On the segment of the Central Ring Road, which connects the fifth and third launch facilities of the route, the first asphalt laying and road surfacing are under preparation. This section was not planned originally, therefore, on the main course of the ring road, a gap of 7.8 kilometers has been formed, which could create a lot of inconvenience for motorists after launching the traffic. For example, those who are driving through from M-7 Volga Highway (Entuziastov Highway, the end point of the third start-up facility of CRR-3) to M-10 Russia (connected to the fifth launch facility of the CRR) would have to go off the ring road and go a long way round. Therefore, it was decided to build an additional section, which was called CRR 3-5. It has been completed for more than 50 percent and the road workers plan to start traffic there at the end of this year.
Although the section is not long, several artificial structures will be located there: a bridge over the Klyazma River (almost 50 meters long), two motorway junctions, five local sewage treatment plants, and 14 thousand square meters of noise screens.
One of the motorway junctions will pass over a local road (more than 80 meters long), the other one - through a railway (more than 173 meters long). Now the works on erection of supports are carried out there, in July it is also planned to install span beams.
As part of the construction of CRR 3-5 with M-11 interchange, the works are implemented on the motorway junction that leads to the third launch facility of the Central Ring Road, passing through A-104 Dmitrovskoye Highway (Moscow - Dmitrov - Dubna), M-8 Kholmogory to M- 7. Spans have been launched there, now the works are carried out on concreting the roadway slab on the left side, whereas on the right side the waterproofing of the roadway slab and installation of embedded elements of the crash barrier have started.
This motorway junction is part of the main route of the Central Ring Road, its length is more than 160 meters, width of 39 meters. 1,100 tons of span metal, 15,000 bolts, about 5,100 cubic meters of reinforced concrete were needed to complete the construction. Like the entire section of CRR 3-5, the motorway junction will have four lanes consisting of two lanes in each direction.
The junction itself will become the entry point for the CRR traffic flows to the toll section named Neva . It will allow transit transport that drives from the north and in the opposite direction to save time and not make a mileage of more than 40 kilometers to the Moscow Ring Road. In the future, the traffic flow from St. Petersburg will be able to leave through this junction, passing along the Central Ring Road and onto M-12 (Moscow-Kazan), within the international transport corridor Europe-Western China.
