Experts discuss the proposed KAD-2 ring road as a critical infrastructure project for St. Petersburg. Ilya Reznikov from the Labgrad company explains that the primary goal is to optimize transit traffic flows. The new road will draw inspiration from Moscow's Central Ring Road, which was designed to alleviate urban congestion.
Viktor Orlov from the Initiative Group for Transport Infrastructure Protection believes even the eastern half of KAD-2 will significantly improve regional transportation. The new road will redirect freight and passenger transport traveling between Moscow and northern regions like Karelia, Murmansk, and Arkhangelsk. It will help vehicles bypass St. Petersburg's city center, reducing pressure on existing infrastructure like the Bolshoy Obukhovsky Bridge and Murmansk Highway.
The project represents a strategic approach to managing increasing transportation demands and improving regional connectivity.
