Mozhayskoye Shosse (Moscow)

The highway is named after the ancient Mozhaisk road leading to the city of Mozhaisk , which from the 13th century guarded the western approaches to Moscow ^[2] .

Mozhayskoe highway existed as a historical road from Moscow to the west since the 15th century . From the middle of the 18th century it began from the Dorogomilovskaya outpost of the Kamer-Kollezhsky shaft . In the second half of the 19th century , the highway was named. In 1925, the city ​​of Kuntsevo was formed, for which the highway became both the main street and the road connecting with Moscow.

During World War II, the Mozhayskoye Highway was the most important transport artery of the Western Front. In the postwar years (especially after the inclusion of the territory into Moscow in August 1960 ), mass development of territories adjacent to the highway - Kuntsevo and Setuni - was carried out.

In 1957, part of the highway from Dorogomilovskaya Zastava Square to the current Victory Square became part of Kutuzovsky Prospekt .

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the highway was straightened and expanded to a 4-lane on both sides of the section from Kremenchugskaya Street to the Moscow Ring Road, a section of the old highway is currently preserved between Vitebskaya and Vyazemskaya Streets.

In 1976, part of the highway from Victory Square to Aminievsky Highway was renamed Marshal Grechko Avenue , which in 1992 became part of Kutuzovsky Avenue .

As a result of the administrative reform of 1991, the entire highway was included in the territory of the Mozhaisky municipal district (later the Mozhaisky district), giving it a name and becoming the main transport route.

The highway is a continuation of Kutuzovsky Prospekt , runs from the intersection of Rublevsky and Aminievsky Highways to the Moscow Ring Road . Streets adjoin the north: Bagritsky , Gvardeiskaya , Grishina , Kutuzova , Kubinka , Tolbukhin , Govorov and Barvikhinskaya ; from the south of the street: Veresaev , Bagritsky , Peter Alekseev , Ryabinovaya , Vitebskaya and Vyazemskaya ; Zagorsky passage , 2nd lane of Peter Alekseev .

The streets of Kubinka , Tolbukhina , Vyazemskaya and Vitebskaya will be part of one of the largest highways of Moscow - the North-Western Chord . In the process of creating 4 (southern) sections of the route, construction of new tunnels under the Mozhaisk highway is planned:

• between Kubinka and Vitebskaya streets;
• between Tolbukhin and Vyazemskaya streets.

In connection with the construction of a highway overpass along the Mozhayskoye Highway from MKAD to Peter Alekseev Street , underground passages from Kubinka Street to Vitebskaya Street and from Tolbukhin Street to Vyazemskaya Street were eliminated ^[3] . After the reconstruction, traffic along the Mozhayskoye Highway became non-traffic ^[4] , except for the understudies of the Mozhaiskoye Highway, where ground urban public transport and the bridge on the Aminievskoye Highway move where traffic police officers block the route for VIP motorcades - there are traffic lights there.

Ground transportation

From June 13, 1926, the bus route No. 2 ( Kursky Station - Kuntsevo ) ^[7] began to go along the modern highway of the Mozhayskoye Highway ^[7] , extended from 1928 to the Setun village. The route went to Setun up to 1941 (and also in the spring of 1942) ^[7] .

Some time after the war routes 45 and 67 were laid (then 267, later 567, now 867). Route No. 45 partially repeated the route of canceled No. 2 and passed from Setun platform along Tolbukhin Street , Mozhayskoye Shosse and Kutuzovsky Prospekt to Kievsky Station ^[8] . During the citywide campaign for the reorganization of public transport routes, the bus route No. 45k was launched in the late 1980s and it began to go to the Kuntsevskaya metro station, and the main route was canceled in 1992, however, in the same 1992, 45k was renumbered 45. The historical route was restored on October 1, 2010 under the new number 840 ^[9] .
