The Tavrida federal highway between Kerch and Sevastopol is 30% ready. This was reported by the State Road Committee of Crimea. According to representatives of local authorities, work is proceeding at an accelerated pace. It is expected that the first stage of construction will be completed by the end of 2018, and the full opening of the highway will take place in 2020. The road will run from the Crimean Bridge, traffic on which will begin in May. How the opening of Tavrida will affect tourist flows and the economy of the peninsula - in the RT material.

The Tavrida federal highway passing through Crimea is 30% ready. This was announced by the Chairman of the State Road Committee of the Republic, Sergei Karpov. He noted that construction of the road began on May 12, 2017 - that’s when the memorial stone was laid.

“A year later, we can sum up the first results: the Tavrida highway is 30% built along its entire length, which is more than 250 km,” RIA Novosti quotes Karpov.

The department noted that the first stage of construction should be completed by the end of 2018. By that time, two lanes will be ready. The second stage (four lanes) will be completed at the end of 2020. Karpov emphasized that work is being carried out around the clock and in accordance with the schedule. Over a thousand pieces of equipment and more than three thousand workers are involved in construction.

“This is a huge construction project. Almost all the way to Kerch, equipment is working, people are working, and the Tavrida highway is being built at an accelerated pace. Of course, this is a very important route for us, especially since the bridge is almost ready,” said Yuri Gempel, a member of the Crimean State Council Committee on Construction and Housing and Communal Services, in an interview with RT.

The Tavrida highway will connect Kerch with Simferopol and Sevastopol. As previously reported by the Russian Ministry of Transport, already in May 2018, a road approach will be opened from the Crimean Bridge, which will connect the peninsula with Kuban, to the junction with the Crimean road. Car traffic on the bridge itself should open.

Already now, guests of Crimea can evaluate the results of the construction of the route, Alexey Chernyak, head of the Crimean parliament’s committee on sanatorium-resort complex and tourism, noted in a conversation with RT.

“This is very important for Crimea. Although de jure we are a peninsula, de facto we are an island, and without a bridge and this highway it will be almost impossible for Crimea to develop. The ferry service, which delivers not only our tourists, but also all cargo, food, and building materials, depends on the weather and the operation of the ferry crossing. It is no longer possible to expand it,” the deputy said.

According to him, the construction of the highway and bridge will reduce the cost of goods, including food, and, therefore, reduce the costs of Russians on vacation in Crimea, as well as simplify logistics for guests of the peninsula.

“Tourists will not have to adjust to the ferry. People will be able to travel by bus, personal transport, and bicycles. The traffic flow across the bridge and the highway is planned to be enormous. There will be a speed limit, four-lane traffic. It will be possible to travel from Kerch to Sevastopol in literally two and a half hours,” said the parliamentarian.

• Information center "Crimean Bridge"

He noted that the new infrastructure will allow Crimea to receive 8-10 million tourists, noting that this will happen “not in just some decades, but in the next five years.”

Acceleration of tourist flow

The Tavrida highway will run along the route Kerch - Feodosia - Belogorsk - Simferopol - Bakhchisaray - Sevastopol. At the same time, the route will bypass large cities, which will reduce travel time.

It is expected that it will be possible to get from Kerch to Simferopol in about two hours, and to Sevastopol in less than three. The length of the highway will be 250.75 km. Motorists will be able to drive along it at speeds of up to 120 km/h.

According to calculations by the State Road Committee of Crimea, the total cost of construction of the route will be 163 billion rubles.

Before the start of work, the authorities emphasized that the project would not harm the ecology of the peninsula.

“There will be no threat to the environment, natural values, or protected lands. This is a priority task. We won’t just shred the Crimean land,” noted the head of the Republic of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov.

The Crimean authorities also promised to create additional roadside infrastructure for motorists during the construction of the route. Minister of Resorts and Tourism of Crimea Vadim Volchenko told RIA Novosti that an influx of tourists is expected on the peninsula due to the opening of the automobile part of the bridge.

“The road is under construction, it will be open in parts, in some places we will organize detours, we will open small agricultural markets with the obligatory observance of all sanitary conditions, so that a tourist bus or a car with a family can stop, buy fruit, and visit the bathroom. We understand where we usually have more difficult traffic, and in these places we will try to offer alternative travel,” he emphasized.

The latest information about the largest transport project in Crimea - construction, was presented by the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Crimea and the Highway Service of the Republic of Crimea. Many data confirm what has already been presented. So, what did the Ministry please all those who follow the news of the design and construction of the Crimean highway?

The exact length of the road will be 253.5 km, excluding approaches to the Kerch Bridge and the territory of Sevastopol. Like us, Tavrida will pass through the territory of 6 municipalities: Leninsky district, Feodosiysky district, Kirovsky district, city district. Sudak, Belogorsky district, city. Simferopol, Simferopol district, city district Bakhchisaray, Bakhchisaray district.

Six stages of road construction work are reported

Stage 1. km 0 – km 76(beginning of the section in a new direction in the area of ​​the village of Primorsky)

Stage 2. km 76(beginning of a section in a new direction in the area of ​​the village of Primorsky) - km 126(exit to the Belogorsk – Lgovskoye road in the area of ​​the village of Lgovskoye)

Stage 3. km 126(exit to the road Belogorsk - Lgovskoye in the area of ​​the village of Lgovskoye) – km 161(exit to the highway Simferopol - Feodosia near Belogorsk)

Stage 4. km 161(exit to the highway Simferopol - Feodosia in the area of ​​​​Belogorsk) - km 190

Stage 5. km 190 — km 224(exit to the highway Simferopol - Bakhchisaray - Sevastopol in the area of ​​​​the village of Levadki)

Stage 6. km 224(exit to the highway Simferopol - Bakhchisaray - Sevastopol near the village of Levadki) - km 253+500 (border of the Bakhchisarai region).

All parameters, data and figures are summarized in a general table, which we present to your attention.

It turned out to be very useful that the Ministry provided fairly accurate cartographic material. We have already published the first projects, in many ways the maps provided repeat the already published information. The spatial localization of the passage of the Tavrida highway is always very clear and allows us to fairly adequately imagine the future main road of Crimea. We present the most accurate map of the Tavrida highway to date according to the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan, click on the images to view full resolution.

Distribution of traffic intensity on the Tavrida highway by stages (clickable)

All these maps are quite schematic due to their scale, but even such diagrams will allow you to fully imagine the volumes and features of the future project. We will return to the information provided by the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Crimea and examine various structures along the Tavrida highway.

After the return of Crimea to Russia, the development of the peninsula began with renewed vigor. The road that will connect Kerch - Simferopol - Sevastopol will allow guests of the republic to travel comfortably along the entire coast.

History of the Tavrida route

The construction of the Crimean Bridge changed the distribution of traffic flows on the peninsula. There was a need to connect the opposite coast of Crimea with the city of Kerch. This is how the Tavrida road project came about
In 2016, the preliminary cost of the work carried out was calculated. The amount indicated was 139 billion rubles.

In the same year, the route points were finally fixed and the main characteristics of the future road were developed. The route will be built in parts. In some areas existing roads will be used, in others a new route will be built. The old road surface, which is part of Tavrida, will be reconstructed to meet the requirements.

Route of the highway through cities and junctions

The road will pass through the following cities:

1. Kerch
2. Feodosia
3. Belogorsk
4. Simferopol
5. Bakhchisarai
6. Sevastopol

The length of the route is 250 kilometers. Thanks to modern infrastructure, the journey from Kerch to Simferopol will take no more than 2 hours. If you need to get to Sevastopol, the driver will spend no more than 3 hours on the road.
It is planned to create 6 launch sites. At the same time, the work on creating interchanges is divided into stages:

• At the first stage, the length of the route will be 70.8 km. The route begins in the area of ​​the Crimean Bridge interchange. The stage ends in the village of Primorsky.
• Second phase. The road section will be 50 kilometers long and will end at the next junction. Here the road to Belogorsk-Lgovskoye leaves and reaches the village of Lgovskoye.
• At the third stage The path length is 35.6 km. From the village to the road leading to Simferopol and Feodosia. This is the Belogorsk district.
• Stage 4. The duration of the journey is 27.5 km. From the road to Simferopol to the road leading to Bakhchisarai and Sevastopol.
• Stage 5. 24.7 km. The route bypasses Simferopol and continues to move towards Sevastopol.
• Stage 6. 28.9 km. The end of the journey is in Sevastopol.

In total, it is planned to create 17 interchanges for transport along the route. At the same time, 90 bridges and overpasses will be built.

Road characteristics

How will the Tavrida highway be located on the map of Crimea? During planning, calculations were made of the strength of the road surface, which was expressed in the load on the road. The figure was taken from 21 to 39 thousand cars in 24 hours.

What are the characteristics of the new road connecting Kerch and Sevastopol:

1. As a covering asphalt concrete is used;
2. The road under construction belongs to category IB;
3. The permissible speed on the highway is 120 km/h;
4. 4 lanes will be laid for vehicle traffic. 2 lanes will lead towards Sevastopol, the other 2 lanes towards Kerch. In this case, the flows are planned to be divided;
5. On the Tavrida highway there is no provision for creating a single-level intersection with other roads.
6. Will be built bridges, overpasses;
7. The designers made the route does not pass through populated areas, trying to avoid them as much as possible;
8. For the convenience of pedestrians Overpasses will be built.

Construction progress of the Tavrida road

The creation of the route began immediately after the approval of the plan and estimate. Construction is ongoing around the clock. Road workers do not have days off, so the road moves quickly. All work planned by estimate is completed on time, without delays or stops.

The project is divided into 7 stages. 6 stages of construction will take place on the territory of the Crimean Peninsula. The last and final stage will take place in Sevastopol. The route is supposed to have 4 lanes. The first two lanes are expected to open in December 2018. This will be the completion of phases 1 to 4. The remaining 4 lanes will be opened by the 12th month of 2020.

The first stage of construction is actively underway. A section of the road, 70.8 km long, is being prepared: embankments are being made for the main passage. Passing engineering communications are being redone. Lightly corrugated water pipes are being laid. The road base is laid, consisting of geotextiles and crushed stone. Interchange bridges and tunnel overpasses are also being built.

As of January 2018, asphalt was laid on a section of 24 km. And a piece of two-way traffic was created.

Work is also underway at the second stage, where a section of the road remains 50 m. Here they have already managed to asphalt 13.5 km of the road, also 2 lanes. Currently, excavation work is being carried out, utility lines are being changed and altered, overpasses and interchange bridges are being built.

At the third site, they are working on installing a storm drain. The roadbed is being prepared, rainwater drainage is being installed, and crushed stone is being poured. 10 km out of 25.6 km are covered with asphalt.

Fifth stage. The general contractor creates the infrastructure along the road. The route is also being improved by installing lighting. Both single-horn and 2-horn ones are installed.

In April 2018, road workers reported that 88 kilometers were covered with asphalt without asphalt concrete. The project's readiness is estimated at 29 percent.

As of the 7th month of 2018, 97.7 kilometers are covered with asphalt. At this point, the first stage ends and the second stage of construction begins, where they can report on the 39.4 kilometers of the route that are under asphalt.

As of September 2018, builders say the route is only 38% ready. If we consider by sections, then the section where the road comes to Simferopol. This road will open to traffic at the end of 2018.

When will the Tavrida highway in Crimea open?

The final launch of the route is planned for the end of 2020. But during the entire construction period, separate areas will be opened for the promotion of cars. The opening is divided into two stages:

1. At the end of this year (2018) should launch double-lane traffic. In total there will be 4 lanes on the highway;
2. The second section leading from the mountain with called "Sugar Loaf" to the road connecting Sevastopol and Yalta. No final decision has been made on this section of the route, since even the design documentation is not ready.

Where there are no settlements, the road will increase to 4 lanes. The maximum permissible speed will be 120 km/h. Inside populated areas, the Tavrida highway will merge into existing roads.

Construction cost

Preliminary calculations showed the need to provide 139 billion rubles. 14.36 billion were allocated from the budget of the Russian Federation to continue the creation of the Tavrida highway.

Findings during the construction of the route

The Crimean Peninsula is a place where every centimeter of land contains various artifacts. What names were found during the construction of the bridge:

• At the very beginning of the project, excavations were made things belonging to the Bosporan kingdom. This happened on the Tiriktan shaft. There is some debate about what this massive structure is.
  Along with other finds, shaft fastening systems were discovered. The artifacts date back to the 4th–3rd century BC;
• Was first warehouse discovered;
• On the southeastern part of the city Kerch mound discovered.

Gradually we moved from ancient artifacts to events of our time. For example, a stone bridge built by Catherine II. This is both a bridge and excavation of part of the road.
A karst cave was discovered in the Belogorsk region.

Construction of the Tavrida highway is going according to schedule. Road workers organized work both on the road approach to the Crimean Bridge and on the Tavrida highway around the clock, seven days a week.

The Tavrida highway will connect Kerch, where the bridge across the strait was built, with Simferopol and Sevastopol. The total length of the route is 250.7 kilometers, capacity is up to 40,000 cars per day. The general contractor is JSC VAD. The total cost of construction of Tavrida is set at 149.3 billion rubles.

Construction is divided into 7 stages, six of which are located on the territory of the Republic of Crimea, and the seventh in Sevastopol. The project is being implemented simultaneously in all seven stages and is divided into two stages: in a two-lane design from Kerch to Simferopol (first - fourth stages - 190 km), traffic on the highway is planned to be launched at the end of 2018; Four-lane traffic along the entire highway to Sevastopol will open at the end of 2020.

At the first stageof the 70.8 km long highway under construction, work is currently underway to construct an embankment for the main passage, reconstruct engineering communications, install metal-corrugated culverts, install a layer of geotextiles and a crushed stone base for the road pavement.

Work on the installation of bridges and tunnel overpasses has been actively launched. 24 km of the two-lane highway have been paved. The overall stage readiness is 36%.

At the second stage of the Tavrida route with a total length of 50 km, 13.5 km are paved in a two-lane design. Currently, excavation work, reconstruction of utility lines, and construction of bridges and overpasses are underway at the site. The overall readiness of the stage is 27%.

At the third stage of the route with a length of 35.6 km, work is underway on the installation of storm drainage, roadbed and crushed stone foundation, as well as, as in the previous two stages, the laying of utilities, the construction of bridges and overpasses. At the same time, 10 km were paved in a two-lane design. The overall readiness of this site is 35%.

General readiness of the fourth stage of "Tavrida"(length 27.5 km) - 10%. The same types of work are carried out here as in the third stage. 5.3 km of two-lane paved road.

At the fifth stage highways, the general contractor for the construction of the Simferopol bypass on the Dubki-Levadki section - the Sibavtoban group of companies continues to improve the future highway along the main route. The installation of metal lighting supports for single-arm and double-arm lamp brackets has begun. In total, it is planned to install more than 300 supports for 555 lamps along the route. At the moment, the general contractor has installed more than 50 support pillars.

On the Simferopol-Chistenkoe–Trudolyubovo-Nikolaevka highway, road workers have begun forming road approaches to the bridge: filling and strengthening the cones, compacting the subgrade and forming the main road pavement are being carried out. Previously, 12 reinforced concrete overpass beams were installed, each weighing 55 tons and 33 meters long. The length of the two-lane bridge is 73 m (including approaches). The height above the level of the main passage of the Dubki – Levadki highway is 5 meters.

Road workers continue to develop the excavation and embankment of the future highway. The total volume of earthworks performed is about 2.8 million m³. Along the main course of the highway under construction, a subgrade is being formed, a water conduit and a cattle passage are being installed.

At the sixth stage of the route in the area of ​​the Sevastopol transport interchangeSibavtoban is drilling for the installation of bored pillars for the future overpass: 70% of the total volume has been completed. The excavation for the construction of the interchange overpass continues. On the temporary road, the general contractor is cleaning the route and de-icing it. The transport interchange will be completed in July 2018.

The construction of the Simferopol bypass on the Dubki-Levadki section has been underway since the end of 2016; road workers began the active phase of work in the spring of 2017. The facility will be commissioned at the end of August this year.

At the beginning of December 2017, the official opening of work on the construction and reconstruction of the Kerch – Feodosia – Belogorsk – Simferopol – Bakhchisarai – Sevastopol highway, km 253+500 – km 269+300, Sevastopol took place. The new road isseventh stage of constructionand reconstruction of the Tavrida highway.

The new section of the Tavrida highway will pass through the territory of Sevastopol: from km 40+578 of the existing highway N-06 Simferopol - Bakhchisaray - Sevastopol to km 16+320 of the highway R-27 Sevastopol - Inkerman past the villages of Verkhnesadovoe, Pirogovka and Frontovoye.

Currently, as part of the project, the clearing of the right-of-way from forests and shrubs, the construction of a subgrade, the installation of culverts, the construction of temporary warehouses and modular buildings are being carried out. Road construction work is preceded by inspection and clearance of the area from explosive objects, as well as archaeological research. In 2018, the general contractor plans to completely clear the right-of-way of the seventh section of the route from green spaces, complete archaeological work, fill the roadbed and begin construction of bridge structures. Construction of the facility is scheduled to be completed in 2020.

In total, more than 800 pieces of equipment and more than two thousand people from among workers and engineering personnel are currently involved in seven stages. Work traffic on the road approaches to the bridge across the Kerch Strait is planned to open in April 2018 and complete work in full in December.

Construction of the eighth section of Tavrida(projected), which will begin in 2019, provides for the reconstruction of the “presidential” road and the construction of a two-level interchange on the Yalta ring. After completion of the technical and price audit (sent to Glavgosexpertiza), design and estimate documentation for the facility will be developed. The total length of the eighth section of the route will be 6.5 km.

Automobile approach to the Crimean Bridge from Kerchwith a length of 8.6 km is in a high degree of readiness: 7 kilometers of asphalt concrete in a four-lane design have been laid during the main course. All work on the construction of the auto approach is carried out in strict accordance with the approved schedule.

7 kilometers of four-lane asphalt concrete were laid on the approaches out of 8.6 kilometers provided for by the project. The construction of the roadbed embankment for the auto-access road has already been completed by more than 93%. The top layer of the base is 84% ​​complete, the bottom layer of the coating is 80%. The installation of culverts at the site is fully completed, and 2/3 of the rainwater drainage system is completed.

The auto approach to the Crimean Bridge from Kerch includes one traffic intersection and three overpasses, one of which is a tunnel type:

At the traffic intersection, the construction of the roadbed and crushed stone base is almost completed - their readiness exceeds 90%. The top layer of the base made of asphalt concrete mixture is already 96% complete. In addition, work on the installation of culverts has been completed;

The overpass, located at the intersection of the auto approach with the Heroes of Stalingrad Highway, is 56% ready, the construction of the embankment of the roadbed has been completed at more than 90%, the water supply, sewerage and power supply lines have also been rebuilt by more than 90%, and the builders have completed more than half all work on the installation of external lighting, and also completely re-arranged the communication networks;

Now everyone is wondering when it will be ready highway "Tavrida", which promises to take Crimea’s transport network to a new level, and which has already been dubbed Third construction project of the century(after the Crimean Bridge and the new terminal of the Simferopol airport).

The relevance of an autobahn of this level has increased sharply since launch of the Crimean bridge in mid-May 2018. Crimea has probably never experienced such an influx of cars in its entire history. And the unpreparedness of the transport infrastructure has led to serious congestion on existing roads and large traffic jams that begin right when leaving the bridge.

This situation is mutually disliked by both residents and guests of the peninsula, not to mention transport companies. But there is hope that the opening of the modern Tavrida highway will significantly ease traffic congestion on Crimean roads.

While the construction of the Tavrida highway is underway, it has literally become overgrown with various rumors and myths, so we tried to understand the current situation and find out when the highway will open.

Construction time and readiness of the Tavrida road - when will it open?

According to the news, “Tavrida” is almost ready! More precisely, its first phase in a two-lane design on the route Kerch - Simferopol. In early September, the builders of the century route reported about the readiness of the first stage at 72%.

Thus, already by the end of the year The two-lane part of the highway will be operational. The second stage - a four-lane highway to Sevastopol is planned to be completed by 2020.

The first significant transport event took place on September 5, 2018 - opening a fragment of a route"Tavrida" - the interchange near the Crimean Bridge is open for travel.

Scheme "Tavrida"

In general, the first category road “Tavrida” will become a new level of development of the peninsula’s transport infrastructure. Its length will be 250 km, and taking into account its modern infrastructure, it will be possible to get from Simferopol to Kerch and vice versa in just two hours, and the journey from the Kerch Bridge to the hero city of Sevastopol will be three hours.

Official layout of the Tavrida highway was made public last year. The route of the peninsula's central highway includes major cities of Crimea, bypassing resort areas:

• ● Kerch;
  ● Feodosia;
  ● Belogorsk;
  ● Simferopol;
  ● Bakhchisaray;
  ● Sevastopol.

A few photos and videos on the topic “Tavrida today” for a more accurate understanding of the pace and stages of construction of the Third Construction of the Century in Crimea.

It's no secret that the state of the Crimean transport system leaves much to be desired. From year to year, according to the results of surveys conducted by the Crimean Ministry of Tourism, the first item on the list of tourists’ dissatisfaction is the condition of the roads. As the bridge opens, existing roads cannot cope with the influx of cars.

We sincerely hope that the opening of the first stage of the Tavrida highway, which is expected in the next three months, will have a beneficial effect on the development of our region, the tourist satisfaction of guests of the peninsula and will allow transport companies to carry out transportation throughout Crimea at an even higher level.
