City Hall will allocate about $1.2 billion of not-yet-dispersed funds to road construction, an official said.
The money, which represents 84 percent of the 39.5 billion rubles ($1.4 billion) that remains unspent, will be used to build and repair major transportation arteries of the city, said Marina Ogloblina, head of the city’s department of economic policy and development.
"This includes a segment of the Fourth Ring Road, Komsomolsky Prospekt in Lyubertsy, rebuilding Bolshoi Akademichesky, an intersection of Dmitrovskoye Shosse, rebuilding Leningradsky Prospekt, and other major road projects," she said.
The selected sites are the most overloaded ones in the transportation network, according to a construction sector spokesman.
The following road construction will take place:
- An intersection where Profsoyuznaya Ulitsa meets Ulitsa Tyoply Stan and Novoyasenevsky Prospekt, including an underground pedestrian crossing.
- Rebuilding Bolshaya Akademicheskaya Ulitsa
- A double layer intersection where the Dmitrovskoye and Dolgoprudnenskoye shosses meet.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
