Eastern departure exit from Ufa passed state examination

UFA, 23 November 2018. /Bashinform News Agency, Galina Bakhshieva/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/.A large-scale investment project for the creation of a new exit from Ufa to the M-5 “Ural” highway (Eastern Exit) received a positive conclusion of the Glavgosexpertiza (General Board of State Expert Review) of Russia. This was reported by the press service of the State Committee RB for Transport and Road Facilities.

As reported by the Bashinform News Agency, the project is planned to be implemented in the form of a concession. An agreement on this was signed last summer by the republican Government and Bashkir Concession Company LLC at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

The total investment will make about 34 billion rubles. The term of the concession agreement is 25 years. Of these, four years is devoted to the construction of a transport corridor.

The agreement covers a road tunnel, a bridge over the Ufa River in the alignment of the Halle Street, a section of the road from the bridge over the Ufa River to the M-5 “Ural” federal highway as well as a toll point and a road maintenance company.

As emphasized by the State Committee for Transport, the implementation of this large-scale project will create an additional exit from the territory of the Ufa Peninsula, which will be an attractive alternative for drivers.
