CRR-it is a system of paid roads in the Moscow region, the purpose of which is to solve the problems of traffic jams in the Moscow region. The length of the road is about 500 km, and now there is an active construction of its sections. The ring road is planned to be put into operation by 2025, but since the announcement of the project, experts have expressed their opinion about its danger to the environment.
The ring road will pass through 13 districts of the Moscow region, combining them into a high-speed highway (permitted speed — up to 120 km/h). There will be built bypasses around Noginsk, Elektrostal, Khotkovo, Rostov, Kirov, Khimki, Balashikha, Odintsovo. Klin, Solnechnogorsk, Povarovo, Kubinka, Klimovsk, Domodedovo, Bronnitsy, Elektrostal, Noginsk and Rakhmanovo are considered as the main hub of development. At the intersection with 18 radial highways there will be multi-level interchanges, and the crossings with railways will also be separated into different levels. In total, it is planned to build 31 interchanges and 180 artificial constructions. The new ring will have the width of up to 3-4 lanes in each direction, between the outer and inner sides of the ring separation barrier will be built. It is expected that the ring road is one of the most advanced highways in the country: modern automatic system of traffic control, weather station, platform for helicopters, means of emergency communication parking for the rest of the drivers and the zone of road service. But having solved the problem of traffic congestion, the Central ring road creates a huge problem for the environment.
First, from 40 to 60% of the road will run through forest areas. Under the felling fall forests on an area of more than 5,000 hectares. will be cut down for 3 km on each side of the highway. According to the head of the forest program "Greenpeace Russia" Alexei Yaroshenko, as a result of the project the green zone of Moscow will be reduced by 12%. Secondly, the construction of the road will affect valuable natural complexes with hydraulic system, different complexity and fragility. The increase in the areas of industrial and residential development within the catchment area of the upper reaches of the Moscow river and in the territories bordering the drinking water reservoirs will lead to an increase in the amount of pollutants going to the sources of drinking water supply. Also, the ring road will affect wildlife refuge. Next to it there are 19 nature reserves, 4 of which stand in the way of the road. And thanks to the radial "tentacles" that will stretch from Moscow to the Central ring road, to wild corners of nature with rare inhabitants may fail to remain in place. Especially harmful construction can affect rare species, in the result species diversity can be greatly reduced. Also, some experts suggest that the ring road can make a significant contribution to the warming of the mesoclimate of the Moscow region.
Of course, the Central Ring Road will become a global center of freight turnover in the region, will enable the development of the territories adjacent to it, will reduce the transport flow in the Moscow region by redistributing the transit of vehicles, will provide convenient communication of the region. But, in terms of ecology, this project is controversial and makes you think about what is more important: the health of residents and environmental friendliness of the region or the creation of a new transport hub.
