The Moscow Automobile Ring Road (Template:Langx), or MKAD (Template:Langx), is a ring road running predominantly on the city border of Moscow, with a length of 108.9 km (67.7 mi) and 35 exits (including ten interchanges). Completed in 1962, the road has a speed limit of 100 km/h.
History
The growth of traffic in and around Moscow in the 1950s made city planners realise that Russia's largest metropolis needed a bypass to redirect incoming traffic from major roads that run through the city. Construction started in 1956.[1] Opened in 1962,[2] the MKAD had four asphalt lanes and ran 108.9 kilometres along the city's borders. Although not yet a freeway, it featured interchanges at major junctions, very few traffic lights, and a speed limit of 100 km/h (62 mph).
From 1960 to 1984 the MKAD followed the administrative boundary of Moscow, but in the 1980s the city began annexing territory outside the beltway. In December 2002, Bulvar Dmitriya Donskogo became the first Moscow Metro station that opened beyond the limits of the MKAD.[3]
From 1995 to 1999 workers widened the road from the initial four to ten lanes; all intersections became grade-separated, pedestrian bridges were built to accommodate pedestrians, traffic lights were removed, and a solid concrete barrier was installed in the median. In 2001, all slow-moving vehicles were banned from entering the MKAD, and the renovated road received a freeway designation from the mayor's office.
