Course of the road
|
The M3 ( Ukraina ) is a trunk road in Russia . It is part of the European route 101 .
The M3 leads from Oktoberplatz on Moscow's boulevard ring over Lenin Prospect in a south-westerly direction, crossing the Moscow ring road out of the city. It leads past Moscow 's Vnukowo Airport via Naro-Fominsk to Kaluga Oblast . From here it continues via Obninsk , past Kaluga , Brjansk and Lokot to the Ukrainian border at Chomutowka . Up to here the M3 is about 515 km long.
At the time of the Soviet Union , the M3 continued in the Ukrainian Soviet Republic past Konotop and Nischyn to Kipti , 92 km north of Kiev . The Ukrainian section today bears the number M 02 . At Kipti the M3 met the then M20 , now the Ukrainian M 01 . It thus linked Moscow and the capital of the Ukrainian SSR.
Plane crash
On December 29, 2012, a disaster with serious consequences occurred at the neighboring Moscow Vnukowo Airport . A Tupolev Tu-204-100 with aircraft registration RA-64047 took off from Pardubice Airport in the Czech Republic at 11:10 a.m. local time. When landing in Vnukowo on runway 19 at 16:33 local time, the machine did not come to a standstill, overshot the runway at high speed and crashed into the embankment of the adjacent M3 motorway. The aircraft broke in three parts and parts of the wreckage damaged cars passing by on the motorway. A video of the vehicle camera installed in one of the cars, which was published on YouTube , shows the impact. The pilot, the copilot, the flight engineer and a flight attendant were killed in the accident. Another flight attendant died a day later as a result of her injuries. Three other inmates were injured, some seriously.
