The state-owned Avtodor announced the deadlines for completing the construction of the Tver Northern Bypass on the M11 highway. According to the AvtoVzglyad portal, in December 2023 the first line towards the northern capital will be ready, and in October 2024 the new section will start operating as usual.

On average, a Sapsan ticket to St. Petersburg costs 2500 rubles, and a car fare about 2300. the site becomes relatively profitable only if there are at least 3 people in the car.
