Construction of the overpass over the second railway tracks continues in the north of the capital Moscow Central Diameter (MCD-2), which will connect 8 Marta and Priorova streets. The readiness of the retaining walls is 70 percent. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Planning Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.
“The construction of separate transport structures across railways is one of the priority areas of road and bridge construction for the coming years. This allows the creation of extended transport connections that significantly reduce vehicle mileage by improving the connectivity of territories previously divided by tracks. In the Koptevo area, we continue to implement such a project — building a flyover over MCD-2 on the section of Priorova Street extension. Currently, specialists are carrying out a complex of works on road pavement installation and engineering communications laying. Retaining walls of the structure are being installed on both sides of the tracks. On the Priorova Street side, work is 80 percent complete, and on the 8 Marta Street side, 70 percent. The overall project readiness is about 20 percent. We plan to complete the main construction and installation works in 2028,” said Vladimir Efimov.
As part of the project, about 3.5 kilometers of roads will be built and reconstructed. They will connect the districts of Koptево, Aeroport, and Savelovsky in the northern part of the capital. In the future, the overpass will become part of the under-construction duplicate of Leningrad Highway — a route that will link the Third Ring Road with the Northwestern Chord, bypassing the main highway.
“In addition to the artificial structure and the adjacent road network, the project also includes the construction of an underground pedestrian crossing over the MCD-2 tracks at the alignment of Akademika Ilyushina Street. It will provide the nearby neighborhoods with comfortable and unobstructed access to Timiryazevsky Park,” added the head of the Moscow Department of Construction of Transport and Engineering Infrastructure.
High construction quality is ensured by the specialists of “Kontrol Moskvy”. As noted by the chairman of Mosgosstroynadzor Anton Slobodchikov, since October 2025, inspectors have conducted four on-site inspections. They assessed compliance of the completed work with the approved project.
Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin announced that construction had begun roads between the Kryukovo and Silino districts.
Moscow is one of the leaders among regions in terms of construction volumes. The erection of road and transport infrastructure facilities in the capital aligns with the goals and initiatives of the national project “Infrastructure for Life”.
