Dorstroy: Moscow-Crimea highway

"Crimea" will become more spacious
From the word "meeting" gives boredom. And what if the conversation is good? She was felt after a dozen kilometers of conversation.
“We found a“quick”and economical option to increase the capacity of the Crimea route from the Moscow Ring Road to the border with the Tula Region,” said Alexander Mitusov, first deputy. Minister of Transport of the Moscow Region. - Look, there is a huge gap between oncoming lanes. On it and lay one additional strip in each direction. We save a lot of time on land allotment, you don’t need to pay for the purchase of space on the sidelines, to resettle those who are half-truths settled in the roadside sanitary zone …

It was still dark outside the windows when the meeting began on the bus. The head of Rosavtodor Anatoly Chabunin (at the head of the table, or rather, on the engine) listened to colleagues from the regions no less than he spoke.

From the time when the governments of Moscow and the region moved from counter-relations to pragmatic business, our cooperation is increasingly benefiting.
Must know everything
The benefit of the conversation is from the competence of the participants. At the meeting on wheels, the head of Rosavtodor Anatoly Chabunin called on fellow officials in charge of the dorstroy in the governments of the capital and the Moscow region. And so that the conversation did not turn into a behind-the-scenes one, he invited potential critics - the leader of the Freedom of Choice motorists movement Vyacheslav Lysakov, the candidate of the United Russia party to the State Duma deputies Nikolai Kovalev (we went to the "audit" in "his" Orel province), the chairman Public Council at the Federal Road Agency Oleg Skvortsov - perhaps the most respected specialist in the industry. As well as other functionaries. He called also the journalists: let everyone know and appreciate how and for what officials are conferring.

This is the most accident-hazardous section in the entire road network on Orlovshin. In the right part of the photo there is a waving descent. the blue arrows show where the departure of the car. To choose? Another squiggle is a little lower, and after it immediately enters the tunnel under the railroad track, it only freezes - you still need to get into it, and not “meet” with oncoming traffic. And he enters the railroad crossing also from a wagging slope … In the left part of the photo, orange-colored indicates how the underpass will be under construction.

What are we worth?
Well, for example, they said that truckers are parked on the sidelines, which is unsafe for the traffic flow and generally slows it down. Some stop because they are waiting for permission to enter the capital; others - arrivals of light vehicles that will pick up cargo from trucks; still others are waiting for the order for passing transportation to fall, so as not to return empty …

We stopped to talk with truckers. Are roadside cafes enough? With souls? Are they allowed to use the toilet? On the parking lots there is something to put the garbage in?.. All these issues are also the responsibility of the road services. Driver: Why is it still on summer tires? You allow an overload?.. Driver: “I don’t even want to monitor the weight, the main thing is for the owner to pay money.” - “So you and he will be fined.” - “And for what?” - “This is the law. There is nothing to spoil the roads - you should ride along them.” We stopped to talk with truckers. Are roadside cafes enough? With souls? Are they allowed to use the toilet?

- We will get rid of this if there is a system for managing traffic flows. We are starting to develop it,”said a representative of the Moscow region.
- Why invent it! In Moscow, there is already a methodology for creating such a system - get it upon first request.
It would seem that they live nearby, but they don’t know each other about mutually beneficial business … Recently, the exchange of information has been simplified: a coordination center has been created - the Transport Directorate of the Moscow Transport Hub, and its leader A. Levchenko was on wheels at this meeting. The interests and professional forces of the capital, region and federal road service are combined.

Break? After aerial photography
Because of the shaking of the bus, cards and schemes strove to slide off the table, the noise of the motor made us speak loudly - weary. However, the interlocutors did not get tired, each next topic is overdue.
"At gas stations on the roads need parking for heavy trucks." “But truckers have more trouble than gas owners.” - "So, for entrepreneurs with business along the highways you need to create tax incentives …"

The finest jewelry work: at the same time with three taps to put in place a multi-ton structure. The finest jewelry work: at the same time with three taps to put in place a multi-ton structure.
They remembered the “bottlenecks” in Odintsovo, on the Shchelkovo highway, but you never know … You can’t get anywhere - you will have to demolish buildings, including residential buildings, rebuild road networks …
“Do not rush to break it,” Anatoly Chabunin chilled, “carefully scout, let's even spend money on aerial photography - it's cheaper than recklessly spending taxpayer money.”
How to defeat the squad in the sanitary areas along the highways and, what is especially important, near the interchanges?.. Need to simplify the coordination of demolition of illegal buildings and felling of trees, if you can’t do without it … And, it would seem, a trifle: if we want to Europe will have to systematize garbage collection from parking areas. As a rule, they are in territories of federal jurisdiction, but would local authorities not take up the removal? …
“These are not scattered questions - they need to be considered together, and therefore, the Duma must be proposed a draft comprehensive road law,” suggested Vyacheslav Lysakov.
"No less" in a rural way - "more"
In Orel, the head of Rosavtodor somehow stayed for a long time in the office of Governor Alexander Kozlov. Informed people guessed why the conversation dragged on.
From next year, road funds, federal and regional, will be revived, of which financing of dorstroy will go. The law requires at least 5% of regional funds to be spent on laying asphalt to villages and villages, and this money is in solidarity with federal finances. Unprecedented sums have been allocated from the state budget for the next three years for road construction - trillions, but state funds will not be enough for a long time …

The governor of the Oryol region, Alexander Kozlov (pictured left), you can understand: "Finance is needed to put in order the economy of the regional center, but in the same villages you need to raise the salaries of teachers, create conditions in kindergartens …" Governor of the Oryol region Alexander Kozlov (on the left photo) you can understand: “Finances are needed to put in order the economy of the regional center, but in the same villages you need to raise teachers' salaries, create conditions in kindergartens …”
“Surely Chabunin convinces the governor to increase funding for roads in the village,” suggested our fellow travelers. - Indeed, the law says “no less than 5%”.
This is also the work of a government official. It would be approved by the inhabitants of the villages living "in prison", surrounded by impassable dirt.
And further along the scales
Anatoly Chabunin did not return to the capital that day, as others did. His inspection continued - until Kursk, somewhere further turned to Bryansk. Shortly before that, he traveled 600 kilometers through central Siberia.
“There is nothing special about this,” explained Oleg Skvortsov, chairman of the Public Council at the Federal Road Agency, “it’s normal for a road builder to be on the road, even consult on wheels.” To feel for yourself what roads really are.
The bus-office of Rosavtodor was on the road again a day later, it traveled with officials in the Tula region. Everyone felt the charms of local asphalt. Maybe aerial photography is not needed here.

Well, a road sign, nothing special … And for the inhabitants of this village, it is akin to the skyscrapers of the City district in Moscow: there has never been a road sign here, because there has never been a paved road here. They overcome five kilometers to the nearest highway in less than half an hour (with a stop in another village, in which the asphalt is also not overjoyed), and not, as before, half a day. If at all releases dirt.
