Part of the Moscow -Petersburg highway will be paid

In 2010, a paid highway from Moscow to St. Petersburg will be commissioned. According to Echo of Petersburg, the fee from drivers will be charged only for a section of the road from the Northern capital to the city of Khimki near Moscow. Machine owners will be able to drive through the territory of Moscow and the suburbs for free.

The Moscow-Petersburg highway will become an understudy of the Federal Road of the M-10 Russia to unload the most tense sections. The flow rate on the highway will be 150 kilometers per hour. The number of lanes of the road will vary from 6 to 10. The board will be 1 ruble per kilometer.

This year, the first paid roads will begin to build in the suburbs. According to the Minister of Transport of the Government of the Moscow Region Peter Katskov, in the coming years several paid routes of federal significance will be built in the region. "The largest of them is the Moscow -St. Petersburg highway, the length of which will be about 650 kilometers. It is also planned to create a new departure from the Moscow ring road to the Moscow -Minsk federal highway, which will significantly unload the Minsk direction," the minister said.

In addition, as part of the reconstruction of the M -4 Don highway, paid roads will appear in the MKAD -Kashira sections and from the Moscow Ring Road to Domodedovo Airport. These will be projects of public-private partnership, and the customer will be the federal state institution "Roads of Russia".
