Track

The M1 federal highway, Minka, is the shortest route to Europe. A few hours drive from the capital, and you are already in Belarus. There is no familiar border (union state!), Only the signs say that he found himself abroad. Do not forget that in Belarus our CTP policy is not valid, and at the entrance (better at home, in advance), you must definitely buy a "green card" or local insurance. The penalty for this violation is from 600 to 1, 500 Russian rubles.
In the territory of the neighboring country, a completely modern highway to the border with Poland has been built for a long time, in Russia active work on the reconstruction of the M1 highway began several years ago. So far, the road has four lanes along its entire length (two lanes in each direction), 11-12 m wide, in some sections with a dividing strip (chipper).
In many areas, the coating leaves much to be desired, especially after winter. Most of all, the canvas is worn out from the 200th to the 350th km. And the most dangerous section is considered to be the section from Odintsovo (16th km) to the turn to Ruza (84th km). Here, the number of strips will be increased to four in each direction, between them a chipper will be installed.
There will be interchanges: a turn to Kokoshkino, a turn to Krekshino, a ramp to Krasnoznamensk, a junction with A107 concrete road. And this year, the denouement near Smolensk is being reconstructed. And of course, all over the highway in late spring - early summer will carry out ongoing repairs.
The M1 “Belarus” federal highway (part of the European highway E30) runs from Moscow to the border with Belarus (further to Minsk, Warsaw). Length - 449 km. It passes through the Moscow and Smolensk regions

In the area of Nemchinovka - Odintsova passes up to 100, 000 cars per day! At the same time, a significant part of them are trunk trucks. To relieve tension here, from the end of last year, a six-lane doubler road (18 km) has been built. In official documents, it is called a new exit to the Moscow Ring Road from the M1 "Belarus" federal highway. It will begin from the MKAD interchange with Molodogvardeiskaya Street and will join the M1 highway at the 33rd kilometer, near the Forest Town. The road is not easy: 15 bridge structures will be erected on it. Estimated speed - up to 120 km / h. The backup road is laid out on the money of the concessionaire. After the launch, scheduled for early 2013, money will be taken for travel - about a hundred from a passenger.
As the first deputy chairman of the Avtodor state-owned company Sergey Kelbakh said, this year a competition will be announced to conclude a "life cycle contract." The company that will win it will have to be responsible for the design, reconstruction, maintenance of all 450 km of the route over a long period. The winner of the competition should grab the shovel next year. Digging is under strict state control. For this, after two or three years, a dedicated road builder can safely declare a part of the route (about 200 km) paid.
