A113 CKAD Federal Highway, Ring road in Moscow Oblast, Russia
The A113 CKAD Federal Highway is a toll motorway that forms a roughly 525-kilometer loop around Moscow, linking towns and districts across Moscow Oblast. The route operates as a controlled-access road with multiple lanes and connects to regional and national road networks through dozens of interchanges.
The highway was built in recent years to address growing congestion on federal roads surrounding the capital. Construction took place in stages, aiming to divert through traffic away from inner Moscow ring roads.
The highway system reflects Russian engineering practices through its integrated design of 278 bridges and overpasses spanning across the Moscow Oblast landscape.
Drivers will find over 30 interchanges spaced along the route, providing access in different directions. Speed limits range from 80 to 140 kilometers per hour (roughly 50 to 87 miles per hour) depending on the section.
Tolls are collected automatically through electronic systems mounted on vehicles or captured by camera. Freight trucks use dedicated lanes to keep commercial traffic separate from passenger cars.
