High-speed
transportation in Russia

The Development Programme envisages an increase in the length of rapid-transit and high-speed railway lines by 2030 to

11.7 thousand km

The development of rapid-transit and high-speed transportation is targeted in the Programme for the Development of Rapid-Transit and High-Speed Traffic on the Russian Railways Network until 2020 and the Railway Transportation Development Strategy in the Russian Federation until 2030.

The implementation of projects to develop rapid-transit and high-speed transportation makes it possible to satisfy growing public demand for passenger transportation, significantly reduce travel time and provide high-quality service.

Moscow-Kazan High-Speed Railway

In 2015–2016, the Government has decided
to allocate funds amounting to:

RUB 20,9 bln

The construction of the high-speed railway along the Moscow-Kazan route with an extension to Yekaterinburg is a pilot project for high-speed railways in Russia.

This project will meet the growing demand among Russian cities for passenger transportation, reduce passenger travel time and provide a qualitatively new level of service.

Moscow-Kazan High-Speed Railway

A number of measures were implemented in 2014 to prepare for the construction of the Moscow-Kazan High Speed Railway. In particular, an investment feasibility study of the project was prepared and approved by the Russian State Expert Evaluation Department. A technology and price audit of the project was conducted with leading international partners.

Special technical conditions were prepared and approved for the design, construction and operation of the high- speed railway. The Russian Government has decided to start developing design documentation and conducting engineering surveys and has allocated funds of RUB 20.9 bln in 2015–2016.

New Mansky Tunnel

On 26 August 2014, the grand opening of the new Mansky Tunnel took place on Krasnoyarsk Railways, one of the main facilities being built by Russian Railways to increase carrying capacity along the Mezhdurechensk-Tayshet route.

The opening of the tunnel along with the subsequent construction of a second track on the 15-km Lukashevich-Kravchenko stretch will increase the section’s carrying capacity from the current 27 train pairs to 42 pairs.

The opening of the tunnel along with the subsequent construction of a second track on the 15-km Lukashevich-Kravchenko stretch will increase the section’s carrying capacity from the current 27 train pairs to 42 pairs.

Total length of tunnel

2,465 m

The new Mansky Tunnel became the longest in the Krasnoyarsk Region and on Krasnoyarsk Railways (length of 2,465 m). It is located in the Partizansky District of the Krasnoyarsk Region on the 729 th km of the Mezhdurechensk-Tayshet mainline between the stations Lukashevich and Kravchenko. The tunnel runs under Argazinsky Pass in the Sayan Mountains on a route parallel to the old tunnel (59 m between them). It is impossible to organise train traffic on this section in any other manner without building a tunnel.

The new Mansky Tunnel makes it possible to eliminate infrastructural restrictions on one of the most challenging sections of the Mezhdurechensk-Tayshet mainline of the Southern part of Krasnoyarsk Railways.

Project of the century

40
years of the Baikal-Amur Mainline
Project of the century

The Baikal-Amur Mainline was designed as a key component of an integrated project to develop the significant natural resources of the regions through which the railway runs. The transportation position of the Far East Region, with its direct railway access to major ice-free ports on the Pacific Coast such as Vanino, Nakhodka, Nakhodka-Vostochny, Vladivostok and Posyet as well as land border crossings such as Grodekovo-Suifenhe and Hasan-Tumangan, combined with growth in Russia’s economy and foreign trade with Asia-Pacific Region countries, creates favourable conditions to support domestic and international transportation.

 
 
Total length

4300 km

Each year the Baikal-Amur Mainline will transport approximately

12 mln passengers

Development of the railway
infrastructure of the Moscow
Transport Hub

Moscow Transport Hub

Total planned funding and expenditures on the Moscow Transport Hub development project in 2012–2025

RUB 524.9 bln

Moscow Transport Hub

Russian Railways launched extensive work in 2012 to modernise and develop the railway infrastructure of the Moscow Transport Hub. Reinforcing the railway infrastructure of the Moscow Region was planned as part of the Railway Transportation Development Strategy in the Russian Federation until 2030. Preparations are currently under way to implement three projects:

  • the reconstruction of the Moscow Little Ring Railway;
  • the reconstruction of the Moscow-Kryukovo section with the construction of a fourth mainline;
  • the reconstruction of the Domodedovo (Aviation)-Domodedovo Airport section with the installation of additional mainlines.

The project ‘Reconstruction and development of the Moscow Little Ring Railway’ is being implemented as part of the development of railway infrastructure in the Moscow Transport Hub. Railway passenger transportation will be organised to ensure 100 electric trains run per day with intervals of less than 5 minutes during rush hour, which will enable more than 250 mln passengers to utilise the additional transportation interchange circuit per year.
