The SMSD is being built bypassing the central part of St. Petersburg. It starts from the Western High-speed Diameter and should join the ring road in the Kudrovo area. The length of the highway will be 27.4 km, including 14.2 km in St. Petersburg and 8.2 km in the Leningrad region.
Recall that in April, Vladimir Putin instructed St. Petersburg to allocate 90 billion rubles from the federal budget for the construction of a high-speed Latitudinal highway. The cost of the second, third and fourth stages of the route is estimated at 241 billion rubles.
Not so long ago, we talked about the Rating of regions for the implementation of the national project "Safe high-quality roads".
