Digging Up Moscow's Downtown
Previous years have seen municipal workers dig up sidewalks to lay down new pavement, in often controversial moves, but three of the city's most famous streets are going through bigger changes than normal this year.
Maroseika and Pokrovka which head northeast from metro Kitai-Gorod, and Pyatnitskaya Ulitsa, across the river from the Kremlin, have been full of heavy machinery, busy workmen in orange outfits and lots of dust as roads have been closed off for major work.
The work also aims to beautify the streets. The facades of a hundred buildings around Maroseika and Pokrovka are being touched up. The city government has invested heavily in pedestrianizing or half-pedestrianizing streets in recent years and says it will create 50 kilometers of pedestrian streets this year alone.
All the works is supposed to finish by the end of August.
