federal highway M-2 starts in Moscow and, passing through such large settlements as 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 major rivers along the route: Oka, Seversky Donets and Seim. M-2 is an integral part of the international highway E-105, which connects cold north and hot south (Arctic and Crimea).

Road surface and traffic

Currently, the route is largely unloaded, since the main traffic on the way to the Crimea goes along the M-4 Don highway. The track is covered with asphalt and concrete. The worst condition of the pavement is in the Kursk region, there are many pits and areas of raised asphalt. On the initial segment 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 track is completely free, although the government plans to open several high-speed toll sections. There are few traffic jams along the route, traffic congestion is noted only in the Moscow region and in front of the checkpoint on the border with Ukraine. Bypass roads are laid around the regional centers and the city of Mtsensk.

The most active repair work is carried out on the territory of the Moscow and Tula regions. The highway is densely stuffed with video cameras and radars. When worsening weather conditions V 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 soil.

Parking spaces

The first stop on the M-2 highway can be made already at 28 km, where there is a decent Rus-Hotel equipped with a guarded parking lot. In addition, you can find an ATM, free Wi-Fi and a restaurant there. car repair service and night club, sauna, shop, restaurant, can be found in 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). Reasonable prices for comfortable rooms are offered at the motel VIKTOR - 207 km (guarded parking, gas station, bar, sauna). Just over 100 kilometers from Tula in the village of Chern is the hotel "Bezhin Lug", where you can spend the night with relative comfort, have dinner in a cafe and leave the 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 MPPKH hotel - 244 km, Plavsk (tire service, cafe) and the 512 kilometer motel (parking, cafe).

On the territory of the Kursk region there are stops at the motel "Kursky Nightingale" - 509 km (car service, restaurant) and the hotel "White Aist" - 529 km on the bypass around Kursk (parking, cafe). Here, on the bypass road, there is the Altair motel, which is distinguished by good living conditions at popular 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 you can rent a comfortable room with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, TV and minibar at an affordable price. There is also paid guarded parking. Breakfast is included in the price of the night, 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 for the night in the hotels "Russian Compound" - 650 km (parking, sauna, tavern) and "South-West" - 679 km on the Belgorod bypass.

Gas stations

Basically, gas stations on the highway are located every 2-3 km. There are small gaps in the location of these transport infrastructure facilities in the following sections:
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 filling stations decreases with distance from Moscow, but this does not present any particular problems for drivers Vehicle with diesel and petrol 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 with overtaking and not exceed the allowed 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 on dangerous sections (136 and 268 km), where the track makes sharp turns. Overtaking and speeding here are fraught with consequences.

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

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

Sights of the highway M-2 "Crimea"

The most famous city along the route is Tula. Many drivers do not drive around 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 turn 500 years old; it is an old stone Kremlin. Of course, among visitors and transiters, the museum of samovars is popular.

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

Ensuring high-quality transport communication in the direction of Moscow - Crimea has been an urgent issue for a long time. 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 find out about its pressing problems.

General characteristics

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

Coating quality

The highway M-2 "Crimea" throughout its length has an asphalt concrete hard surface. It seems to be of better quality on the high-speed section of the route from Moscow to Tula. The covering in the Belgorod region is also well preserved. But on the territory of the Kursk region, the road has the most various defects. At the same time, there is a constant patching of the road surface. The width of the carriageway varies from eight to ten meters.

The quality of the coating can also be judged by 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 Dnipropetrovsk region in Ukraine and stretched to the peninsula. It was a trade road, along which salt was imported from the Crimea to the territory of Ukraine, and in the opposite direction - grain and some other products.

With the accession of the Hetmanate to the Russian kingdom, the trade route began to stretch to Moscow itself. 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 highway Moscow - Crimea arose with the holding of the Summer Olympics in 1980 in the Soviet Union. It was planned that this would be a high-speed analogue of an existing road. However, in many areas 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 segment 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, the construction of the Trosna-Tula section began.

By the end of the 80s, most of the work on the reconstruction of the old route was not yet completed. Since the beginning of the 90s, the project has been largely curtailed, and the reconstruction was carried out only from time to time, episodically. Actually the motorway, which was planned to be built to the Crimea, was brought only to Tula. She had a segment of 155 km.

The further fate of the track

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, this direction of traffic was a priority, the traffic 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 XX century, in fact, no work on the reconstruction of the road was carried out. By the end of the first decade of the 21st century, a 12 km long section was reconstructed. Now the motorway reached the intersection with the R-132.

prospects

In 2012, the administration of the Tula region announced that it intended to initiate further construction of the highway up to the Ukrainian border. At present, we can say that the M-2 highway in 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 in the near future the M2 highway will become paid. Rather, they will charge for travel on the site from the 21st to the 108th kilometer. This section of the highway, known as the Simferopol highway, is located entirely on the territory of the Moscow region. It is planned to build twenty-one points where tolls will be collected.

At present, 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 seen as a more promising direction. But on the other hand, the significantly worsened relations between Ukraine and Russia have affected the fact that the traffic flow along the highway has significantly decreased. Thus, the M2 highway as the main transport direction when traveling to the Crimea can be considered only 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 traffic lanes in each direction. After MMK, the M2 highway narrows to two lanes. Then the highway crosses the "Big concrete".

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

At this point, the main highway ends, and further towards the border with Ukraine, the Moscow-Crimea road is an ordinary highway. After Tula, the path runs through the territory of the Oryol region, bypassing 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 on the sidelines. The end of the route is the state border of Russia and Ukraine, namely the multilateral automobile checkpoint "Nekhoteevka".

Ukrainian section of the road

Although the Ukrainian section of the Moscow-Simferopol road is the 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 that, the route takes the name M-29 and goes to Novomoskovsk in the Dnipropetrovsk region as a high-speed road. After that, 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 - P20. It is in Yalta that the European route E105 ends.

The road is completely asphalt pavement. Has 1 to 4 lanes in each direction. The section between Moscow and Tula has the status of a motorway throughout the entire journey, with a speed limit of 110 km/h. After Tula, the route turns into a regular road with a speed limit of 90 km/h. All major cities encountered have bypass roads. The usual time for passing the segment from Moscow to Kursk is from 6.5 to 10 hours in solo mode. The segment between Moscow and Tula takes 2 hours.

Departures from cities

Driving in the direction from Moscow to Tula

• 22km

The position for the exit to the south is located immediately after the exit from the Moscow Ring Road. To get there, just get off at the Anino metro station and go south for about 1.8 km. Despite the fact that the Moscow Ring Road is visible from the position with the naked eye, the road metric immediately reports that you are at 22 km of the M2 highway.

The width of the curb does not allow a problem-free stop of transport. There is simply no place to stop main haul trucks weighing more than 12 tons. The maximum that I myself managed to stop there was Lawn Next with a mass of up to 5 tons. The problem is exacerbated by the presence of 4 lanes for traffic and flow speeds of about 80-100 km / h. It is optimal to go no closer than Serpukhov.

• 42km

On the section from 22 km M2 to the first turn towards Klimovsk, the road has an understudy, which is separated from the main route by a blind barrier. In no case is it recommended to get to this piece of terrain, because you can get stuck for a very long time. After 42 km, there is no more double.

• 97km Turn towards Serpukhov

In order not to find yourself in a situation where you pulled to the last, and the driver is already turning towards Serpukhov, I would recommend that you go to the gas station 1 km before turning into the city. The position for the stop there is quite adequate, there is an accelerating pocket with gas stations that can be used to stop.

• 156 km turn onto the short bypass Tula

If the driver is going to Kaluga or Tula itself, he would recommend getting off at this position and catching the next car that would go further than Tula. I draw your attention to the fact that Tula has two bypass roads. The long route bypasses the city in a larger arc and adjoins the short bypass road M2 for 195 km. If you need to go to Tula itself, then you need to move along a short road. To get on a short road, at 156 km, you need to make a right turn, with a stop at the overpass. A long bypass goes around the city to the east, and adjoins the R-132 road, which links Kaluga and Ryazan. By itself, the R-132 road is financed from the regional budget, and the presence of a wide shoulder (as well as a good position) on it is rare. If your driver is going to Kaluga, he did not advise you to delay with him to the last, it is better to go to 156 km of the M2 highway

Movement in the direction from Tula to Orel

• 195 km fork: Tula-Moscow-Kaluga-Ryazan

When driving along the highway from south to north, if the driver is taking you to the fork, it is optimal to stop after it in order to cut off those who are traveling in the direction of Kaluga and Ryazan. When moving from North to South, it is optimal to stop in front of the traffic police post - a landmark monument in the form of a motorcycle. In bad weather conditions, or at night, it is optimal to go out here, since the next position, where there will be good lighting and low flow speed, will be only at 357 km of the M2 highway

• 232 km fork: M2-M4

In the interval between the villages of Lopatkovo and Lukino there is a fork leading to the M4. If you don't want to study exits on the M4, you can use this option (theoretically). In the very place where the fork is located, the position is so-so. It is better to walk 700 meters to Luchino. Immediately after the beginning of the settlement, there will be a convenient pocket on the right in the form of a hitchhiking stop. This is your position. In Lopatkovo itself, when moving from Moscow to the south, there will be a good cafe on the right side, both in terms of the number of dishes and prices. The only drawback is that the number of tables is not large, and there is a risk that all the seats will be occupied.

• 244 km Plavsk

If the driver is going to this city, then I strongly would not recommend dragging him to the last, because the city is built in a hilly area and has a large extent. When driving from north to south, there are no positions for hitchhiking at all. When moving from south to north, there are "ersatz positions" located on the rise. It is best to leave somewhere before the city. Not a very bad position in front of the city (when moving from north to south) - near the Mound of Glory.

• 284 km Chern

The city is even longer than the previous Plavsk, but the terrain is not so hilly, and positions meet in both directions. There is a shop like "pyaterochka" (visible from the road).

• 293 km tavern

In the village of Medvezhka there is a cafe "Tula-50". In which the widest selection of dishes on the M2 highway and quite reasonable prices. Opening hours from 9 to 22.00 (information regarding the opening hours could be out of date). If your driver is there for the first time, then do not advise him to drive up to the cafe itself, especially in the off-season. There is no asphalt near the establishment, and after rain the area turns into a swamp.

• 305 km tavern

Immediately after Mtsensk (when moving from South to North) on the right side of the road there will be another good cafe, but a rank lower than 293 km. Plus, it's open 24/7. When driving from north to south, the position near the turn to Mtsensk will be worse than when you are traveling from south to north.

• 354 km traffic police post

If your driver is going to the city of Oryol, then he recommended to get out right here and catch the car after 30 meters from the traffic police post - stopping is prohibited before the sign. The flow in that place moves very slowly, and the drivers have enough time to "study" you. If the stopped driver goes to one of these places: Voronezh, Lipetsk, Novosil, Bryansk and any other place is shorter than the bypass of the city of Orel, then it is better to refuse the trip. The bypass itself has a length of 27 km and it must be strictly passed by one car. At the most bypass position, they are not often found.

Driving in the direction from Orel to Kursk

• 381 km end of Orla bypass

When driving from north to south - go 700 meters south to the nearest gas station - the position there is almost ideal, except that a yellow stripe on the right will scare away part of the flow. In the summer of 2017, a solid fender was installed opposite the cafe, and the area next to the catering points became unsuitable for stopping anyone. However, when driving from south to north, if your previous driver was driving to the city of Orel or, for example, Bryansk, and offered to drop you off next to a cafe near the city, do not agree, because "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." The flow of traffic that travels to Oryol will interfere, and will not allow the gaze of those who travel past the city to watch you. If you stop right next to the cafe, then there is a risk of getting stuck for a long time. it is optimal to go north for 1.7 km until the bypass begins to fork, the road has a slight downward slope, and the hike will not be difficult. In this case, the stream next to the city of Oryol will no longer "get under your feet".

• 436 km fork M2-Zheleznogorsk

If your driver is going to Zheleznogorsk, then you have 3 options. The first and easiest one is to get off in the village of Zhernovets. In the village itself, there is both a position for hitchhiking and a hotel (the position is located right next to the hotel). The second is to go straight at the fork to Zheleznogorsk. After that, you will have to walk 1 km to the end of the ascent. There, the position is almost suitable for hitchhiking, except that there is a slight slope of the terrain, which can scare away some of the loaded cars. "Small" is about 6 degrees (estimate by eye), but keep in mind that at night the rise is not illuminated. The problem is aggravated by the fact that before the turn to Zheleznogorsk there is a descent on which the cars accelerate to significant speeds, and at the end of the ascent they will no longer stop and will not be happy to pick you up. Therefore, in general, the position is suitable for hitchhiking by 3 points out of 5. The third option is to walk 3.5 km from the turn to Zheleznogorsk to the village of Trosna, there is lighting in the village of Trosna itself.

If the driver offers to drop you a little further than the village of Zhernovets, in the village of Nizhnee Mukhanovo (which will be 7 km closer to the fork), then do not agree! Lower Mukhanovo is located in a hilly area, and you will have to stop on the rise, which will make it difficult for anyone to stop

• 440 km Trosna

When driving from south to north, at the end of the village, just after the last pedestrian crossing, there is an ideal position for stopping everything that is possible, at night it is illuminated. When moving from north to south, the position will be immediately after turning left, after entering the village.

• 480 km Fatezh village bypass

The terrain is hilly, there is a bump stop on each side of the road, which complicates hitchhiking. When moving in any direction, I strongly did not recommend getting into the bypass section, due to the very small number of positions.

• 516 km traffic police post at the entrance to Kursk

If you and the driver need to go to Kursk, then it is best to get out not here, but after 6 km - in the place where the bypass road crosses the street. 50 years of October, since the final stop of the route transport is just on the bypass road.

When driving from South to North, the best place for hitchhiking any type of transport is 1.2 km from the post - you will see a bus stop on the right side and a convenient parking lot.

At night, this area is not illuminated, it is best to stop or 300 meters earlier - there is light from the gas station. But keep in mind that the terrain in this place is such that when the main tractor stops, it will block part of the passing lane with its body, which will surely scare away heavy truck drivers. Also, after 2 km in the direction of travel there will be the village of V. Medveditsa in which the road is fully electrified, and there are positions there

Federal highway M2 "Crimea" (Simferopol highway) is a federal highway.

Moscow - Tula - Orel - Kursk - Belgorod - the state border with Ukraine. It is part of the European route E 105.

The original version of the highway as a route was put into operation in 1950.

On the territory of Ukraine, the road continues, and goes through Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, and ends in Simferopol or Sevastopol.

Usually the route is used by vacationers from Moscow and other cities to get to South Shore Crimea.

The length of the motorway is 720 kilometers.
The width of the highway M-2 "Crimea" is 8-10 meters.

Passes through the territory of Moscow, Tula, Oryol, Kursk and Belgorod regions.

Highway "Crimea" has detours major cities: Tula (48 km), Mtsensk (24 km), Orel (26 km), Kursk (28 km), Belgorod (24 km).

The road passes through hilly, rough terrain. A number of areas require increased driver attention:
- with steep descents and ascents
- with sharp turns.

The road crosses significant rivers: the Oka (near the town of Serpukhov), the Ulu (near the town of Tula), the Plav (near the town of Plavok), the Zusha (near the town of Mtsensk), the Oka (near the town of Orel), the Seim (near the town of Kursk), Seversky Donets (near Belgorod).
Bridges over water barriers with a length of more than 50 meters have a carrying capacity of 60-80 tons.

Route

The M2 motorway starts at the intersection of Varshavskoe highway and the Moscow Ring Road, then passes through the territory of the Moscow region east of the cities of Shcherbinka, Podolsk, Klimovsk, Chekhov, Serpukhov in the form of a modern highway without intersections, pedestrian crossings and railway crossings at the same level, at least 2 lanes in each direction with a dividing line.

Further, the motorway goes through the territory of the Tula region, bypasses Tula from the west and, as the motorway, ends at the intersection with the P132 Tula-Kaluga highway in the area settlements Pomogalovo, Zhirovka, turning into the usual 2-3-lane road.

Further, the road goes through the territory of the Oryol region, each bypassing the cities of Mtsensk and Oryol on its eastern side and the town. Chrome from the western. Next at the The trosna contains the A142/E 391 branch to Zheleznogorsk and Kalinovka (further on to Kyiv) and turns south.
