Work on sections of Moscow’s new Central Ring Road (CRR) project now looks to face delays. Construction of the first and fifth sections of the ring road is being held back due to the need to relocate a large number of gas pipes and electricity lines, as well as other utilities. The utility companies Gazprom and Transneft have been in discussions with Crocus and Koltsevaya Magistral, which have responsibility for building these sections of the CRR. The utilities were originally planned to have been relocated by the end of 2017 but when work started it was realised that there were considerably more gas pipes and power lines needing to be moved than expected.
