The Primorskoje Kolzo ( Russian Приморское кольцо / "coastal ring") is a four-lane intersection-free road under construction in the north-west of the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast . He should at Kaliningrad begin and end and in the Baltic Sea - the coast in a wide arc around the Samländische peninsula run. The section from Kaliningrad to the vicinity of Svetlogorsk was completed by 2011 .
The road completed so far has the rank of a federal road and bears the number A 217. The official name of this road is currently Primorskoje polukolzo (ru. Приморское полукольцо / "coastal half-ring"). This road also includes junctions to Kaliningrad Airport near Khrabrovo , to Zelenogradsk , to Pionersky and to Svetlogorsk.
Construction project
At Primorskoye Kolzo, a project is being pursued that had already proven necessary in German times before 1945: to create an expressway between Kaliningrad and the Samland Baltic coast. Preparations began in 2006, and two years later construction began on the first construction phase from Kaliningrad to Kaliningrad Airport near Khrabrovo (Powunden) or to Zelenogradsk (Cranz) , with four asphalt pavement . In 2009 the first section with a length of 26.7 kilometers (plus the branch to the airport) was opened to traffic.
The construction of the second construction phase from Zelenogradsk to Svetlogorsk (Rauschen) began in 2010, and on November 29, 2011, it was opened to traffic with a length of 25.6 kilometers, with the personal participation of Russian President Dmitri Anatolyevich Medvedev .
The traffic can take place at a speed of 110 km / h. The money for this road transport project, the largest in the Kaliningrad region, comes from federal funds and is part of an investment program to improve the quality of the region on the external border with the European Union .
Course of the road
The ring road begins at the Kaliningrad city ring in the northeast of the Leningrad Rajon district and heads north . For the first few kilometers, it follows the route of the A 191 trunk road . South of Gorlowka (Bollgehnen) there is a direct road connection to Kaliningrad Airport near Khrabrovo (Powunden) . In its further course the road crosses the A 191, which now represents the feeder to the Baltic Sea resort of Zelenogradsk (Cranz) .
Now the coastal road takes a westerly direction . After a few kilometers, another access road to Zelenogradsk branches off at Sokolniki (Weischkitten) . North of Romanowo (Pobethen) a feeder connects the road with the Baltic Sea resort of Pionerski (Neukuhren) . The further course leads the Primorskoje Kolzo to Aralskoje (Alexwangen) , where it comes to its temporary end on the A 192 trunk road . A feeder takes road users to the Baltic seaside resort Swetlogorsk (Rauschen) .
The further course of the ring road is now planned in a southerly direction , with connections to Jantarny (Palmnicken) in the west and to the port cities of Primorsk (Fischhausen ) and Baltijsk (Pillau) in the south.
The Primorskoje Kolzo should continue to run in an easterly direction , with a feeder to the city of Swetly (room shack) . The road meets the A 193 highway on the border with the Kaliningrad district of Central Rajon . This is where the greatest challenge of the construction project is waiting to be realized: the crossing of the Kaliningrad Sea Canal (Russian: Kaliningradski morskoi kanal), either by means of a bridge that allows large seagoing ships to pass, or through a tunnel. The aim is to connect to the south-eastern part of the Kaliningrad district of the Moscow Rajon , probably to continue on the A 194 trunk road (former German Reichsstrasse 1 ) and the R 516 trunk road (formerly the Berlin – Königsberg “ Berlinka ” motorway ) and thus to the Kaliningrad city ring , in the northern part of which the Primorskoye Kolzo begins.
