There have always been many problems with roads in Russia. The quality of the road surface with all the multimillion-dollar investments in repairs leaves much to be desired. Special requirements must be imposed on the highways of Moscow, because the capital represents the whole country.
Instruction manual
1
Repair requirements for Moscow roads have become more stringent. Now, the work of contractors will be checked immediately by three authorities. First, road repairs will be monitored by the city’s customer services, after which - experts from the laboratory of GKU "Expertavtodor". Traffic control center specialists complete the test.

If there is any marriage, the contractor will need to redo the entire plot or street in a short time. Asphalt must be completely replaced at the expense of the contractor. The company will not be allowed to do other work until it fixes the marriage properly. If the workers do not have time to complete the repair by the appointed time, the prefectures will stop cooperating with them and break all contracts, and another company will repair the defective area.

There will be no more patches on the roads, workers will begin to carry out high-quality comprehensive repairs. Alteration of 23-24 million square meters of roads will be carried out annually. It is necessary to allocate about 20-22 billion rubles for this. Now, new asphalt-bitumen mixes and a modern technique for laying asphalt are used. This will provide a warranty period for the work performed for three years.

The Moscow street road network wears out faster because the load on it is approximately 2.4 times higher than the standard. In this city, there can be 80-100 temperature transitions in a year through 0 degrees in one direction or another. Asphalt must withstand multiple freezing and thawing. Coverage in Moscow wears out and collapses faster than in the capital cities of Europe.

A large flow of cars also contributes to the destruction of asphalt. About 20 thousand cars pass by on the roads of Moscow every day - this is twice as high as the maximum normative load adopted all over the world. Moreover, most drivers use studded tires, which quickly renders the roadway unusable. Optimally it is necessary to carry out road repairs every three to five years.
