Work will begin on August 15 at 9:00 PM. Specialists will replace approximately 50,000 square meters of pavement. The asphalt will be laid in a continuous layer across the entire width of the roadway. The main phase of the work is scheduled for the weekend when traffic is lighter. The repairs are expected to be completed by August 18 at 5:00 AM.

  • The last pavement renewal on this section of Tverskaya Street took place in 2021. Thanks to seamless laying, the surface lasted four seasons without repairs. According to standards, the lifespan of asphalt on first-category roads, which includes Tverskaya, is three years. Currently, due to heavy traffic, rutting has formed on the roadway.

During the repairs, traffic will be blocked on the following sections:

  • Tverskaya St. (from Nastasyinsky Lane to 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya);
  • 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya (from Tverskaya to Lesnaya);
  • Sadovaya-Triumfalnaya (exit to 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya);
  • Chayanova St. (from 2nd Tverskaya-Yamskaya to 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya);
  • Gashek St. (from 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya to 1st Brestskaya);
  • Julius Fucik St. (from 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya to 1st Brestskaya).

Restrictions will also affect other areas: 1st and 2nd Tverskaya-Yamskaya Lanes, Oruzheiny Lane, as well as Alexander Nevsky Lane. Until 11:00 PM on August 15, two lanes in Bolshoy Putinkovsky Lane will be closed from Tverskaya to Malaya Dmitrovka.

Two-way traffic will be introduced in several lanes, and temporary parking bans will be enforced. This applies to Nastasyinsky, Degtyarny, Staropimenovsky, Mamonsky, and Blagoveshchensky Lanes.
