In the Sverdlovsk region, a new bridge will be opened ahead of schedule over the railway crossing, where there have always been huge traffic jams.
The readiness of the overpass on the "Yekaterinburg - Kurgan" route in the Sverdlovsk region has reached 80%.
Construction of the overpass over the railway tracks continues at the 55th kilometer of the federal highway R-354 Yekaterinburg - Shadrinsk - Kurgan. According to Uralavtodor, the technical readiness of the facility is about 80%.
Construction began in September 2025 as part of the national project "Infrastructure for Life." The new overpass is designed to solve the problem of traffic jams that regularly occurred before the railway crossing.
The installation of the span structure has already been completed at the site. Currently, contractors are preparing the road surface, relocating engineering communications, and power lines. More than 400,000 cubic meters of soil have been filled, 60% of the reinforced soil retaining walls have been built, and over 6,000 square meters of the lower layers of the road foundation have been laid.
The overpass will be four-lane, with a barrier separating oncoming traffic. There will also be exits and turnaround loops for connection with nearby settlements, noise barriers, and safety elements for pedestrians.
The first stage of construction is planned to be completed this year, after which working traffic will be opened in November on two lanes in each direction.
The entire facility is expected to be put into operation by the end of 2027.
