I can confirm it myself: a few years ago, transport infrastructure was assessed as "catastrophic." And the entrances to the city and the center were always in traffic jams. And it was almost impossible to imagine how to conduct the Olympic Games in such conditions. Now the city is still standing - it is said that giant construction projects have unfolded at different ends - but suddenly the prospect has become visible, it became clear that in a year or two everything will change here.

And from end to end the long Sochi, stretched between the mountains and the sea, you can rush! I was personally convinced of this when I drove the other day on Olympic road facilities. Sochi, far from being the largest Russian city, there is simply not enough roads for normal development, 16 thousand cars a day - this is too much for most local roads.
Hours of congestion for the city are not uncommon

70 percent of them operate in congestion mode, and some of the city's highways simply stop during peak hours. But by the end of 2013, 40 km of new routes should appear there. Transport infrastructure is being built on schedule, Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation Igor Levitin said at a meeting of the public council for the preparation of the 2014 Olympic Games.
Tunnel construction at an accelerated pace

According to Levitin, a total of 46 transport infrastructure facilities are under construction in Sochi. In addition, Sochi has its own specifics - numerous bottlenecks at the intersection of federal and local roads. The problem is solved by the construction of 5 transport interchanges (“Adler Ring”. “Blue Dali”, “Stadium”, “Vinogradnaya-Donskaya”, “Airport”). The grandeur of these structures can be judged by this example: the four-lane interchange "Stadium" includes 5 flyovers, 2 bridges, 21 towers.
It should be understood that the city stands on fairly weak soils, and for such structures piles have to be driven to a depth of 20 meters! The bypass road built in 2009 and the new understudy of Kurortny Prospekt are called upon to solve the main transport problem of the city. “We have completed the first stage of the backup by about 80% and plan to launch it by the beginning of next year in order to relieve the city center,” Minister Levitin explained.

At the same time, the understudy does not dare to name the usual expensive language. Of the 17 km of motorway, the classic road accounts for only 2 km. The rest - 9 tunnels, 11 overpasses, 8 traffic intersections … New roads and traffic intersections will allow to separate traffic flows, connect the federal highway and city streets, provide access to sports facilities, the airport.
Most of the new expressways in Schoi pass on the second level. Thus, builders circumvented the problem with historical buildings

Thus, builders circumvented the problem of historical development. Most of the new express roads in Sochi pass on the upper tier. Thus, builders circumvented the problem with historical buildings, but not all old-timers are satisfied with this solution.
