The Department for Development of New Moscow Territories says around 2,000km of motorways may be built and renovated in 'New' Moscow as part of a US$28.75 billion (RUB 1 trillion) investment in developing road transport infrastructure in the enlarged city to 2035. Construction of 476.8km and renovation of a further 381.7km of motorway has already been approved.

On July 1 2012, Moscow grew by 2.4 times and went from the 11th biggest city in the world to the sixth in terms of space, adding 250,000 residents. The new Moscow territory includes a range of cities and villages situated in the south-west of Moscow, between Varshavskoye Shosse and Kievskoye Shosse, as well as three other territories: Skolkovo, Rublyovo-Arkhangelskoye and Moscow Stud Farm No. 1.

Part of the reason for the enlargement of the Russian capital was said to be to help resolve transport, housing and ecological issues by moving key elements of the federal government to the new Moscow territories.
