Where and how the Sevastopol section of the Tavrida highway will pass. “Grand construction”: how the Tavrida highway will change the lives of Crimeans and tourists Tavrida highway project

Official information from the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation. In connection with the plans of the builders of the Crimean Bridge to put the road part of the Crimean Bridge into operation significantly ahead of schedule, in May 2018, the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation is considering a phased scheme for organizing traffic along the new route across the Kerch Strait.

Joint Stock Company "VAD" began construction of a highway and road access in Kerch to the transport crossing across the Kerch Strait on February 22, 2017. A year later, the overall readiness of the automated approach is 77%.

Last year, Sergei Valerievich Aksenov, the head of the Republic of Crimea, and Roman Vladimirovich Starovoyt, the head of Rosavtodor, laid a stone that marked the start of construction work on the Crimean part of the road approaches to the bridge across the Kerch Strait.

Kerchan resident Konstantin Khodakovsky continues to film the grandiose construction taking place in the city using a controlled drone.

Russian Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov inspected the progress of projects connecting Kuban and Crimea into a single road network via the Crimean Bridge. The route of the head of the Ministry of Transport practically corresponded to the one by which in 2018 it will be possible to travel by car from Anapa to Simferopol.

Employees of the VAD company, which is building the Tavrida highway, presented at the multimedia exhibition “Russia, looking to the future” the advanced technologies used to build the Crimean road. According to experts, the most modern technologies are used both for the manufacture of the highway surface itself and for equipping road equipment. Kryminform correspondents visited one of the Tavrida sections to see how the new highway is actually being built in Crimea.

Simferopol, November 16. Kryminform. Builders laid the top layers of asphalt on 18 km of the Tavrida highway in the section from Kerch to Belogorsk. Kryminform was informed about this today by the VAD company, which is the contractor for the construction of the route.

The opening of road traffic in working mode and the start of temporary operation of auto approaches to the Crimean Bridge from Kerch should occur before May 30, 2018. This is stated in the addition to the order of the Government of the Russian Federation dated October 5, 2017 No. 2164-r, Kryminform reports.

The Tavrida builders erected two lanes of the road and marked them. The strip of the future highway beyond the Solnechny microdistrict is expanding. One after another, the supports of the overpass are growing. The construction site is monitored by solar-powered cameras. Kerch men went to work for VAD and in the family circle proudly announce the size of their salaries. Every day brings the moment of commissioning of the bridge across the Kerch Strait closer. Life is in full swing. Not far from the territory where a highway interchange is being built, along which tourists will

The quiet and measured life of a semi-resort town in the very east of the Crimean peninsula has changed a lot after the start of a grandiose construction project. The Kerch Bridge, even at the development stage, became a legendary project. Kerchan residents watch this construction project from different points of the city with surprise and pleasure, listening at night to the booming sounds of pile driving and the rhythmic squeak of construction equipment.

As part of the creation of green zones along the Tavrida federal highway under construction in Crimea, it is planned to plant more than 322 thousand trees. This was stated by First Deputy Minister of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan Sergei Semenov during the IV Crimean Transport Forum, which opened in Alushta.

The Novosibirsk construction company Sibavtoban laid two lower layers of asphalt on a kilometer-long section of the Dubki-Levadki highway under construction, which will become part of the Simferopol bypass. The general director of Sibavtoban, Andrei Morotsky, told reporters about this today.

Dump trucks, excavators and other heavy equipment are working non-stop at Verkhny Solnechny. The workers clearly demarcated the territory where the main stage of construction will take place. There is also a machine for driving piles on site, which will soon be used for its intended purpose.

May 12, 2017 - laid a memorial stone, symbolizing the beginning of construction of the Tavrida highway.

In his welcoming speech to the ceremony participants, Maxim Sokolov emphasized that the start of construction of Tavrida in Crimea is a landmark event for the entire transport infrastructure of Russia. “The timing of the construction of the route will be associated with the pace of construction of the transport crossing across the Kerch Strait, and next year the first stage of construction of this road to Simferopol will be put into operation. Two new lanes will ensure all traffic flows,” he emphasized.

Construction and reconstruction work will begin in the summer of 2017 simultaneously along almost the entire length of the route.

The Head of the Republic Sergei Aksenov congratulated all Crimeans on the start of construction of the route and noted that Tavrida is being built under the constant control of federal and republican authorities.

“Contractors have the necessary set of specialists and equipment to complete the task on time,” he emphasized.

In turn, the head of Rosavtodor Roman Starovoyt noted that the latest technologies and highly qualified specialists will be used in the construction of the route: “I am confident that Tavrida will meet advanced world standards in road construction.”

Minister of Transport of Crimea Anatoly Volkov reported on the progress of preparatory work, noting that all work is being carried out according to schedule.

“To date, anti-explosion work has been 100% completed, archaeological research is underway, the vegetation layer is being removed and the roadbed and communications are being installed,” said the head of the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Estimated date of road opening (completion of construction):

In December 2018, it is planned to complete the construction of two lanes of the Tavrida highway and open traffic. Completion of the entire complex of construction work is scheduled for December 2020.

Launch areas:

A memorial stone was laid in Crimea, symbolizing the beginning of the construction of the Tavrida highway. Construction and reconstruction work will begin in the summer of 2017 simultaneously along almost the entire length of the route, the press service of Rosavtodor told Gazeta.Ru.

As stated by the Minister of Transport of Russia, the timing of the construction of the route will be associated with the pace of construction of the transport crossing across the Kerch Strait and next year the first stage of construction of this road to Simferopol will be put into operation. In December 2018, it is planned to complete the construction of two lanes and open traffic.

Completion of the entire complex of construction work is scheduled for December 2020.

According to Maxim Sokolov, the construction of the Tavrida highway will not exceed 140 billion rubles in 2016 prices.

Let us recall that in 2016, the head of Crimea Sergei Aksenov said that the cost of the four-lane Tavrida highway across the entire peninsula would be about 85 billion rubles. In subsequent statements by Aksenov, the cost of the route increased by 43 billion rubles - to 128 billion. And in the summer of 2016, the Deputy Prime Minister of Crimea already announced 139 billion needed for Tavrida. Later, these figures were confirmed by the head of Crimea himself.

Most of the required amount, about 100 billion rubles, will be allocated. Earlier, when assessing the amount allocated to Crimea, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev called it more than significant.

“We have found the necessary funding for the construction of the road in full,” Medvedev said. — The amount of more than 100 billion rubles is such that it requires the most careful attention. The maximum price of the road and already determined parameters are not subject to adjustment.”

Emphasizing the significance of the allocated amount, Medvedev demanded that the Crimean leadership personally monitor the progress of road construction on the peninsula and their quality, and in case of serious problems, immediately report it to.

“You just need to control what’s happening yourself,” said Medvedev, who himself regularly gets behind the wheel during business trips. “There’s nothing complicated about getting behind the wheel yourself, driving along a new road in a few months, and seeing what condition it’s in.” If it remains in good condition, it means that the contractor must receive 100% of what he is entitled to under the contract.

And if it swells somewhere or, on the contrary, fails, then you need to slap it on the wrist and force it to be redone. If it’s something completely boorish, then send all the materials to law enforcement agencies.”

In order to prevent “theft, which, unfortunately, also happens,” Medvedev demanded that he be informed of how efficiently and timely the allocated funds are spent.

The Tavrida highway will connect Kerch, where a bridge will be built across the Kerch Strait, with Simferopol and Sevastopol.

This will be a four-lane road of the first technical category with a length of 237.5 km with an estimated speed of up to 120 km/h. Its capacity should reach 43 thousand cars per day.

The route will pass through the territory of Crimea from east to west along the route Kerch - Feodosia - Belogorsk - Simferopol - Bakhchisaray - Sevastopol and will become the basis of the peninsula's road network. The Tavrida highway will partially coincide with the existing road, but a significant section will be built outside the Simferopol-Feodosia highway.

So, from Kerch the road will pass near the villages of Batalnoye and Lugovoye, then it will go to Vladislavovka, where builders will build a road in the Kirov and Belogorsky districts. The new highway will provide transport links between Simferopol and the western regions and territory of the Krasnodar Territory and will relieve the street network of settlements from heavy and transit traffic.

Along the entire length of the route, it is planned to build 17 transport interchanges and 90 artificial structures - bridges and overpasses. Currently, as part of the preparation of the territory for construction, storage and technological sites have been equipped and access roads have been laid. The territory is being inspected for the presence of explosive objects, and the top soil and plant layer is being removed.

The existing route “Kerch - Feodosia - Simferopol - Bakhchisaray - Sevastopol” in the Republic of Crimea is a two-lane road with a worn-out surface. It is unlikely to be able to accommodate the large flow of traffic that will travel to the peninsula via the Kerch Bridge in December 2018. Therefore, the Tavrida highway project appeared, which includes both the reconstruction of the existing road and the construction of new sections on the route from Kerch to Sevastopol.

Project history

Prepare a project for the “Tavrida” route from Kerch through Feodosia, Belogorsk, Simferopol, Bakhchisarai to Sevastopol and begin construction work in 2015. At the same time, it was known that some of the plots would be reconstructed, and some would be built anew. Initially, the road was estimated at 45 billion rubles; in 2016, this figure increased to 85 billion rubles, and then to 118 billion and 128 billion rubles. The cost did not stop at this level, and construction of the route began a couple of years later.

The approved design solutions for Tavrida were published by the Ministry of Transport of Crimea at the end of 2016. Then it became known that the route would pass through the territory of Leninsky, Feodosia, Kirov, Belogorsk, Simferopol, Bakhchisaray districts, as well as through the territory of the cities of Sudak, Simferopol, Bakhchisaray. About 23 more kilometers will be built on the territory of Sevastopol (7th stage). Reconstruction of 124.8 km and new construction of 123.3 km are envisaged. Along its entire length, the highway will have 4 lanes, a dividing strip, and the estimated speed will be 120 km/h. Technical category - 1B.

The route, with a total length of about 250 km, will include 20 transport interchanges, 123 overpasses, 15 bridges, 31 overpasses for the passage of agricultural machinery, 17 overpasses from transport interchanges.

At the end of 2016, the State Council of Crimea adopted a bill according to which it was allowed to begin construction of the Tavrida highway before the project passed the inspection of Glavgosexpertiza. This decision was made to optimize the timing of the project and its commissioning, as well as to carry out construction work as efficiently as possible. As a result, construction of the road was given on May 12, 2017. The only contractor for the construction of the Tavrida highway was determined by the Government of the Russian Federation to be the company JSC VAD.

“The timing of the construction of the route will be associated with the pace of construction of the transport crossing across the Kerch Strait, and next year the first stage of construction of this road to Simferopol will be put into operation. Two new lanes will ensure all traffic flows,” Russian Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov said then.

The Tavrida highway project passed the Glavgosexpertiza on October 3, 2017, but it was initially planned that the experts would make their decision by the end of August, after which the deadline would be repeated several times. According to the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, the cost of the route during the examination decreased by 2 billion rubles and amounted to 166 billion rubles, but the amount for purchases is less.

Construction stages

Even before the Tavrida highway project was ready, it was decided to divide the construction into several stages in order to speed up the pace of work. As a result, the road was divided into 7 stages, while the final stage, Sevastopol, became a little separate, even the contract for it will be concluded separately.

The first 6 stages look like this:

Stage 1 - 70.8 km (the beginning of the section in the area of ​​​​the transport interchange of approaches to the Kerch Bridge, the end - in the area of ​​​​the village of Primorsky);

Stage 2 - 50 km (the beginning of the section along a new direction in the area of ​​the village of Primorsky, the end - exit to the Belogorsk - Lgovskoye road in the area of ​​the village of Lgovskoye);

Stage 3 - 35.6 km (from the exit to the Belogorsk - Lgovskoye road to the exit to the Simferopol - Feodosiya road in the Belogorsk area);

Stage 4 - 27.5 km (from the exit to the Simferopol - Feodosia road to the bypass of Simferopol);

Stage 5 - 24.7 km (from the bypass of Simferopol to the exit to the Simferopol - Bakhchisaray - Sevastopol road in the Levadka area);

Stage 6 - 28.9 km (from the exit to the Simferopol - Bakhchisaray - Sevastopol highway in the area of ​​​​the village of Levadki to the border of the Bakhchisaray district).

Sections of the 1st, 4th and 6th stages are reconstruction of the existing route. Two new lanes will be built parallel to the existing road. Then the transport will be transferred to the new half of the road, and the old half will be renovated.

Stages No. 2 and No. 3 are a bypass of the cities of Feodosia, Stary Krym and Belogorsk, new construction is provided here. Stage No. 5 - bypassing Simferopol, here the road will also be rebuilt.

Of the large artificial structures on the route, an example is the bridge over the Alma River at stage 6. Its length will be 198.4 m, the spans will be steel-reinforced concrete. At the border of the 4th and 5th stages (189th km), a large transport interchange with 11 exits will be built, the total length of which is 5.5 km. In total, within the framework of the 1st stage of “Tavrida” there are 3 interchanges: at the 13th, 52nd and 76th km. At the 2nd stage, 2 interchanges will be built: at the 89th km (intersection with the Feodosiya - Dzhankoy highway) and at the 125th km, at the 3rd stage - at the 154th km (intersection with the Belogorsk - Nizhnegorsky highway), as well as at border with the 4th stage (161st km). At the fourth stage, two interchanges will appear: at km 176 and km 180. The largest number of interchanges is concentrated on the 5th and 6th stages: at the 189th km, 201st km, 216th km, 219th km, 229th km, 233rd km, 242nd km and at the 251st km.

"Sevastopol" stage of the "Tavrida" route

The city government is responsible for the 7th stage of the Tavrida highway, which will pass through the territory of Sevastopol. Its length changed several times: sometimes it was 23 km, sometimes 16 km (from the 253rd km to the 269th km). According to the Department of Transport and Development of Road Transport Infrastructure of Sevastopol, the actual length of the section will be 13.25 km.

It will run from the border with the Bakhchisaray district along the Simferopol - Bakhchisaray - Sevastopol highway to the 17th km of the Sevastopol - Inkerman highway (Presidential Road). The section of the route will pass in a new direction, without affecting residential and outbuildings, partly along agricultural lands (vineyards) in the area of ​​the village. Verkhnesadovaya.

The Sevastopol section of the Tavrida, like the entire route, will have technical category 1B. There will be four lanes of traffic here with a dividing strip 2.75 m wide. The project provides for the construction of two overpasses and one bridge: an overpass over the existing road Verkhnesadovoye - Frontovoye - Krasny Mak, an overpass at exit No. 2 of the transport interchange at PK 6+31 and a bridge over the river Belbek and railway tracks. In the place where the project route leaves the existing Simferopol - Bakhchisarai - Sevastopol road to a new direction, it is planned to construct a transport interchange on two levels. The transport interchange is classified as a “Pipe” type junction.

“On sections of the road where excavation of more than 16 m is planned, engineering protection is carried out against dangerous geological processes, which is represented by retaining walls on a pile foundation, reinforced with anchor piles. Slab-anchoring and soil erosion protection are provided on the slopes. Surface water is diverted outside the structures through trays and upland ditches,” the Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development of Sevastopol told the DorInfo portal.

Currently, preparatory work is underway on the Sevastopol section of the route. Work is planned on the installation of small artificial structures - culverts of metal corrugated pipes under the embankment of the designed transport interchange.

In general, construction work is being carried out along the entire length of the Tavrida highway. According to the head of the construction department of JSC VAD in Crimea, Andrey Lazorsky, most of the work has now been completed at the 1st stage of construction of the route. Here, asphalt concrete pavement is laid for 8 kilometers. In total, there are 18 km of asphalt concrete on the section from Kerch to Belogorsk. By the end of 2017, the area of ​​paved pavement should be about 700 thousand square meters. meters.

The contract for the construction of six stages of the route was concluded with the VAD company on November 21, 2017. The contract value is 137.3 billion rubles. The contract for the construction of the seventh stage is still at the signing stage. The cost of the section will be 12.8 billion rubles, and the total price of the road will be about 150 billion rubles. The two-lane version of Tavrida should open at the end of 2018, and the 4-lane version in 2020. Full commissioning of the facility is scheduled for December 30, 2020.

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. Bakhchisaray
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 works are 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 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 includes a bridge and excavation of part of the road.
A karst cave was discovered in the Belogorsk region.
