Marat Khusnullin: Work has begun to expand the overpass on the Adler bypass
A developed road network is the most important factor in the sustainable socio-economic growth of the country. In this regard, large-scale infrastructure projects are being implemented, including the construction of the Adler bypass. It will be part of the prospective highway from the federal highway M-4 “Don” to the city of Sochi. Currently, builders have begun to expand the dimensions of the existing overpass at the 6th km of the A-149 Adler – Krasnaya Polyana road, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.
“The megaproject for the construction of the M-4 Don-Sochi highway will give a powerful impetus to the development of the economy of the southern regions of Russia and will help to significantly improve the transport situation on the Black Sea coast. We will implement it in stages. And among the priority sections is the Adler bypass, about 10 km long. The road will connect the village of Kudepsta and the village of Vysokoye. The construction of the new section will increase the tourist potential of this direction, reduce travel time to the Sochi airport and Krasnaya Polyana, ensure the withdrawal of transit transport from the resort area of Adler and improve the environmental situation of the coastal territory. As part of this project, the overpass at the 6th km of the A-149 Adler-Krasnaya Polyana highway is being reconstructed. By now, work has begun to increase its dimensions. The artificial structure and its approaches will be expanded to two traffic lanes, one in the forward and reverse directions. We plan to put the overpass into operation before the start of the resort season, so that this summer Sochi residents and its guests will have the opportunity to travel along it in both directions, both towards Adler and towards Krasnaya Polyana,” said Marat Khusnullin.
The reconstruction of the overpass started in November last year. Before its expansion, a large complex of works was completed. In particular, specialists removed the fencing elements, noise protection screens, layers of the bridge deck from the existing bridge structure, dismantled the utility networks and side consoles of the overpass.
According to the Chairman of the Board of the state company Avtodor, Vyacheslav Petushenko, work at the site is currently being carried out in two shifts.
“These days, the builders are using powerful jacks to lift the overpass sections by several centimeters and transfer them to temporary supports, the so-called bridge structures, erected earlier. Then, new metal consoles will be mounted on both sides of the overpass to expand the overpass dimensions. In total, 95 people and 15 units of equipment are involved in the work. Upon completion, the builders will be able to begin preparing and assembling tunnel boring machines at the construction site to begin tunneling the Adler bypass,” Vyacheslav Petushenko noted.
