Section of the M-4 “Don” highway
In the Voronezh region, specialists have begun preparatory work for the major repair of a section of the federal highway M-4 «Don» from the 482nd to the 492nd km. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
“Today we face an ambitious task of comprehensive territorial development, the solution of which is impossible without a developed road network. In particular, we are implementing large-scale infrastructure projects to strengthen the road framework. They include not only the construction of new high-speed highways but also the modernization of existing roads. As a result, the transport accessibility of regions and their investment attractiveness increase, and travel time for freight and passenger transportation decreases. This directly affects dynamic socio-economic development and improves the quality of life for Russians. Thus, preparatory work has begun on the M-4 “Don” highway for the major overhaul of a 10-kilometer section in the Ramonsky district of Voronezh Oblast. Currently, this is one of the busiest sections in the region, with seasonal traffic intensity exceeding 80 thousand vehicles per day. Due to construction and installation works, its capacity will significantly increase, as they provide for widening the carriageway to three lanes in each direction. This is especially important for motorists when leaving Voronezh,” said Marat Khusnullin.
According to Vyacheslav Petushenko, the head of the state company “Avtodor,” the major overhaul of the M-4 “Don” highway will be carried out in stages.
“Initially, the work to improve the technical condition of the section from the 482nd to the 492nd kilometer is planned to be carried out in the direction towards Moscow, and then towards Voronezh from the 482nd to the 486th kilometer. These will be performed without traffic closures to maintain the current traffic flow intensity. At certain stages, temporary narrowing of the roadway is possible, so motorists should be more attentive and consider potential difficulties. Upon completion of the construction and installation works, the facility will meet modern loads and user requirements, the quality of the road surface of the section will improve, and its service life will be extended. As a result, road users’ trips will become more comfortable and safer. The completion of the entire scope of capital repair work is planned for November 2027,” noted Vyacheslav Petushenko.
