I.Metshin on the Voznesensky tract: “Such construction projects are the best example of anti-crisis measures”

Traffic on the new highway on the section from Gvardeyskaya Street to Rodina Street will launch in October.

The second stage of the construction of the Voznesensky tract has begun in Kazan. On the section from Pobedy Avenue to the M7 Volga highway with a length of 8 km, the construction of bypass roads, an underground passage and bridges has begun. At the same time, as part of the first stage, interchanges, underground passages, reconstruction of storm sewers and excavation works for the construction of the main road are being built on the section from Gvardeyskaya Street to Pobedy Avenue with a length of 4 km.

The traffic on the Voznesensky Tract is planned to launch in October – on the first section from Gvardeyskaya Street to Rodina Street. All work on the first stage is planned to be completed in 2023. This was reported to the Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin at the construction site by Igor Kulyazhev, Deputy head of the Executive Committee of the city. At the same time, it is planned to open direct traffic along Gvardeyskaya Street and Pobedy Ave., closing bypass roads. The readiness of interchanges and underground passages is 50-70%.

“All work is on schedule, even slightly ahead. Voznesensky tract is one of the most important roads in the existing transport system of Kazan. This highway will significantly relieve the road network, including the Mamadyshsky tract”, - the head of the city noted. He checked the progress of work at the intersection of Voznesensky tract and Pobedy Avenue, where construction of the second stage began.

“Now a bypass road is being prepared at the intersection with Fuchik Street and at the intersection with the M7 Volga highway, construction of an underground pedestrian crossing, bridges over the Noksa and Krutovka rivers is also underway”, - I.Kulyazhev said. As work continues on the construction of the second line of the Kazan metro, the work schedules of both projects are combined.

Along with the work on the second stage, construction is underway on the first section of the Voznesensky tract. The project provides for a road from Gvardeyskaya Street to Pobedy Avenue with a length of almost 4 km and a width of 13-17 meters, three lanes in each direction. This site is planned to be equipped with bike paths, storm drains, the width of sidewalks will be 2.2-4.5 m.

Preparations are underway to fill the upper part of the tunnel at the site at the intersection with Pobedy Ave. “On April 20, it is planned to start pouring, and by April 24, the work will be completed”, - Igor Kulyazhev said.

I.Metshin emphasized that construction industry is essential for the successful development of any city. “We continue to implement all our key programs and projects planned for this year. Such construction projects are the best example of anti-crisis measures, - the mayor noted. - Working here, people have a stable salary and confidence in the future. It is very important that tower cranes and other construction equipment continue to work in Kazan. Tatarstan is still a region attractive for investments”.

For reference, the construction of the Voznesensky tract began last summer. The construction of the highway is carried out in two stages.
