But at the same time, some streets will be blocked – traffic along them will be limited in those sections where a convoy of military equipment will pass, but only in the evening and at night, so as not to interfere with city traffic.
Also, freight transport will be able to travel through Moscow without special passes within four days – from April 20 to 21 and from May 10 to 11.
“On April 20-21 and May 10-11, traffic will be blocked in a number of sections for the passage of an equipment column and for the parade to celebrate the 77th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War. On these dates, truck drivers will be able to move around Moscow without a pass,” the Moscow Ministry of Transport said in a statement.
The cancellation of passes is due to the fact that during the period of preparation for the celebration of the Great Victory and after the Victory Parade, traffic in the city will be difficult, and the decision taken will allow companies to buy food and goods. deliver in a timely manner.
“Nowadays, traffic in the restricted areas will be difficult. On behalf of the mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin, on these dates we will cancel the need to obtain passes for freight forwarders. We give two days in April and May so that truck drivers can choose a date that suits them. It is important to us that the company continues to ensure the timely delivery of food and goods for the residents of the city,” said Moscow Deputy Mayor Maxim Liksutov.
