Ilsur Metshin: “We design and open new directions that are important for the transport development of Kazan”

This year is planned to design and build new road facilities in Kazan. 1 billion 300 million rubles will be allocated for this. “Thanks to the support of the Federal and republican government, we design and open new directions, implement large - scale projects that are important for the transport development of the city,”- said Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, at a meeting of the headquarters for combating the spread of coronavirus.

“We are starting to design the Voznesensky highway – it is a separate important arterial road for the city”

One of the most important facilities of road construction in 2020 will be the first stage of construction of the highway from Nesmelov street to the 32nd Military station in the Kirovsky district. Preparatory work has already begun on the site from the Nesmelov street to the Admiralteysky pond with a length of 1.5 km. As reported by Igor Kulyazhev, Deputy head of the Executive Committee, presently the utilities are being renovated at the site, as well as a purchase of land plots that are located within the borders of the road.

The design of a 6-lane highway is underway along the Voznesensky highway in the Sovetsky district on the first section from the Ametyevsk highway to Pobedy av. “In the future, the total length of the highway according to the new General Plan will be about 10 km, – said I. Kulyazhev. - There are no plans for mass resettlement here, because the space for the road has been kept for many years, there was no construction”.

“We are finally starting to design the Voznesensky highway this year. This is a separate important arterial road for the city, exit from Kazan through a saturated district, an industrial zone, through Azino-1 and Azino-2 to M-7 highway. I hope, in the nearest future we will start implementing this crucial project for our city, for our transport system”, -  Ilsur Metshin commented.

“We have stopped only patching up roads and solving issues after each winter season”

Construction of the long-awaited bridge over the Noksa river has begun on the border of the Privolzhsky and Sovetsky districts, which is the only entrance to the village of Privolny. To date, the rerouting of utilities is underway.

In the Aviastroitelny district, reconstruction of the section on Maksimov street has begun from Petr Viter street to Dementyev street. Now a large number of utilities within the borders of the road are being reconstructed there, the Deputy head of the Executive Committee reported. In connection to the road works, it is planned to relocate the monument located at the entrance to the district to another location in the near future. The place for it is determined near the aircraft plant.

“The works on traffic reorganization with the renovation and construction of new adaptive traffic lights for ‘the green wave’ option are underway in the central part of the city for improving the transport situation and avoiding traffic jams at rush hours on the Universiade Av., Tikhomirnov str., Profsouznaya and Tashayak streets , – said I. Kulyazhev. – By the end of the year, it is planned to reconfigure the intersections of Butlerov and Tikhomirnov, Bauman and Pravo-Bulachnaya streets”.

In total, 7.5 billion rubles were allocated for the road works this year, of which 1 billion 300 million was allocated for the design, construction and reconstruction of new facilities. “Even six years ago, before the Universiade, we only dreamed of such figures. 7.5 billion rubles is a huge amount – Ilsur Metshin said. -  Thanks to the Federal government and the leadership of our republic. Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov traditionally pays great attention to this issue. Thanks to this, we have stopped only patching up roads and solving issues after each winter season”.
