Russian Railways (RZD) has received the first batch of rails from Evraz for the construction of the first high-speed railway (HSR) in Russia, Moscow - St. Petersburg.
The rails will be delivered to the laying site by special railway transport. As part of the first phase of the project, it is planned to use more than 160 thousand tons of rail products.
After the launch of the магистрали, the journey time between Moscow and St. Petersburg will be only 2 hours 15 minutes. This is almost twice as fast as it is now. The length of the railway will be 679 km and will pass through six regions of the country.
By 2030, passenger traffic between the two cities is expected to grow to 23 million people per year. In the future, it is planned to implement high-speed rail projects from Moscow to Yekaterinburg (via Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan), Minsk, Adler and Ryazan.
According to the decree of the Russian government, the design and construction of the Moscow - St. Petersburg high-speed railway is scheduled for 2024-2028, and commissioning is scheduled for 2028.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the welding of a new train for the Moscow - St. Petersburg HSR will begin in September 2025.
