New road in Volgograd links city center and Dolina microdistrict

A four-lane road has been launched on Rodnikovaya Street in the Sovetsky District of Volgograd. The opening ceremony was attended by Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation Nikita Stasishin, Governor of the Volgograd Region Andrey Bocharov, and Chairman of the Transport and Road Infrastructure Committee of the Volgograd Region Anatoly Vasilyev. The new highway connects the Dolina microdistrict developed by DARS company and Universitetsky Avenue.

All planned roadworks were completed on schedule. The new route is 1,441 meters (0.9 miles) long with a speed limit of up to 60 km/h (37 mph). At the intersection with Nikolaya Sarafanova Street, a roundabout interchange has been installed. Access roads with lowered curbs and sidewalks have been built to the adjacent houses. On both sides of the roadway, 2.25-meter (7.4-foot) wide sidewalks and a 3-meter (9.8-foot) wide green zone have been arranged. The road is equipped with a modern lighting system, traffic lights, bus stop pavilions, and storm sewers.

The opening of the road will significantly improve transport accessibility to the Dolina microdistrict.

«We thank the Volgograd administration for developing the city»s transport network and contributing to improving the quality of life of citizens. Now more than 40,000 residents will be able to get to work, schools, key points, and the city center faster and more conveniently. Travel time has been almost halved, and the launch of bus route No. 41a will allow us to redistribute passenger flow and reduce the load on existing highways. It is important for us that infrastructure is developed comprehensively and is created primarily for people—for their comfort and safety,« said Dmitry Sofronov, Commercial Director of DARS Group.

In 2025, the Dolina microdistrict celebrated its tenth anniversary. The project is positioned as an area of balanced development with well-thought-out infrastructure. More than 200 houses have been built, and another 27 are under construction. The project is planned until 2035, with the total housing area upon completion reaching 1.3 million m² (14 million ft²) on 414 hectares (1,023 acres). The microdistrict already has a school, three kindergartens, shops, cafes, fitness centers, and a 4-hectare (10-acre) park, and now a second school for 1,280 students, a children«s clinic, and a sports and recreation complex are under construction.
