The railway is bypassing Ukraine. Map of the railways of Russia. Construction of railways

The map of the Russian railways is one of thethe largest and most ramified in the world. This type of transport is of exceptional importance in the organization and clear functioning of the commodity market of the state. The second, but no less important, destination is passenger transportation, which accounts for about 40% of the total number of railroad movements. Also, the role of railway communication in establishing ties with other states, and in particular with the members of the Commonwealth of Independent States, is great. But in recent years, tense relations with Ukraine have led to a project to build a road around the neighboring country.

Historical background

The construction of an alternative route wasfar Soviet times. This is a section of traffic along the Moscow-Adler highway (this is a railway bypassing Ukraine). Then there were no problems with crossing the borders of the republics, because in fact they were a single country. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, too, there were no special difficulties, because the countries remained on good terms and accepted an agreement that transit trains are not subject to border inspection. That is, the composition was to follow without delays from the capital of Russia and to the final destination - Adler.

But already in those days there were thoughts ofimprove the high-speed traffic on this site. The reason for this was the additional difficulties that arise with any problem on the route of this train. After all, if this highway is closed, the nearest possible route will be laid through Volgograd. The team will arrive at the destination with a delay of almost half a day.

The second problem was the impossibility of quality maintenance on the whole site. It is also very difficult to control the high-speed flow at the border crossing four times.

Since Russian railways could notholistically develop without this branch, then in 2008 specialists developed a project to replace the route. It was predicted that construction will begin by 2018. But the events in Ukraine in 2014 led to the fact that all terms were maximally reduced and moved. In fact now one more problem is added - it is the boundary and customs control. Under such conditions, it is impossible to ensure the comfort and safety of passengers on the road. Therefore, it was decided to build a similar highway, only on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Choose an option

The construction of railways is a verythin and expensive. For this project, the state initially allocated four hundred and eighty billion rubles. These funds were supposed to go to circumnavigate a single site located in the territory of the neighbor country. At this distance of thirty-seven kilometers is the station Zorinovka, which will soon be cut off.

The first version of the backup line wasa highway connecting Prokhorovka, Zhuravka, Chertkovo and Bataysk. In total, the length of this site is 750 kilometers. This would significantly increase the network capacity in the direction from the center of the country to the south. The development of the project was envisaged by the program for the development of the transport system of the Russian Federation. The erection of this segment should take two years - from 2018 to 2020.

But due to the maximum compression of the terms the construction plan was revised. Several variants of the project were developed by specialists:

• The first - connects Zhuravka and Sheptukhovka, the length of the line is 149 kilometers;
• The second one passes through Kantemirovka and Sheptukhovka, the length of the line is 146 kilometers;
• the third - cross Zhuravka and Millerovo, the length of the line - 122 kilometers.

Among all three proposals, the mosta short section of the railway network. This was the decisive factor in the decision. After all, the goal was not only to ensure security, but also to make changes without a special sensation for passengers. People should get to that destination as comfortably as possible, and this can not be guaranteed by lengthening the path.

Construction benefits

The railway bypassing Ukraine will createset of new stations. This, in turn, will lead to the emergence of jobs, as well as to the revitalization of settlements located near. Historically, it has happened that in the places where the railway is laid, development of the terrain inevitably takes place.

That is, such a positive result soonwill be observed in Zaitsevka and Sergeevka in the Voronezh region, as well as in Sownove, Kuteykovo, Vinogradovka, Kolodez and Bochenkovo ​​in the Rostov region. It is also planned to build a bridge over the Belaya Kalitva River.

Disadvantages of construction

Although initially it was believed that the ironthe road bypassing Ukraine will be a good solution to the problem, however, not everything is so smooth. On the one hand, some settlements will get a boost in development, but others, on the contrary, will end up in isolation.

The map of the railways will be arranged so thatcut off from life will be a couple of areas in the Rostov and Lugansk regions. Especially the Chertkov residents are grieving about this. For some, the maintenance of the Chertkovo-Millerovo site was the only source of earnings. It was this station that fed the entire locality. And if one half of the population worked directly on the railroad, then others - lived off the sales at the time of the train stop. Now many people will remain without additional, and some without basic earnings. The Russian railways of this direction received special profit in the summer. For example, on this stretch for a day in the holiday period passed up to eighty trains. The only solution to this issue is the possibility to leave the Chertkovo-Millerovo train and use this line for freight trains.

Cons for Ukrainians

Naturally, the railway, bypassing Ukrainebuilt, will lead to negative consequences for its residents. The population of Markov, Belovodsk and Melovsky districts will be especially affected, since people living there used Russian trains very often. It was very convenient, because in a short time you can cross the border.

While Ukrainians are forced to get to Chertkovo. Residents of the Melovsky district - it's easy, just cross the bridge. The rest use the services of taxi drivers who, for one hundred and fifty rubles, will take them to their destination. However, this is for the time being. In the process of construction, this station will be moved from the border by twenty-five kilometers. The map of the railways identified it near the village of Kuteinikovo. But the problem is that it will only be transit. That is, the trains will not stop here. The nearest stations are located in a hundred kilometers from Kuteykovo. From the village will have to go either to Millerovo of the Rostov region, or to Kantemirovka of the Voronezh region. If you overcome this distance by taxi, it will cost a thousand rubles, which not everyone can afford.

Stage 2015

It was in 2015 that construction beganrailroads bypassing Ukraine. Then the first section was built, which should connect the settlements of Zhuravlevka and Millerovo. The work is carried out by the Railway Troops. A base was prepared for the two stations of the railway - Zaitsevka and Sergeevka.

Stage 2016

The next stage of construction was laidThe first link of the rail-grille. The railways of Russia will connect two new stations. Earthwork was almost completed on time. Laying of tracks in the Voronezh region is completed.

Stage 2017

The organization "Railways of Russia" declaresthe implementation of fifty percent of the project by January 2017. At the final stage of construction came out in the Kantemirovsky and Bogucharsky areas. The Minister of Defense, through the press center, declares that the map of the railways of Russia will be replenished by a new line by September of this year.
