The development of the first high-speed railway (HSR) in Russia, which will connect Moscow and St. Petersburg, includes laying a route through the Moscow, Tver, Novgorod, and Leningrad regions, as well as building an HSR station in Veliky Novgorod.
The project envisages 239 bridges and overpasses with a total length of 180 km. The longest overpass, at 14 km, will be built in the St. Petersburg area. For bridge crossings, 32-meter beams weighing 700 tons have been developed, which significantly exceeds the parameters of typical structures in road construction.
The Moscow — St. Petersburg HSR project assumes that there will be 16 stations on the line, 14 of which are passenger stations.
The construction of the HSR is associated with significant difficulties due to the complex terrain and geological conditions along the entire route. A particular problem is posed by areas with weak, swampy soils, requiring additional strengthening of the foundation. To solve this problem, it is planned to drive more than a million piles with a total length of about 12 thousand kilometers. The work involves over 7,000 specialists and more than 3,000 pieces of equipment.
The high-speed train will reach a maximum speed of up to 400 km/h on the HSR, which will allow reaching St. Petersburg from the capital in 2 hours and 15 minutes, Tver in 39 minutes, and Zelenograd in 14 minutes.
