At the 681st km of the M-11 “Neva” highway, construction is underway on a transport interchange to Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg
At the 681st km of the M-11 Neva highway, a transport interchange to Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg is being built. It includes three overpasses. Currently, specialists are working on the foundations of two artificial structures made of bored piles. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
“A lot has been done in the context of road activities to connect the regions of the country with single routes in different directions. Thanks to the launch of new sections and the reconstruction of existing ones, a seamless, traffic-light-free route has already been created from St. Petersburg to the Republic of Bashkortostan and Sevastopol, which also runs along the M-11 “Neva” highway. This road system will also include a new interchange on the M-11 to Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg, which is being built on the instructions of the President. Specialists have begun to construct the foundations of two future overpasses over Pulkovo Highway from bored piles. They have already driven 16 piles for the first support and have begun drilling the piles of the third support. This is the most important stage of the work, on which the stability and reliability of the entire transport interchange depends in the future. In total, three overpasses are planned to be built as part of the future transport infrastructure facility, for which 151 piles need to be driven and 20 supports erected,” said Marat Khusnullin.
The new access road to Pulkovo Airport starts at the 681st km of the M-11 Neva highway, crosses Pulkovo Highway and is directly adjacent to the entrance to the airport. The first overpass is located directly above the M-11 Neva, and the other two are above Pulkovo Highway. The new complex of road structures will allow motorists to safely and quickly get to the air harbor.
According to the Chairman of the Board of the state company Avtodor, Vyacheslav Petushenko, this project is of great importance, since it affects the increase of transport accessibility and connectivity of the country’s regions, especially in the context of the predicted increase in passenger turnover at Pulkovo Airport.
“We are building a connecting four-lane highway of the highest technical category, without traffic lights and intersections with other roads at the same level. Now we are installing bored piles at the site using two drilling rigs. The piles have been drilled into the first support of the two future overpasses over Pulkovo Highway, and now we are installing the reinforcement frame and assembling the formwork for concreting the grillage. At the same time, we are carrying out work on installing the roadbed, bringing in and compacting sandy soil,” noted Vyacheslav Petushenko.
The total length of the new connecting road, as well as all exits at the intersection of M-11 “Neva” and Pulkovo Highway, will be 5.5 km. Opening of traffic on it for motorists is planned for the end of 2026.
