These strange words in the title are the names of grandiose objects road construction in Moscow. One way or another, you have heard them - North-East Chord, North-Western Chord and South Rokada. - just an exit from the Shchelkovskoe highway to the temporary storage warehouse towards the Entuziastov highway. Now let's look at these construction sites from the air. The first part on temporary storage was published by me in May -.
In Moscow in 2016, 104 km of roads were built, which is a record commissioning.
In total, over the past 6 years (from 2011 to 2016), 544 km of roads were built and put into operation (about 12.5% of the entire existing road network of the city), including:
- 162 artificial structures (overpasses, tunnels and bridges) and 160 off-street pedestrian crossings were built;
- 8 outbound highways (126 km) were reconstructed, full-fledged backup routes were created, as well as dedicated lanes for public transport with a total length of 150 km (this is 60% of the entire length of the existing dedicated lanes in the city - 250 km), 350 drive-in pockets were created;
- 13 largest and most complex transport interchanges were built and reconstructed at the intersection of highways with the Moscow Ring Road.
In 2017-2019 it is planned to ensure the commissioning of roads with a length of 353 km; build 61 artificial structures and 36 pedestrian crossings.
All aerial surveys were completed sturman from urbanoid.pro. On his YouTube channel you can find a lot of interesting videos.
1. The diagram shows the mileage only by chord: how much has already been done, what is in the works, and what is still being designed. 
2. Let's start with the South Rokada, where at the intersection with the Varshavskoe highway the first stage of construction is in full swing - the construction of an overpass for the Varshavskoe highway. 
3. Site diagram.

4. The second stage, as far as I understand, will be the construction of a tunnel for the South Rokada. At least there is such a scheme and rendering. 
5. We managed to fly, right before the squall. 
6. The construction of the railway tunnel will be completed, as usual, without stopping traffic. 
7. And now the famous T-junction in the air. This is the junction of the Southern understudy of Kutuzovsky Prospekt with Mosfilmovskaya Street. 
8. Monster scheme.

9. Connection of the Southern understudy of Kutuzovsky Prospekt with Mosfilmovskaya Street. 
10. A reserve has been left in the center of the road for the continuation of the southern backup to the center, along the railway. 
11. The southern understudy will go to the left and the appendix will be connected to it. 
12. But very unusual look, Certainly. 
13. And this is the interchange of the Southern understudy of Kutuzovsky Prospekt with the Southern Rokada. It is also drawn in the diagram above. 
14. The most delicious thing is the construction of a new bridge across the Moscow River on the North-Western Expressway section. 
15. Site diagram. 
.::clickable::.
16. It is being built parallel to the existing Krylatsky Bridge. 
17. The span structure of the old bridge is made in the form of a continuous steel beam with a ride on top, span formula 51.2 + 90.0 + 51.2 m. The structure is based on two box-shaped beams 2.5 m high, 2.74 m wide, covered with an orthotropic slab. The beams rest on two common V-shaped supports. The total width of the bridge is 25.4 m, including the roadway - 18.0 m (4 lanes). As far as I understand, the new bridge will be a copy of the old one according to the design. 
18. Section of the North-Western Expressway from the bridge to the Northern alternate route of Kutuzovsky Prospekt. 
19. And this is the beginning of work on the construction of a 300-meter cable-stayed bridge across lock No. 9 
20. It will connect Narodnogo Opolcheniya Street with Nizhniye Mnevniki above the gateway along an oblique line, not far from the existing small Karamyshevsky Bridge. At the same time, they plan to create pedestrian zones and an observation deck on the suspension bridge. 
21. View towards the junction of Marshal Zhukov Avenue and Narodnogo Opolcheniya Street. 
22. And already in the evening we stopped at the construction of the North-Eastern Expressway in the Festivalnaya Street area.

37. Moscow is changing before our eyes 
38. In total, over the past 6 years, 561 km of roads have been built in Moscow. This is approximately 12.5% of the entire existing road network of the city. Reconstruction of 13 transport interchanges at the intersection of major highways with the Moscow Ring Road and 8 outbound highways was carried out. The length of backup and dedicated public transport lanes was about 150 km. In 2017-2019 it is planned to ensure the commissioning of roads with a length of 353 km; build 61 artificial structures and 36 pedestrian crossings. 
39. Happy upcoming Builder's Day! 
Next news
Southern Rockada- at the final stage of construction. Now they are still driving around it, but soon it will be possible to drive straight along it, reports a correspondent for the 360 TV channel.
The readiness of the large-scale facility is 90%, the main work on the Varshavskoye Highway has been completed, and all that is missing is an adapter (as road workers call it), which will go towards Moscow.
A very complex and important object. It is quite inconvenient for passenger traffic and transport today. As for public, personal and cargo - very difficult, cramped conditions to maintain capacity
— Petr Aksenov, First Deputy Head of the Moscow Construction Department.
Drivers treat minor traffic jams with understanding: now you have to wait a little, but then you can drive without traffic jams. On the Southern Road, three lanes in each direction - west, south-east and east of the capital - will connect to bypass the Moscow Ring Road.
The continuation of the Southern Ring Road to the southern directions of the Moscow Ring Road, in particular, at the Besedinskaya interchange, at the interchange with Lipetskaya Street, the intersection with Verkhnie Polya Street, the section of the Southern Rokade through Kantemirovskaya - will lead to the highway connecting the west and south-east and east of the city, bypassing the Moscow Ring Road
— Pyotr Aksenov, first deputy head of the Moscow construction department.
Varshavskoe and Kashirskoe highways will connect, thereby relieving both their traffic flows and Proletarsky Avenue. Traffic along the southern section of the road is planned to open in September. But then the work will continue - the second stage is next, which involves replacing the railway track. According to Pyotr Aksenov, construction is planned to continue between 2018 and 2020.
In addition, large-scale reconstruction will affect the area from Kantemirovskaya Street to Kaspiyskaya, Donetskaya Street, Verkhnie Polya, and an overpass will also appear on the Moscow River on Shosseynaya Street. It is planned to reconstruct Baltiyskaya Street, which will lead to Lipetskaya and, thus, an interchange through Verkhnie Polya and Lipetskaya will appear on the Moscow Ring Road.
The cost of the first stage of laying the overpass is 5 billion rubles, the second stage is 1.7 billion rubles. Travel on the Southern Road will be free, but travel on Northeast chord will have to pay.
Southern Rockada- a highway under construction in Moscow. According to the project, after completion of construction, a route with a total length of 40 kilometers will provide a diagonal connection between the western, southern and southeastern parts of the city, relieve congestion on the Moscow Ring Road, the Third Transport Ring in the southern and southeastern sector of the city and the center of Moscow.

Project
People first started talking about creating chord highways in Moscow in the first half of the 20th century. In the 1930s, the issue of laying chords was raised by the famous planner and urban planning specialist Anatoly Yakshin; in the 1970s, the idea was developed by his students, including Alexander Strelnikov. Predicting an increase in the number of cars, the authors of the Moscow master plan of 1971 provided, in addition to the MKAD and the Garden Ring, 2 new ring roads and 4 high-speed chord highways. However, the projects of the chords remained on paper, and many of the areas where they were supposed to run were built up. In the mid-2000s, as part of the development of the Fourth Transport Ring project, two chord routes were included in the General Plan of Moscow - the Northern and Southern Rocades, which would provide communication with the Third Transport Ring, simultaneously relieving the city center.
After abandoning the construction of the Fourth Transport Ring, the project of which was estimated at 1 trillion rubles, the Moscow authorities returned to the idea of chord highways. In the spring of 2012, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin presented to President Dmitry Medvedev a project for the development of the transport infrastructure of the Moscow agglomeration, which provided for the creation of three chord directions within the Moscow Ring Road: the North-Eastern and North-Western chords and the Southern Line, forming an open ring-shaped system with exits to the Moscow Ring Road.
Sites
According to the project, the Southern Ring Road runs from the Moscow Ring Road along Rublevskoye Highway, Aminevskoye Highway, Lobachevskogo Street, Obruchev Street, Balaklavsky Avenue, then along Projected Passage No. 5159 and Kantemirovskaya Street in the direction of Kashirskoye Shosse and along Borisovskie Prudy Street to the Moscow Ring Road through Kapotnya. According to the head of the Moscow City Construction Department Andrey Bochkarev, completion of the construction of the road is planned for 2018.
MKAD - Balaklava Avenue
The first section of the Southern Road included Rublyovskoye Highway, Lobachevsky Street, Obruchev Street and Balaklavsky Avenue. Road reconstruction was carried out on the site, interchanges were built at the intersection of Rublevskoye Shosse with Academician Pavlova and Marshal Timoshenko streets and at the intersection of Lobachevsky Street with Michurinsky Prospekt. On sections of Rublevskoye Highway from Mozhaiskoye Highway to Vernadsky Avenue and from Leninsky Avenue to Chertanovskaya Street, a dedicated lane for public transport was organized, and its stops were moved to drive-in pockets. For the movement of vehicles through areas without exiting the main highway, side passages were built. Also, 7 underground and 1 overground pedestrian crossings were built and a bicycle path was installed.
Balaklava Avenue - Proletarsky Avenue
In August-September 2015, the Moscow Engineering and Construction Company received a contract to perform contract work on the second section of the Southern Rokada. The project involves the construction of a multi-level interchange at the intersection Balaklavsky Avenue and Warsaw Highway, which will include a 600-meter-long tunnel under the highway, turnaround ramps, side passages and an overpass. In May 2017, a competition was held for the construction of railway overpasses along the Paveletsky direction of the Moscow Railway, under which the main route of the Southern Rockade will pass. After the highway and railway The rokada will cross the Chertanovka River over a bridge and connect the areas they separate.
Proletarsky Avenue - MKAD
The third section of the Southern Road, following the intersection with Proletarsky Prospekt, will be formed using existing streets.

Design two sections of the Southern Rokada may begin before the end of 2017., reported the press service of the capital’s construction department, citing the head of the department, Andrei Bochkarev.
“Currently, urban planning documentation is being developed for two sections of the Southern Rokada; the design may start before the end of the year. It's about the highway from Proletarsky Prospekt to st. Donetskaya, and from st. Verkhnie Polya to MKAD“, - the words of A. Bochkarev are quoted in the message.
As stated in the press service, Southern road from Proletarsky Prospekt to st. Donetsk region is divided into four sections. On the section from Proletarsky Prospekt to st. Kaspiyskaya plans to build 2 km of roads, including an overpass with a length of 0.3 km. A section will be built from the street. Kantemirovskaya to st. Bakinskaya, which will provide exit from Proletarsky Prospekt to st. Baku without the need to go to Caucasian Boulevard. It is planned to build 1.5 km of roads. On the site from the street. Kaspiyskaya to st. Shosseynaya plans to build more than 8 km of roads, including an overpass on the approach to the bridge, with a length of 1.97 km for eight lanes, six ramp overpasses, with a total length of 1.02 km, and a bridge crossing.
“As part of the construction of the highway along the street. In Donetsk, reconstruction and construction of 3 km of road are planned. On the site from the street. Maryinsky Park to the Moscow Ring Road is planned for reconstruction and construction of 4 km of roads,” the press service noted.
A. Bochkarev added that on September 10, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin opened traffic on the new direct overpass on Varshavskoe Highway, which was built under the project for the construction of the Southern Road. “The highway connecting Balaklavsky and Proletarsky Avenues will be completed in 2018 and will provide direct communication Balaklava highway with Proletarsky Prospekt. The mayor of Moscow has set the task of building chord highways in the city at an accelerated pace,” he concluded.
The head of the Construction Department, Andrei Bochkarev, is known in narrow circles as an urban planning freak; he has been caught more than once in the confusion of streets, objects, plans, and sequences, but nevertheless, what do his words say?
1. They are going to extend the southern road from Proletarsky Prospekt along Kantemirovskaya and further to Kaspiyskaya street. Donetskaya, and from st. Verkhnie Polya to MKAD. This new route of UR to MKAD, moreover, going through the center of the Maryino district.
In light of such a decision, a new bridge should appear across the Moscow River from Kantemirovskaya to Donetskaya, duplicating the projected bridge, which will entail the massive demolition of garages in Saburovo. This bridge is included in the red lines and the General Plan of Moscow.
On the website of the Moscow City Complex, a picture was published to accompany the news about the opening of the overpass on the Warsaw Highway, which was presented to Sobyanin. Clickable to enlarge. Crossing the river here is the same bridge being designed . with an exit to Donetskaya.
It turns out that the exit along the road from Kantemirovskaya will, at best, run into the two-lane Kaspiyskaya bridge, with steep radii and under a traffic light.
In this form, we can talk about a new transport corridor, but not about Rokada, as it was stated. Rokada will reach Proletarsky, and then regional roads and connections.
Let me remind you that previously the continuation of the UR was planned in the section Katemirovskaya - st. Borisov Ponds - bridge - st. Kapotnya - MKAD. Apparently such a solution is expensive and time-consuming, but we need to show quick victories.
Extension of the UR along Kantemirovskaya will require widening the street to 6 lanes (or maybe 4 will be enough), removal of power lines, massive demolition of garages and parking lots on the even side of Moskvorechye, odd side of Tsaritsyno, will entail a deterioration in pedestrian accessibility between MS and Tsaritsyno, pedestrian crossings, I believe, will be designed lifting and in smaller quantities than exist now.
2. It is not clear what YR has to do with it, but Bochkarev also mentions the straightening of Proletarsky to Baku Street. This solution is also included in the General Plan of the city. However, it will be impossible to carry it out without relocating five-story buildings.
The announced projects have not yet been included in the Targeted Investment Program (TIP), so it is not clear when they will start.
According to my forecast, the development of these areas should be expected in 5-6 years, and not earlier. But they will seriously affect normal life in the area. If the transport component improves, then living conditions cannot be expected to improve.
We continue to watch.
UPD. The post has been revised after receiving new data.
The topic of developing the district's transport infrastructure and the concerns of residents of Maryino and surrounding areas in connection with the large-scale construction of the Southern Road were discussed on Friday at the Moskomarkhitektura.
At the end of the working week in the big hall Architectural Council Moscow, a meeting was held between deputies of the Maryino municipal district, representatives of the district government and the district prefecture with representatives of the Institute Master plan and Moscomarchitecture.
The reason for the meeting was the fears of Muscovites in connection with the construction of a new city highway, which, according to some residents of Maryino, will turn this area of the capital into a transit point for road transport. This, in turn, will lead to a worsening of the existing road situation, and will also negatively affect the ecology of the district, which, as residents note, already suffers from air emissions harmful substances from the Kuryanovskaya aeration station and the Moscow oil refinery. In addition, townspeople fear that during the construction of the Southern Road, Borovik Park and the Alley of Veterans will be destroyed.
With all their questions, concerns and misconceptions, residents of Maryino turned to municipal deputies, the government and the prefecture of the district, who, based on sometimes contradictory information, could not always give the correct answer. This is what happened with the Southern Rockade. For several months, false schemes have been spreading on social networks, causing a lot of misunderstandings and questions for local authorities.
"At the end of July in social networks We discovered the route for the Southern Rockade. According to it, the highway divided the district into two halves, passing along Pererva Street and through those objects of the environmental zone that we have in Maryino - this is the Borovik Park and the Alley of Veterans, - deputy of the Maryino municipal district Evgeniy Menshikov told the Moskovskaya Gazeta correspondent. “Later, another scheme appeared, where the Southern Rockade divided Maryino along the upper border.”
Looking ahead, we note that this information turned out to be unreliable. But on its basis, a week ago, a message appeared on Change.org, addressed to President Vladimir Putin and the leadership of the Moscow government. In the appeal, the author demands that the construction of a section of the Southern Road through the Maryino district be prohibited.
“The southern road, the section of which according to the plan should pass through the residential areas of Maryino, next to schools, clinics, in a residential, environmentally unfavorable area, is a blow to the lives and health of thousands of people,” the petition says. To date, about seven thousand people have already signed it.
Due to the tense situation with the construction of the Southern Road, deputies and residents of the area sent requests to the executive authorities to clarify the situation. Also, municipal deputies of Maryino turned to Moscow City Duma deputy Inna Svyatenko with a request to help organize a meeting with specialists from the Moscow Committee for Architecture and Designers of the Moscow General Plan Institute - directly the customer and executor of this project.
Answering the question whether the Southern Rockade will be held in the Maryino area and what its route will be, Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Architecture and Urban Planning of the City of Moscow Sergei Kostin answered unequivocally: “There is no Southern Rockade in Maryino. It doesn’t go along Maryino, but goes further south.”
To prevent the construction of new roads and road junctions from becoming overgrown with ridiculous rumors, Kostin advised operating with official documents - not just strategic ones, that is, at the level of planning and discussion, but already approved by the Moscow government.
“The main document is the master plan adopted by law. All these documents are in the public domain,” said a department representative.
Also referring to the General Plan of Moscow, Kostin assured the meeting participants that the construction of any new highways in the residential areas of the area is not planned.
Alexey Novikov, a specialist at the 5th transport workshop of the Moscow General Plan Institute, spoke about what will be done to improve the transport situation in Maryino and neighboring areas. Thus, in order to improve transport connections in the areas of Lyublino, Maryino and Brateevo, it is planned to build an overpass across the Kursk direction of the Moscow Railway, a bridge across the Moscow River at the Shosseynaya Street alignment with a transport interchange at the intersection with Kashirskoye Shosse and Kantemirovskaya Street. In addition, it is planned to reconstruct the Besedinskaya transport interchange and the interchange at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road with Verkhnie Polya Street.
“Today, transport connections between the Southern and South-Eastern administrative districts are difficult and are implemented with a significant overhaul of transport, creating an additional burden on street and road network", says Novikov.
Currently, transport leaving the Lyublino, Maryino and Brateevo districts in the direction of the center and region is carried out along Lyublinskaya Street, Volgogradsky Prospekt, 2nd Yuzhnoportovy Proezd, Borisovskie Prudy Street and Kashirskoye Shosse, which are overloaded with traffic flows. The exit towards the center through the Pechatniki district passes through oversized overpasses at the intersection with the Kursk direction of the Moscow Railway. The construction of a new overpass and the reconstruction of existing interchanges, according to Novikov, will create new and more convenient traffic routes both towards the center and around the center, reducing traffic overruns and travel time.
“Moreover, transport interchanges help, if not rid the district of traffic jams, then significantly dilute the flow of vehicles and relieve congestion on a number of streets. From the environmental side of the issue, this also seems significant,” added the head of the testing laboratory of the NGO for environmental protection, development of the green fund and landscape design Institute of General Plan Natalya Kiryushina.
As the expert notes, standing traffic causes even greater harm to the city’s ecology. The main task of the department she heads is to ensure that environmental indicators are taken into account when calculating traffic flows. Among the achievements of the General Plan Institute in the area environmental safety Kiryushina named the creation of a noise map of Moscow, which includes an address list of houses falling within the zone of exceeding noise standards. In the Maryino area, it is also planned to install soundproofing shields, which is being done exclusively for the benefit of residents, Kiryushina says.
Meanwhile, transport is the most serious source of impact on environment and the ecology of the city. In Moscow, 90% of all annual emissions come from transport emissions. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin has repeatedly stated this during meetings with residents of different districts of the capital, recognizing this fact as inevitable in the life of the metropolis.
In general, as representatives of the Moscow Committee for Architecture and the Moscow General Plan Institute noted at the end of the meeting, road transport construction in the district involves connecting the districts of Lyublino, Maryino and Brateevo, finding solutions for the reconstruction of exit nodes and ridding the districts of “road dead ends”, improving communications with both neighboring areas and the center. At the same time, as experts note, it is also necessary to take into account the fact that there is still a countable area in the city on which roads can be built, and it is difficult to radically change anything here in terms of the development of the road transport network.
