ABOUT COMPANY NEWS TECHNOLOGY MEDIA CONTACTS Renovation of Nevsky Prospect completed 28 Aug 2018 12:04:34 JSC "VAD" completed work on the current repair of Nevsky Prospekt in St. Petersburg. For the fourth time, since 1998, VAD has been entrusted with the repair of the main transport artery of the city. The traffic intensity on the central highway of St. Petersburg exceeds 15 thousand vehicles per day along the busiest lanes, which causes increased abrasive wear of the top layer of the pavement (rutting). The last current repair of the asphalt concrete pavement on Nevsky Prospekt was carried out in 2013 . In accordance with the state contract, repair work in 2018 was carried out in two stages: Stage 1 - Dvortsovy Proezd and a section of Nevsky Prospect from Admiralteisky Prospekt to Vosstaniya Square; implementation period - April-May 2018. The work was carried out as part of the preparation of the road network of St. Petersburg for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Stage 2 - the section from Vosstaniya Square to Alexander Nevsky Square; implementation period - August 2018. The specialists of JSC "VAD" replaced the asphalt concrete pavement of the roadway, replaced and adjusted the height position of the manholes of wells and carpets. For the leveling layer of the road surface, a special asphalt concrete mixture was developed. Its strength characteristics - water resistance, frost resistance, shear resistance - have been improved by adding a special modifying additive to the bitumen. To increase resistance to plastic deformation and abrasion, the top layer of the coating is made of crushed stone-mastic asphalt concrete (SHMA-20) on a polymer-bitumen binder (PBB 60). The total volume of asphalt concrete paving amounted to more than 36 thousand tons. The area of coverage with asphalt concrete is 119.6 thousand square meters. m. Over 100 units of road equipment and more than 220 people were involved in the repair of Nevsky Prospekt.
