Russia - How the repair of the road complex of the Volzhskaya HPP changed the life of the Volzhans

Russia (bbabo.net), - Last autumn, the long-awaited - three-year - repair of the road complex of the Volzhskaya HPP was completed in the Volgograd region. It was the first overhaul since 1958, when the dam was reopened to traffic. It connects two large cities: Volgograd and Volzhsky, standing on opposite banks of the river.

“The life of all the Volga residents was divided into before and after the repair. This is me without irony,” Ivan Kuznetsov from Volzhan shared. “During the repair, we went to Volgograd, only if it was absolutely impossible to do without it. there, an hour back. My life sparkled with new colors. "

In 2018, the strategic facility was included in the federal program. 7.7 thousand square meters of the roadway were restored on the bridge complex. The total thickness of the new coating is 12 centimeters. Also installed new lighting poles, railings and barrier fencing. Warranty - five years. For three years, about a billion rubles were spent on repairs.

And Ufa, thanks to the new bridge, reduced the number of traffic jams. It was opened last year. This is an insert bridge across the Belaya River in the alignment of Vorovsky Street. It was erected between two existing structures without blocking traffic. The bridge was also built within the framework of the national project "Safe Quality Roads". It is located in one of the busiest parts of the city during peak hours - the southern entrance connecting the central part of Ufa with the airport. More than 160 thousand cars pass through here every day.

Ufa residents say that they waited for the opening of the bridge not in vain. “A very necessary bridge, it greatly unloaded the road. It became more convenient and comfortable to travel to work,” said Rafael Kagarmanov, a resident of the Demsky district.

Taxi drivers are also happy: now they manage to fulfill two to three times more orders during peak hours, saving time and gasoline.
