Mayor Sergei Sobyanin offered assurances Tuesday that construction work on Leningradskoye Shosse would wrap up soon, providing some relief from the traffic jams that have clogged two main arteries running through northern Moscow.
"Progress on the roads is moving forward as quickly as possible," Sobyanin said at a City Hall meeting.
He said the stretch of Leningradskoye Shosse between the Sokol metro station and the Moscow Ring Road and the construction of an interchange on the MKAD would be completed "in a few months," Interfax reported.
But Sobyanin did not give a time frame for when an extensive overhaul on Dmitrovskoye Shosse might be complete, saying only that the finished road would be one of the most sophisticated in the city.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
