of the State Committee for the Road Economy of Crimea, the total cost of the construction of the route will be 163 billion rubles.

Before starting work, the authorities emphasized that the project would not harm the ecology of the peninsula.

“There will be no threat to the environment, natural values, protected lands. This is a priority. We will not just shred the Crimean land like that, ”said the head of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov.

The Crimean authorities also promised to create additional roadside infrastructure for car tourists during the construction of the route. Minister of Resorts and Tourism of Crimea Vadim Volchenko told RIA Novosti that an influx of tourists is expected on the peninsula in connection with the opening of the automobile part of the bridge.

“The road is being built, it will be open in parts, somewhere we will organize detours, open small agricultural markets with the obligatory observance of all sanitary conditions so that a tourist bus or a car with a family can stop, buy fruit, visit a bathroom. We understand where we usually have more difficult traffic, and in these places we will try to offer alternative travel, ”he emphasized.

The latest information about the largest transport project in Crimea - construction, was provided by the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Crimea and the Highway Service of the Republic of Crimea. Many data confirm the already given. So, what pleased the Ministry of all those who follow the news of the design and construction of the Crimean autobahn.

The exact length of the road will be 253.5 km, excluding approaches to the Kerch bridge and the territory of Sevastopol. Like us, Taurida will pass through the territory of 6 municipalities: Leninsky district, Feodosia district, Kirovsky district, city of Sudak, Belogorsky district, town of Simferopol, Simferopol district, city of Bakhchisaray, Bakhchisaray district.

Reported on six stages of work on the construction of the road

Stage 1. km 0 - km 76(the beginning of the section in a new direction in the area of ​​​​the village of Primorsky)

Stage 2. km 76(the beginning of the section in a new direction in the area of ​​​​the village of Primorsky) - km 126(exit to the A.D. Belogorsk - Lgovskoe near the village of Lgovskoe)

Stage 6 km 224(exit to the highway Simferopol - Bakhchisarai - Sevastopol near the village of Levadki) - km 253+500 (border of the Bakhchisarai region).

All parameters, data and figures are summarized in a common table, which we present to your attention.

It turned out to be very useful that the Ministry provided sufficiently accurate cartographic material. We have already published the first projects, in many respects the given maps repeat the information already published. The spatial localization of the passage of the Taurida highway is always very clear and allows you to adequately imagine the future main road of Crimea. We present the most accurate map of the Tavrida route to date according to the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan, click on the images to view the full resolution.

The main settlements through which the Tavrida Highway will pass: "Kerch - Feodosia - Belogorsk - Simferopol - Bakhchisarai - Sevastopol".

Now everyone is wondering when it will be ready highway "Tavrida", which promises to bring the transport network of Crimea to a new level, and which has already been dubbed Third construction site of the century(after the Crimean bridge and the new terminal of the Simferopol airport).

The relevance of an autobahn of this level has increased dramatically since launch of the Crimean bridge mid-May 2018. Crimea has not experienced such an influx of cars, probably, in its entire history. And the unavailability of the transport infrastructure has led to a serious congestion of existing roads and large traffic jams, starting right at the exit from the bridge.

This situation is mutually disliked by both residents and guests of the peninsula, to say nothing of transport companies. But there is hope that the opening of the modern highway "Tavrida" will significantly ease the traffic congestion of the Crimean roads.

During the construction of the Tavrida highway, it has literally become overgrown with various rumors and myths, so we tried to understand the current situation and find out when the route will open.

Terms of construction and readiness of the road "Tavrida" - when is the opening?

According to the news, "Tavrida" is almost ready! More precisely, its first stage in a two-lane version along the Kerch-Simferopol route. In early September, the builders of the route of the century reported about the readiness of the first stage by 72%.

Thus already by the end of the year the two-lane part of the route will work. The second stage - a four-lane autobahn to Sevastopol is planned to be completed by 2020.

The first significant transport event took place on September 5, 2018 — opening a route fragment"Tavrida" - an interchange near the Crimean bridge is open for travel.

Scheme "Tavrida"

In general, the road of the first category "Tavrida" will become a new level of development of the transport infrastructure of the peninsula. Its length will be 250 km, and taking into account its modern infrastructure, it will be possible to get from Simferopol to Kerch and vice versa in just two hours, and the journey from the Kerch bridge to the hero city of Sevastopol will be three hours.

The official scheme of the track "Tavrida" was published last year. The route of the central autobahn of the peninsula includes major cities of Crimea, bypassing the resort areas:

• ● Kerch;
  ● Feodosia;
  ● Belogorsk;
  ● Simferopol;
  ● Bakhchisaray;
  ● Sevastopol.

A few photos and videos on the topic "Tavrida today" for a more accurate understanding of the pace and stages of construction of the Third Construction of the Century in Crimea.

It's no secret that the state of the Crimean transport system leaves much to be desired. From year to year, according to the results of surveys conducted by the Ministry of Tourism of Crimea, the first item on the list of tourists' dissatisfaction is the condition of the roads. Against the backdrop of the opening of the bridge, existing roads can not cope with the influx of cars.

We sincerely hope that the opening of the first stage of the Tavrida highway, which is expected in the next three months, will have a beneficial effect on the development of our region, the tourist satisfaction of the guests of the peninsula and will allow transport companies to carry out transportation in Crimea at an even higher level.
