The Central Ring Road (TsKAD) remains one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in Russia, and its 5th precinct - a key link connecting the Moscow and Kaluga regions. In 2026, active construction work continues here, the introduction of new interchanges and adjustments to routes, which directly affects logistics, travel time and even the cost of real estate in the surrounding areas. If you regularly travel TsKAD-5 or planning a route through this section, it's important to stay up to date with the latest changes, from new exit openings to temporary restrictions.

In this article we have collected exclusive data as of June 2026, including official walkthrough diagrams, up-to-date delivery dates and tips on how to minimize delays. We will pay special attention problem areas (for example, junction with Kyiv highway), where congestion most often occurs, and legal aspects: fines for violating temporary signs and rules for driving on service roads. The material will be useful to both truckers and car owners who want to avoid hour-long traffic jams on the approaches to Moscow.

1. Latest news on the Central Ring Road-5 for June 2026: what has already been built and what has not yet been built

According to GC "Avtodor" and the press service of the Moscow region government, today readiness of the 5th section of the Central Ring Road is 87%. Key milestones for 2026:

  • 🚧 April 2026: traffic is opened on the new overpass through Railway line Moscow-Kyiv (resolved bottleneck at the station Bekasovo-Sortirovochnoe).
  • 🌉 May 2026: decoupling with A101 (Great Moscow Ring) - now you can go to TsKAD-5 bypassing Narofominskoe highway.
  • ⚠️ June 2026: exit is temporarily closed Troitsk due to reconstruction of the bridge across the river Desna (works up to August 15).
  • 📅 Plans for July: promised to open the site from Voronovskoye village up to Aprelevki (there is currently a detour on local roads).

The hottest spot for today is construction of a transport interchange with Kievskoye Highway (M3). Here, round-the-clock work is underway to install the overpass supports, which leads to a narrowing of the lanes to 2+1 (instead of standard 3+3). According to the contractor, Mostootryad-11 LLC, the delivery of the object has been postponed from June to September 2026 due to delays in the delivery of metal structures.

2. Official diagram of the 5th section of the Central Ring Road with detours and time restrictions

Below is an updated diagram TsKAD-5 taking into account current road works. Red closed areas are marked, green - open conventions, yellow - zones with speed limits up to 60 km/h.

Key changes to the diagram:

  • 🚗 Detour through Troitsk: due to the closure of the bridge across Desna recommended route for Kaluzhskoe highway → Oktyabrskaya street → return exit to the Central Ring Road via the Voronovskoye interchange.
  • 🚛 Truck restrictions: in the area from Aprelevki up to Naro-Fominsk there is a ban on traffic above 12 tons (except for permitted transportation).
  • 🔄 Temporary traffic lights: installed at the exits to village of Pervomaisky and village of Kiselevo (work in mode 2 minutes green / 1 minute red).
Plot Current status Limitations Planned opening date
Interchange with Kyiv highway (M3) Narrowing to 2+1 lanes Speed 60 km/h, prohibition of overtaking September 2026
Bridge over the river Desna (exit to Troitsk) Closed for renovation Detour on local roads August 15, 2026
Plot Voronovskoe - Aprelevka Opened in test mode Traffic for passenger vehicles only July 2026 (full)
Interchange with A101 (Big Ring) Open Height limit 4.5 m —
💡

If you are traveling from Moscow to Kaluga, the optimal route for June 2026: MKAD → TsKAD-3 → exit to A101 → bypass of Naro-Fominsk on local roads. This will add ~15 minutes, but will avoid traffic jams on the Kiev highway.

3. Fines and rules for traveling along the Central Ring Road-5 in 2026: what has changed

4. Alternative routes: how to avoid traffic jams on the Central Ring Road-5

If you encounter a traffic jam on 5th section of the Central Ring Road, here 3 tested bypasses, relevant for the summer of 2026. All routes have been tested taking into account current road works:

  1. Detour through Naro-Fominsk (towards Kaluga):

    Take the exit at the junction "Aprelevka" → further on Naro-Fominsk highway → bypass the city along Marshal Zhukov street → departure to Kyiv highway (M3) through Selyatino village.

    Travel time: +20 minutes to the standard route, but without traffic jams.

  2. Detour through Troitsk (when the bridge over the Desna is closed):

    Use Kaluzhskoe highway → Oktyabrskaya street → Letchika Gritsevets street → further on Trinity Highway before leaving for Central Ring Road in the area Voronovsky.

    Attention: there is a restriction in this area 3.5 m in height (bridge over r. Pakhra).

  3. Detour via A101 (for trucks):

    If you are prohibited from traveling through TsKAD-5 due to weight, use Great Moscow Ring (A101) → exit to Simferopol highway → further on Warsaw highway up to MKAD.

    Minus: paid section A101 (tariff for trucks - 6 rub/km).

5. Impact of the construction of the Central Ring Road-5 on real estate and business in the region

Construction 5th section of the Central Ring Road has already had a noticeable impact on the economy of the surrounding areas. According to Analytical Center for the Government of the Moscow Region, for the last year:

  • 📈 Rising real estate prices: in Naro-Fominsk and Troitsk the cost of land for individual housing construction increased by 28%, and warehouse rental - at 40%.
  • 🏭 New logistics hubs: 3 large class warehouses opened A (including Wildberries and Ozon) in the area of the junction with A101.
  • 🚜 Agriculture: farms in Kaluga region complain about the reduction of arable land due to the expansion of road infrastructure (compensations are paid at the rate 150 thousand rubles/ha).

Experts predict that after full reopening TsKAD-5 (approximately - end of 2026) the time of delivery of goods from Moscow to Kaluga will be reduced by 1.5–2 hours, and the flow of transit transport through Naro-Fominsk will decrease by 30%. This will make the area more attractive to live in, but may lead to an increase in transport taxes for local residents.

💡

Investments in real estate near the Central Ring Road-5 can pay off in 3-5 years due to increased demand for rental of commercial space. However, the risks are associated with noise and ecology - the level of air pollution in the roadside area exceeds the maximum permissible concentration for NO₂ by 15–20%.

6. Frequently asked questions and problems on the Central Ring Road-5: debriefing

Even experienced drivers face difficulties on 5th section of the Central Ring Road. We have collected TOP-5 problems and ways to solve them:

  1. Traffic jams at the exit from Kievskoye Highway (M3):

    Reason: narrowing to 2 lanes due to construction of an overpass.

    Solution: use the exit to Aprelevka 5 km before the traffic jam, then follow local roads.

  2. Closed gas stations:

    Reason: nearest gas stations (Rosneft and Tatneft) dismantled to expand the lanes.

    Solution: refuel at 38th km of MKAD (gas station Gazpromneft) or 61st km of Kyiv highway (Lukoil).

  3. Navigator errors:

    Reason: Yandex.Navigator and Google Maps New restrictions are not always taken into account.

    Solution: turn on the mode "Avoid toll roads" - this will force the algorithm to look for bypasses.

Why are there so many potholes on TsKAD-5?

The reason is construction technologies: used in this area asphalt concrete with polymer additives, which wears out faster under heavy trucks. According to GC "Avtodor", a full repair of the coating is planned for 2026, in the meantime, the holes are patched with temporary "cold" mixtures, which last up to 6 months.

🚗 When will the 5th section of the Central Ring Road be fully opened?

Official due date 5th precinct — December 2026. However, the outcome with Kyiv highway (M3) will be completed only by September 2026, and the bridge across Desna will open August 15, 2026.
