Kirovsky bridge in Samara: discovery, description, travel
Where there is now the Kirovsky Bridge in Samara, once in the fifties of the last century there was a ferry crossing across the river. In those days, this territory was in the zone of interests of the NKVD. At the moment, the modern bridge crossing is a broad, clean road without traffic jams, and driving it raises the mood of Samara motorists.
Building
The erection of this structure across the Samarka River began in 2007. The cost of this facility was approximately twelve billion rubles, eight of them were directed from the federal budget.
Kirovsky bridge in Samara is presented in the form of a screw structure and can pass up to thirty thousand cars per day. It was the third crossing over the river. The first was built in 1954, the second - in 1974, and only forty years later, the city authorities decided to erect this structure. All residents eagerly awaited when they open the Kirovsky Bridge. Samara was in great need of a new carriageway across the river, so that it was possible to unload the others and thereby avoid traffic jams, but the date of the beginning of its operation was postponed several times.
Where can I go?
This transition was built to give the development of the left-bank part of the city and provide access to such routes as the M5 leading to the Urals, as well as to Shymkent and other federal roads.
At present, the Kirovsky Bridge in Samara can lead motorists to the village of Chernorechye, from where you can drive to Belozyorka and Mykolayivka. Through it you can also get to Novokuibyshevsk. But in this case the road will be twenty-five kilometers longer than through the Southern crossing. Also, everyone is waiting for the opening of the Kirovsky Bridge (Samara), or rather its 2,5 km section, which will lead to a bypass road. City authorities promise that this event should occur next year.
Start of operation
The grand opening of the Kirov bridge in Samara took place on October 10, 2014. All residents were waiting for this moment, since this facility was built for seven years. But due to late financing, it was not possible to finish all the access roads to it.
The opening was attended by the Governor of Samara region and the Minister of Transport of Russia. They were also very pleased with such a grandiose event that took place on the eve of Motorist Day.
The opening of the Kirov bridge in Samara allowed the regional capital not only to get an alternative exit from the city, but also to develop and further build the territory beyond the river. Therefore, this object is of strategic importance.
The first on the bridge that day, let him builders on his special equipment, while on the entrance to it a line of cars gathered, wishing to pass through the bridge just at the time of its opening. They were ready to wait, not even minutes, but hours, to try out an ideally flat roadway.
Impressions of the citizens
This news for Samara and all its residents was very joyful, therefore caused a storm of positive emotions. They were happy that thanks to the new construction across the river in their city, there will finally be an end to perpetual traffic jams and traffic jams. Samarans, therefore, received an additional means of communication in their regional center, which was very pleased.
Litigation
Last year, the administration of the Federal Service of the Sredne-Povolzhsky District for Environmental, Technological and Nuclear Supervision filed a suit demanding that the Ministry of Transport and Highways of the region be brought to administrative responsibility, namely, to suspend the operation of this facility. In the course of their audit, they established that the Kirovsky Bridge (Samara, 2014) has not yet received permission to launch, but nevertheless, the movement is carried out, albeit in a time-based scheme.
Future plans
The regional authorities plan to complete the Kirovsky bridge in Samara before the end of this year. The photos taken at this site show that the movement on it is currently carried out according to a temporary scheme, since there are no access roads to this structure across the river.
But, nevertheless, the greater part of the bridge, equal to eight kilometers, runs from Kirov Avenue to the highway passing through Mykolayivka. In the future, he will have to let the drivers pass safely to the Samara bypass road.
At the end of the construction will require about four hundred million rubles. These funds have already received a new contractor, who will finish the construction work at this facility.
