2024: Speed ​ ​ backup of the Dzhubga-Sochi highway will be paid

In the south of Russia, the construction of a new toll route Dzhubga-Sochi worth ₽74 billion will begin. This high-speed highway will become an understudy of the existing A-147 highway, which suffers from overload in the summer. The project involves the creation of a four-lane road that will significantly reduce travel time along the popular route. This was announced in mid-September 2024 by the head of the state company Avtodor Vyacheslav Petushenko.

According to Interfax, the length of the new highway will be 152 km, it will pass from the federal highway of the Don M-4 near the city of Goryachiy Klyuch and will end at the Adler microdistrict, near the airport. This road will be built in stages, and the first of the sections - the bypass of Adler - is already in the implementation stage. As Petushenko noted, the design of the next stages of construction will begin before the end of 2024, and the completion of the third stage of the Sochi bypass is planned by 2028.

The new road will have an estimated speed of up to 100 km/h and will significantly reduce travel time, which averages 10 hours on the existing serpentine. The project will also contribute to the unloading of the central regions of Sochi and improve the transport accessibility of Adler Airport. The project provides for the construction of bypasses of cities such as Tuapse, Sochi and other areas along the Black Sea coast.

Grigory Volkov, Deputy Director of the Construction Department of the Government of the Russian Federation, said that it is planned to attract funds from extrabudgetary sources to implement this capital-intensive project. The main financing mechanism will be the issue of bonds of the state company Avtodor, which will allow the project to be implemented without a significant increase in state funding.^[1]
