M 2 Crimea map. See what "M2 (route)" is in other dictionaries. Highway M2, route Kursk - Belgorod

Ensuring quality transport communication in the direction Moscow - Crimea has long been a pressing issue. It acquired particular relevance after joining Crimean peninsula To Russian Federation. One of the main roads providing communication between Moscow and Simferopol is the M2 highway. Let's take a look at the history of this highway and learn about its pressing problems.

General characteristics

The M2 Crimea highway is part of the European highway E105 Kirkenes (Norway) - Yalta. It stretches from the Russian capital to the Nekhoteevka multilateral automobile checkpoint in the Kursk region on the Russian-Ukrainian border. It runs through the territories of five administrative units: Moscow region, Tula, Oryol, Kursk, Belgorod. Total length routes - 720 kilometers. From Moscow to Tula it is a high-speed highway with a length of 155 kilometers. Further, the route all the way to the Ukrainian border is an ordinary highway. There are six gas stations along the route. The average distance between them is 73 kilometers.

Coating quality

The M-2 Crimea highway has an asphalt concrete hard surface along its entire length. It seems to be of better quality on the high-speed section of the route from Moscow to Tula. The coating in the Belgorod region is also well preserved. But in the Kursk region the road has the most various defects. At the same time, constant pothole repairs of the road surface are taking place. The width of the roadway varies from eight to ten meters.

The quality of the coating can also be judged from the photos posted in this review.

Route history

The Crimean tract has been known since the Middle Ages. Initially, it began on the territory of the modern Dnepropetrovsk region in Ukraine and stretched to the peninsula. It was a trade route along which salt was imported from Crimea to the territory of Ukraine, and reverse direction- grain and some other products.

With the annexation of the Hetmanate to the Russian Tsardom, the trade route began to stretch all the way to Moscow. In the middle of the 19th century, a road was built that connected Moscow and Kharkov. Immediately in the post-war years, highway No. 4 Moscow - Simferopol was created, passing through Kharkov, which already had a hard asphalt surface.

Construction of the M2 highway

The idea of building a modern Moscow-Crimea highway arose with the Summer Olympics in 1980 in the Soviet Union. It was planned that this would be a high-speed analogue of the existing road. However, in many sections the new M2 highway is a reconstruction of the old highway. But by the beginning of the Olympics, it was only possible to build a section that passed through the territory of the Moscow region, and even then not completely. By 1983, the route was extended only to Serpukhov. At the same time, construction of the Trosna-Tula section began.

By the end of the 80s, most of the work on the reconstruction of the old highway was not yet completed. Since the beginning of the 90s, the project was largely curtailed, and reconstruction was carried out only from time to time, sporadically. The highway itself, which was planned to be built to Crimea, was only extended to Tula. It had a segment of 155 km.

The further fate of the route

With the liquidation of the Soviet Union, the M2 Moscow-Crimea highway lost its former transport and economic significance. In fact, it was divided between two states: Russia and Ukraine. In none of these countries was this direction of traffic a priority; the transport load was significantly reduced. In this regard, the Russian authorities paid more attention to the development of roads in the Volga region and Siberia. It was from the moment of the collapse of the USSR that the highway acquired its current name in the classification of Russian highways - the M2 “Crimea” highway.

During the 90s of the 20th century, virtually no work was carried out to reconstruct the road. By the end of the first decade of the 21st century, a 12-kilometer section had been reconstructed. Now the highway reached the intersection with the P-132 highway.

Prospects

In 2012, the administration of the Tula region announced that it intended to initiate further construction of the highway right up to the Ukrainian border. At present, we can say that the M-2 highway on the Moscow-Tula section has been completely reconstructed. Further repair of the highway is still in question. Actually, from Tula to the Ukrainian border and further across the territory of Ukraine, the highway is a road built in the post-war years.

It is planned that the M2 highway will become a toll highway in the near future. More precisely, they will charge a fee for travel along the section from the 21st to the 108th kilometer. This section of the highway, known as the Simferopol Highway, is entirely located in the Moscow region. It is planned to build twenty-one points where fares will be collected.

Currently, the fate of the route is largely connected with foreign policy issues. On the one hand, after the annexation of Crimea to Russia in 2014, the M2 highway began to be considered as a more promising direction. But on the other hand, the significantly worsened relations between Ukraine and Russia have led to the fact that the traffic flow on the highway has decreased significantly. Thus, the M2 highway as the main transport route when traveling to Crimea can only be considered after the normalization of relations with Ukraine.

Route

The M2 highway originates in Moscow, more precisely, at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road and the Warsaw Highway. Before the intersection with MMK, the road has 3 lanes in each direction. After MMK, the M2 highway narrows to two lanes. Then the highway crosses the "Big Concrete Road".

Then the route passes through the bridge on the Oka River, through the city of Serpukhov, and runs through the territory of the Tula region. At the 155th kilometer the highway ends and a regular highway goes to Tula, which is a section of the old Moscow-Simferopol highway. The highway itself goes around Tula from the west and ends at the intersection with the Kaluga - Ryazan road.

This is where the main highway ends, and further towards the border with Ukraine the Moscow-Crimea road is a regular route. After Tula, the path runs through the territory Oryol region, avoiding such big cities, like Orel and Mtsensk, and crosses the borders of the Kursk region. After the road goes around the city of Kursk, it runs through the territory of the Belgorod region, the administrative center of which, Belgorod, also remains aside. The end of the route is considered to be the state border of Russia and Ukraine, namely the Nekhoteevka multilateral automobile checkpoint.

Ukrainian section of the road

Although the Ukrainian section of the Moscow-Simferopol road is an actual continuation of the M2 highway, it officially bears a different name - M20. This road runs from the Ukrainian multilateral automobile checkpoint "Goptovka" to Kharkov. After this, the route takes the name M-29 and goes to Novomoskovsk in the Dnepropetrovsk region as an expressway. After this, the highway number changes to M-18, and it stretches to the borders of Crimea. On the territory of Crimea, the route goes through Simferopol to Yalta. According to the Ukrainian classification it is called 35A002, and according to the Russian classification it is called P20. It is in Yalta that the European highway E105 ends.

The M2 highway on the section from Moscow to Serpukhov is a modern highway without pedestrian crossings, intersections and level crossings. Here the road has two lanes in each direction and is equipped with a dividing strip (from 21 kilometers).

The road surface of the section of the M2 highway from Moscow to Serpukhov is not reproachable and is repaired quite often. Traffic jams are a natural phenomenon near our capital and in it; here you can’t live without them. You can take detours, but here, as they say, it depends on your luck.

The only thing I can advise is to drive up to Moscow late at night and leave it in the morning, preferably not on weekends. There are more than enough cameras, radars and traffic police patrol cars on the section of the road from Moscow to Serpukhov.

Professional medical care may be at 36, 51.74 kilometers of the road. Roadside service on this section of the M2 highway is excellently developed. Near the road there are cafes and restaurants, hotels and shops, gas stations, service stations and tire shops.

Road M2, route Serpukhov - Tula

From Serpukhov to Tula you need to drive 91 kilometers along the M2 “Crimea” highway. The road surface on this section is also quite good, although in the Tula region the road will already have one lane for each direction. A dividing strip has been installed up to 130 kilometers of the M2 highway. The section of road from 123 to 156 kilometers requires reconstruction (they promise to repair it in 2013).

At the moment, the most difficult part of the route is the bridge over the Oka River. This fall, repairs began here and the capacity of the route was reduced accordingly. It is in this place that traffic jams often accumulate now, which on weekends stretch up to 7-10 kilometers.

A detour around this section of the route is not rational due to the fact that the nearest bridge over the Oka River is not very close. The best way to avoid traffic jams is to cross the bridge at night. One good thing is that they promise to finish the renovation by the new year. Further, a traffic jam may lie in wait on the Tula bypass road, and many advise driving through the city (you can save time, and at the same time buy gingerbread).

You enter the city and follow the signs to Kaluzhskoe Highway and again to the M2 highway. In the opposite direction, you should enter Tula from the Kaluga Highway and return to the road to Moscow from the Moskovskoye Highway. Lighting is being actively installed along the entire length of the road (including interchanges) in the Tula region.

Drivers need to pay special attention to some sections of the M2 highway from Serpukhov to Tula, namely at the 136th kilometer, a sharp turn and at 137, 138, 140, 143, 147, 153, 163,173 kilometers, steep descents and ascents.

Medical care can only be obtained in large populated areas or at 167 and 190 kilometers of the road. There are a lot of traffic police officers on this section of the highway, as well as cameras and radars. There is a stationary post at 170 kilometers of the road.

In the Tula region, the traffic police jealously monitors the intersection of solid lines. You can often find a “no overtaking” sign on the side of the road on a stick dug into the ground, next to it there is a broken marking line, and further in the bushes the crew is in full readiness to grab the offender. The sign is displayed in dangerous places roads, but why the line is not continuous is a big question.

Be careful and don't break the rules traffic. Roadside service on this section of the M2 highway is not poorly developed. There will be no problems either with gas station or with places where you can eat or spend the night.

Route Moscow - Crimea, route Tula - Orel

From Tula to Orel you need to cover 190 kilometers along the M2 highway. In the Oryol region, the roads are also narrow, but with good road surface and many turns onto secondary roads. Under no circumstances overtake in the turning lane; chances are very high that you will encounter a traffic police crew standing after the intersection.

In addition, you should not overtake where there are prohibiting signs. The favorite place for traffic police officers to catch violators is 30 kilometers from Orel, where new asphalt has been laid, there are no markings and there is a sign prohibiting overtaking.

In addition, many note that traffic police crews can follow you for a long time, waiting for you to break the rules. In general, traffic police posts are located at 204, 293, 304, 333, kilometers of the M2 highway. There are medical aid stations at 210, 245, 248, 329, 365 kilometers of the road.

You should pay attention at the 268th kilometer of the road, where there is a sharp turn. This year, massive repairs and reconstructions have been carried out on the section of the road from Tula to Orel, and an overpass is being built across the railway tracks in the area of the city of Plavsk (261 kilometers). A common disease of the M2 highway can be called deep, unguarded and very shabby shoulders.

Although the roads are being repaired, the roadside is rarely patched; the Tula and Oryol regions are no exception. Be careful when pulling onto the side of the road, especially in dark time days. As for places to stay overnight and rest, they can also be found near this section of the M2 highway. There will be no problems with catering outlets and gas stations, although they are found here a little less often than, say, in the Moscow region.

Route Moscow - Simferopol, route Orel - Kursk

From Orel to Kursk you need to travel 160 kilometers. In the Oryol region the road surface is not bad, but in the Kursk region it is the worst part of the M2 highway in terms of road surface. Here the road is narrow, heavily rutted, with bumps and completely dead sides.

Overtaking on this section of the road is not easy. Many people call this part of the M2 highway “a trail with all sorts of defects.” However, this summer the road in the Kursk region was actively repaired, in some places in decent pieces, in others patching holes. The width of the M2 highway has not changed, but the roadsides have been straightened and widened in some places.

The bridge on the Kursk bypass is currently being actively repaired (there can be a traffic jam here; many people drive through the city to avoid it). In the Kursk region, it is not recommended to exceed the speed limit, since traffic police inspectors are very vigilant in this regard. Permanent posts can be found at 388, 407, 408,466 kilometers of the M2 highway.

Also in the Kursk region a large number of radars on tripods were noticed. Medical assistance can be found at 388, 437,516 kilometers of the M2 highway. Roadside service on the section of the route between Orel and Kursk is not poorly developed. There are hotels and cafes, shops and gas stations.

Highway M2, route Kursk - Belgorod

From Kursk to Belgorod the journey will take 140 kilometers. In the Kursk region, as mentioned above, the roads are mostly narrow, with high rutting, with pothole repairs and poor shoulders. Road services are trying to improve this, but every year this section of the highway still remains the most trafficked.

A particular road disgrace is located for about 30 kilometers, in the place where the M2 highway goes from the village of Medvenka to the city of Oboyan. The plans include repairs and reconstruction of these sections of the road, but all this will last until 2015.

The best and highest quality road surface is noted in the Belgorod region. In some places, the M2 highway has two lanes in one direction. In the Belgorod region, the traffic police also jealously monitor compliance with the speed limit. Stationary posts can be found at 568, 588,633 kilometers of the M2 highway.

Qualified medical care can be obtained at 590, 650, and 680 kilometers. Close to the M2 highway, there are plenty of places for snacks and overnight stays on this stretch. There are shops and gas stations.

Highway M2, section Belgorod - border with Ukraine

From Belgorod to Nekhoteevka (to the border with Ukraine) you need to drive 38 kilometers. The M2 highway here is simply gorgeous, it’s a pleasure to drive: new asphalt and two lanes in each direction. There is a first aid station at kilometer 690 of the road. A traffic jam may lie in wait near Nekhoteevka, which is associated with the passage of the border post and customs.

In the summer there are decent queues, as an option you can go through customs early in the morning or go to one of the nearest customs posts in Shebekino or Gaivoron. The downside of the Gaivoronsky customs point is a piece of bad road (20 kilometers) just across the border through the territory of Ukraine. There shouldn’t be any difficulties getting through the border and customs, especially if you prepare in advance.

Namely: collect the necessary package of documents, arrive on a weekday (preferably late at night). Remember, no one has the right to demand documents from you that are not included in the list of required documents for crossing the border.

Another piece of advice: on the territory of Ukraine, never give your documents to traffic police inspectors (Staff Police of Ukraine), you are not obliged to do this (you can show them through glass). When crossing the border during daylight hours, turn off your low beam headlights; this is how AIM fighters often identify foreigners.

Regarding the infrastructure of the M2 highway in the section from Belgorod to the border with Ukraine, it is well developed. There are hotels, cafes, gas stations and shops. There are also plenty of offices that provide assistance with customs clearance and paperwork. Experienced car travelers categorically do not recommend refueling at the Lukoilovskaya gas station in front of Nekhoteevka. It is better to use gas stations in the Oktyabrsky area.

They also plan to make the M2 Crimea highway a toll highway, but toll sections will appear no earlier than 2015. In conclusion, I want to say, do not break the traffic rules, stop for the night and lunch on time.

And as always, I ask you to leave comments about the state of the M2 highway, since only together we can make the information the most relevant and truthful.

Federal highway M2 "Crimea" - federal highway Moscow - Tula - Orel - Kursk - Belgorod - state border with Ukraine (with entrances to the historical and architectural complex "Odintsovo", Tula, Orel, Kursk, Belgorod).

The route is integral part European route E105. The length of the road is about 700 km.

The continuation of the route on the territory of Ukraine is the M-20 highway to Kharkov and M-18 Kharkov - Yalta (the section from the Crimean border to Yalta is considered by the Crimean authorities as regional road 35A-002).

Route

The M2 highway begins at the intersection of the Warsaw highway and then passes through the territory of the Moscow region east of the cities of Shcherbinka, Podolsk, and Klimovsk. Before the intersection with the road has four lanes in each direction and is fully lit. On the Podolsk bypass, the road has five lanes in each direction. Further, the highway narrows to three lanes in each direction, is fully illuminated, and bypasses Chekhov and Serpukhov near Moscow from the east. At km 83, the road crosses and narrows to two lanes in each direction. In the Moscow region, there is one traffic police post on the highway at the 100th km at the entrance to the bridge named after Podolsk cadets over the Oka River.
On this section of the road there is a duplicate road (the old Simferopol highway), passing to the west, through the mentioned cities. In them, on address signs of houses and road signs, it is listed as Simferopol Highway.
Further, the highway runs through the territory of the Tula region and has lighting up to the 156th km. The junction at km 155 intersects with the old M2. From here the main route to Tula continues along the usual two-three-lane road. The highway bypasses Tula from the west and ends at the intersection with the P132 Ryazan - Tula - Kaluga highway in the area of the settlements of Pomogalova and Zhirovka.
After the junction with the highway, the road goes around Tula from the west along a bypass road and crosses the P132 highway. Next, the route passes along the bypass on the western side of Shchekin. The settlements near the border of the Tula region Plavsk and Chern do not have bypass roads, and the M-2 highway passes through them.
Then the route goes through the territory of the Oryol region, bypassing the city of Mtsensk along the eastern bypass road. Before the entrance to the administrative center of the region there is a traffic police post equipped with a weighing platform. Further the road goes around Oryol on the eastern side. Most of the bypass around Oryol has a 60 km/h limit due to nearby large factories and a railway station. Here the route crosses the Oka River again. Next, the route follows a bypass on the western side of the village of Kromy. Near the village of Trosna it contains a branch of A142/E 391 to Zheleznogorsk and Kalinovka (further to Kyiv) and turns in a southerly direction. The village of Trosna does not have a bypass road.
Further, the route goes through the territory of the Kursk region, bypasses the city of Fatezh, bypasses the city of Kursk along a bypass road passing along the outskirts of the city, bypasses the city of Oboyan from the west.
Then the road goes through the territory of the Belgorod region in a south-eastern direction, east of the city The builder bypasses Belgorod along the bypass road from the west and then goes southwest through Streletskoye and ends as M2 on the state border with Ukraine.

History of the road

The route of the road is based on the ancient Crimean Highway. The section of the Moscow - Kharkov road was built in 1840-60. The road was completely reconstructed in 1946-50, receiving an asphalt concrete surface. Route Moscow - Kharkov - Simferopol in Soviet time until the mid-1980s it was number 4.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the road was divided into two parts belonging to different jurisdictions. The Russian section of the road from Moscow to the border with Ukraine received its current name and number. The economic and strategic importance of the road has decreased, traffic flow has decreased, which also affected the pace of its further reconstruction. Thus, during the 2000s, a small (12 km) section was reconstructed from the 155 km interchange to the intersection with the P132 highway, which was opened in the late 2000s. In March 2012, the authorities of the Tula region announced their intention to seek further construction and development of the highway.
In 2014, the highway from the border with the Moscow region to the turn to Tula was almost completely repaired with lighting installed throughout the entire section. Also in 2014, the bypass of the city of Orel was reconstructed with a fragmentary arrangement of additional lanes (at exits and interchanges) and lighting on them. Traffic lights were also installed at some junctions.
At the end of 2015, a major overhaul of the road section 603-620 km was completed (Belgorod region, interchange to Rakitnoye - turn to Verkhopenye). The roadway was widened to 4 lanes. A set of works was carried out to develop roadside infrastructure.
In 2017, work began on the section from 83 km to 95 km. The road will be widened to six lanes, with lighting installed. The repairs should be completed by November 2018, after which similar work will begin from km 95 to km 108.

3,8 (136 votes) M-2

Highway M-2 “Crimea” (Simferopol highway)- a federal road in Russia. It starts in Moscow, passes through the cities of Tula, Orel, Kursk, Belgorod and ends at the state border with Ukraine at the Nekhoteevka checkpoint.

The stationary traffic police post is located in the village of Inshinsky in the Leninsky district of the Tula region at 192 km of the highway.

The road is popular among tourists who want to relax in the summer on the Black Sea coast. For this reason, during the holiday season, the traffic on the highway increases greatly. The infrastructure is well developed. There are significant queues at the Nekhoteevka checkpoint in the summer.

When traveling behind the wheel, you need to make rest stops. Many drivers neglect this rule, often falling asleep at the wheel and causing accidents.

Along the way, the route crosses many bridges over rivers. Part of the road passes through hilly terrain, there are steep descents, ascents and sharp turns.

The cities: Tula, Mtsensk, Orel, Kursk and Belgorod have bypass roads, which it is advisable to use to avoid driving through an unfamiliar city.

The M-2 federal highway begins in Moscow and, passing through such large settlements, like Serpukhov, Tula, Orel, Kursk, Belgorod, ends at the international automobile checkpoint on the border with Ukraine. The length of the route is 720 km. The terrain along the route is hills and plains, some sections are laid through forests. Most large rivers along the route: Oka, Seversky Donets and Seym. M-2 is an integral part of the international highway E-105, which connects cold north and hot south (Arctic region and Crimea).

Road surface and traffic

Currently, the highway is largely unloaded, since the main traffic of cars on the way to Crimea goes along the M-4 Don highway. The track is covered with asphalt and concrete. The worst condition of the surface is in the Kursk region; there are many holes and areas of raised asphalt. At the initial section of the route and in the Belgorod region, the road can be considered almost ideal.

On the Moscow-Serpukhov and Serpukhov-Tula sections, traffic occurs in 4 lanes, then the road narrows to 2 lanes. On this moment The route is completely free, although the government plans to open several high-speed toll sections. There are few traffic jams along the route; traffic congestions are observed only in the Moscow region and in front of the international checkpoint on the border with Ukraine. Bypass roads have been built around regional centers and the city of Mtsensk.

The most active repair work is carried out in the Moscow and Tula regions. The highway is densely packed with video cameras and radars. When worsening weather conditions in the southern regions it is better not to pull over to the side of the road, as there is a high probability of stalling on local black soils.

Parking spaces

The first parking lot on the M-2 highway can be made already at 28 km, where the decent Rus-Hotel is located, equipped with a guarded parking lot. In addition, there is an ATM, free Wi-Fi and a restaurant. Car repair service and night club, sauna, shop, restaurant, can be found at the Ivanhoe Motel at 41 km of the highway.

An elite place for roadside recreation is the Grumant Hotel - 201 km (fishing, sauna, swimming pool, gym, SPA center, boating). Acceptable prices for comfortable rooms they offer at the VIKTOR motel - 207 km (guarded parking lot, gas station, bar, sauna). Just a little over 100 kilometers from Tula in the village of Chern there is the Bezhin Lug hotel, where you can spend the night in relative comfort, have dinner in a cafe and leave your car in the parking lot.

In the Oryol region you can stay overnight at the inexpensive Lyana motel - 382 km ( free parking, cafe, sauna).

The cheapest rooms on the highway can be found in the hotel "MPKKH" - 244 km, Plavsk (tire service, cafe) and motel "512 kilometer" (parking, cafe).

On the territory of the Kursk region there are stops at the Kursk Nightingale motel - 509 km (car service, restaurant) and the White Stork hotel - 529 km on the bypass around Kursk (parking, cafe). Here, on the bypass highway, is the Altair motel, which is different good conditions accommodation at national prices (parking, restaurant, bar, free Wi-Fi, payment terminals). Near the town of Fatezh (477 km) there is a hotel of the same name, where at an affordable price you can rent a comfortable room with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, TV and minibar. There is also paid guarded parking here. Breakfast is included in the price of the overnight stay, and the dishes on the menu are of good quality.

In the area of Oboyan (597 km) you can find two hotels at once: “Iceberg” (cheap rooms, free Wi-Fi, parking, sauna, cafe) and “Oboyan” (free Wi-Fi, guarded parking, cheap rooms).

Already in the Belgorod region you can stay overnight at the hotels “Russkoye Podvorye” - 650 km (parking lot, sauna, tavern) and "Yugo-Zapadnaya" - 679 km on the Belgorod bypass.

Gas stations

Basically, gas stations on the highway are located every 2-3 km. Small gaps in the location of these objects transport infrastructure available in the following areas:
Tula region– 123-136 km, 216-229 km, 249-264 km and 266-278 km;
Oryol region - 329-341 km and 400-436 km;
Kursk region - 467-478 km, 496-510 km, 544-566 km and 576-594 km;
Belgorod region - 607-622 km, 622-634 km, 648-664 km and 664-678 km.

The density of gas stations decreases as you move away from Moscow, but this does not pose any particular problems for drivers Vehicle with diesel and gasoline engines. Most often you can find gas stations Rosneft, Tatneft, Gazpromneft and Lukoil. Almost all of them are equipped with a telephone and a toilet.

Information for motorists

In the Oryol region there is a very dense location of traffic police posts, you should be careful when overtaking and not exceed the permitted speed. In the Kursk region, radars predominate. The bad reputation of the Oryol road guards forces drivers to use radar detectors.

Drivers should be careful in dangerous sections (136 and 268 km), where the highway makes sharp turns. Overtaking and speeding here are fraught with consequences.

It is also necessary to stop carefully and carefully on the sides of the road, since along the highway they leave much to be desired.

You can eat inexpensively and tasty in those establishments where truck drivers stop.

Sights of the M-2 “Crimea” highway

The most famous city The route is Tula. Many drivers do not bypass it, but drive straight through the city in search of delicious Tula gingerbread. There are many ancient churches in Tula, some of which were built before the Mongol-Tatar invasion. The city fortress of Tula will soon be 500 years old; it is an ancient stone Kremlin. Of course, the samovar museum is popular among visitors and those passing through in transit.

The route ends at the international checkpoint in the village. Nekhoteevka, where the border with Ukraine passes.
