The M7 Volga ( Russian М7 "Волга" ) is a federal trunk road in Russia that connects Moscow to Ufa west of the Urals through the Volga region that gives it its name . Branch lines, which are also marked as M7, lead to Ivanovo and via Izhevsk to Perm .
General
The main route of the M7 begins as Gorkier Chaussee (Russian Gorkowskoje schosse, after the name of the city of Nizhny Novgorod between 1932 and 1990) at the Moscow motorway ring (MKAD) and runs in an easterly direction via Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan to Ufa. In 1990 the M7 only ran up to Kazan, later it was extended and is now part of the transcontinental road connection from Moscow to Vladivostok . A branch line branches off to Ivanovo at Vladimir , and another to Perm at Jelabuga , which has been part of the M7 since the 2000s.
Some sections of the M7 (for example near the city of Vladimir ) are part of a previously planned, but never completed, continuous road connection from Moscow to Beijing . This post- WWII project was discarded after relations between the People's Republic of China and the Soviet Union deteriorated significantly in the 1960s .
The main line to Yelabuga and the subsequent branch line to Perm is part of European route 22 , the rest of the main route to Ufa corresponds to European route 017 .
The most important structures are the bridges over the Klyazma (twice in the Vladimir Oblast ), the Oka in Nizhny Novgorod, over the Sura north of Jadrin , over the Swijaga and the Volga ( Kuibyshev reservoir ) in front of Kazan, over the Vyatka near Mamadysch . The Kama is crossed in the course of the main route over the dam of the Nizhnekamsk reservoir near Naberezhnye Chelny , as well as by the branch route to Perm shortly before its end point below Perm.
