On the Fourth Ring Road scored a bolt?

Writes Dmitry Chistoprudov:

Fourth Ring Road - is being built, the nestroyaschayasya road in Moscow. In the development of the project was planned, that the commissioning of the motorway will reduce the burden on the Moscow Ring Road and Third Ring Road, will improve inter-connection in the city.
I drove there once at Semenovskoe and accidentally pulled into the CTK ... Report starred itself.

Ph 28 under the cut





1. It all started well and cheerfully. March 1, 2008 started the construction of the section from the highway enthusiasts to Izmailovsky highway. The truth did not start to build the road, and parking, which will be held at the track. This photograph was taken in August 2008, it can be seen as bubbling construction and the building is growing before our eyes.



2. At the end of 2009 opened traffic on the support sections of the highway enthusiasts to Izmailovsky highway (two lanes in each direction) and ... everything.



3. This is what gives Yandex. Prefect HLW Moscow Nikolay Evtiheev reported that the first section of the PTC will be opened in 2008. Then in 2009 the day of the city, and then in 2010, in 2011 ...



4. Having been on a construction site, I can safely say that in 2011, nothing will. And in 2012, too.
"In March of this year, Moscow authorities said they plan to change the Fourth Ring Road project and to finish the highway in" abridged version ". But in spite of this in 2013 is planned to fully open the first part of the line - from the highway enthusiasts to Izmailovsky highway. "(Source: motor.ru/news/2011/03/11/chtk/ )



5. In fact done a lot, and at the moment the work does not stop. This is in spite of the statement by Sergei Sobyanin: "In such a cost I'm not ready to build the transport infrastructure. That makes no sense. Build a third ring. Great. The transport situation in the city after that improved? Worsened. And it's a lot of work. If you build a Fourth Ring Road, it is now worth more than 1 trillion rubles. That is all in the city do not have to build and plow ten years Fourth Ring Road. City all die. "



6. What sort of value do you mean? In "The Ninth Wonder of the World" on the site Motor.ru are curious calculations:
"Some publications have compared the cost per kilometer of line with the cost of a kilometer Large Hadron Collider, the other - with a unique bridge in France or with a tunnel in Boston, who became the most expensive construction project in US history.
However, authorities believe that the amount allocated for the construction of 3, 8-km section of the PTC between road enthusiasts and Izmailovsky highway, is quite explicable, not overpriced and low and comparable in complexity of projects in other countries are much more expensive. »



7. "Based on the construction budget 3, 8-kilometer stretch of 66, 06 billion rubles (or 2, 27 billion (2, 27 M & A L & A R DA! - My note) dollars at the rate of 29 rubles to the dollar ), the price for the "linear kilometers' route is 597 million dollars.»



8. "will resort to comparisons: for example, the construction of 2, 4-km Millau Viaduct in France, has cost $ 530 million - less than the cost of building one kilometer of ČTK. With that, the French bridge - a real masterpiece of engineering: in its very highest point of the road surface is at a distance of 270 meters from the ground; on account of his three world records, one of which - the highest in the world support. In addition, this building is 17 meters higher than the famous Eiffel Tower. »



9. "Even the construction of one of the most advanced projects in the world - the Eurotunnel under the English Channel, which consists of three parallel tunnels going - cost to investors of 10 billion pounds. Or 14, 98 billion at the exchange rate as of May 1994, when the tunnel was officially opened. The tunnel - 51 kilometers.
If we divide the total cost of the project at the mileage, will that line kilometers area CTK (597 million dollars) worth twice as much as the same length of Eurotunnel (293 million dollars), 2, 8 times more expensive than the Millau Viaduct in France (214, 8 million dollars per kilometer) and 2 and 14 times more expensive than a bridge across the Baltic Sea called Fehmarn (277, 7 million). »



10. "Resin brought the amount which would have cost the erection of the same section of the road, whether it is built in the open field: a total of 30 billion rubles, as would not have to buy the garage of the population and moving companies. In addition, the authorities did not have to be spent on the reconstruction of railways, maintenance of existing tram lines and the construction of complex interchanges and bridges. »



11. According to the chief architect of the city of Moscow Alexander Kuzmin, we were given the most difficult negotiations with the owners of garages who do not want to sell their small plots authorities. As a result, work on the preparation of the territory for the construction of the PTC cost the city in a rather big sum - 13, 08 billion rubles. The only structure, which turned easily agree - is JSC "Russian Railways" (not surprising tender for the area along the small ring of the Moscow railway length of 3.871 meters was won by "Mostotrest", whose shareholders are the structures Railways.)



12. "The high cost of the project is due to complex engineering solutions of this segment CTK. So, 2, 2 kilometer road will pass through the land, while the remaining sections will be constructed overpass. The route will have four lanes in both directions, plus an additional band at congresses and entrances to the highway. »

15. - Guys, how's construction?
- Great! A good way to be! And you of any newspaper?



16. Multi-level surface parking for 5,000 cars. Visually, everything is built.



17. But inside the car is not.



18.



19.



20. Under the parking pass two tunnels on the 4 lanes each.



21. The official version - are commissioning.
- When will the commissioning?
- At the end of the year, probably.



22. According to the unofficial version (from the workers who came out from the facility):
- When dostroyut something?
- Yes Dunno. Year still accurate pass.
- Why? Outwardly, everything is ready.
- The money ran out. And you of any newspaper?



23. America.



24. Another big question - why build such grandiose pedestrian crossings on the track? WHAT FOR?



25. In the span width is available to fit two lanes for cars. Why not make a simple transition, as in most railway stations? Why else would necessarily make the roof?



26. The only normal explanation for why we need such capital structure - for the installation of elevators for people with disabilities.



27. But, as practice shows an example of transitions on the Ring Road, all elevator shafts tightly welded. Money is allocated, there is no elevator.



28. Be CTK!
