By the end of the year, Minsk plans to open a new viaduct that will connect the Frunzensky and Central districts. It will allow direct travel from Kamennaya Gorka to Lebyazhy without making large detours through other streets. The project is about 95 % complete, Minsk‑News reports.

Construction has already entered the final stretch. The main bridge structures are finished, and workers are now working on the road surface, sidewalks, barriers, and lighting. Of the 24 planned lighting masts, only five remain to be installed.

By the end of November, the builders expect to finish the concrete and asphalt work. But immediately afterward, cars will not be allowed onto the bridge. First, the necessary documents must be processed, special sensors installed, and the structure’s strength tested with heavy equipment. The trials are scheduled for the first half of December.

If everything goes according to plan, traffic on the viaduct will open by the end of 2026.

The bridge itself turned out to be impressive: its length is 381 meters. Six lanes are provided for cars—three in each direction.

From Timiryazev Street, drivers will be able to exit the viaduct both toward the MKAD and toward the city center. From Koleshnikova Street, the exit is already connected to the existing road network, and traffic lights have been installed at the nearest intersection.

The new road is expected to reduce travel time between districts and partially relieve the MKAD. Moreover, the viaduct will become the first segment of Minsk’s future third transport ring.
