Krasnodar and the Crimean Bridge will be connected by a high-speed highway
Currently, the Ministry of Transport, Rosavtodor and the state company Avtodor are discussing the construction of a new free highway that will connect Krasnodar with the Crimean Bridge.
The Moscow business newspaper Vedomsti writes about this, citing sources in Rosavtodor and Avtodor. The same information was confirmed by the Ministry of Transport.
“Now two roads lead from Krasnodar to Crimea: one of them is through Krymsk and Dzhiginka, the second and main one - A-289 with a length of 150 km - goes from Krasnodar to Slavyansk-on-Kuban and the city of Temryuk. Traffic on the automobile part of the Crimean Bridge is growing (about 36 cars per day), and distant approaches to the bridge cannot cope with the flow of cars. In summer, traffic almost stops due to traffic jams,” the publication notes.
Drivers complain that traffic jams occur almost along the entire route, especially in urban areas, and road service facilities (gas stations and toilets) are a rarity on the highways.
It is planned that the new road should go south of A-289 - almost from Temryuk to another future route, the Far Western Bypass of Krasnodar.
In total, it is planned to build 128 km of a new road, which, in fact, will become a new direction of the A-289 highway from the intersection with the future Far Western Bypass of Krasnodar to the A-290 highway. The work is scheduled to be completed in 2022.
