Moskovsky Prospekt. Webcam Voronezh online

Moskovsky prospectus in Voronezh, probably, the longest street. Starting from Zastava square, the highway ends just outside the city, near the exit towards the airport. Passing through it, notice how grew and expanded its borders our city.

The era of Zadonsk highway

Although Moscow Avenue in Voronezh appeared relatively recently, in 1975, the official history goes back one hundred and fifty years. Actually the road in this direction — the same age as the city itself.

In the place where is now the main building of the VSU, a fortress was built in Voronezh. From it on a twisty and bumpy street of Old style (now Karl Marx street) the messengers went to the city gate. Yes, known to all citizens of Voronezh area of the Outpost until the mid-nineteenth century was the distant outskirts of the city. For it was not houses. From here began the road to Moscow. Because the way lay through the small town of Zadonsk, where travelers could refresh and change horses, and the tract was named Zadonskom highway.

The word "highway" in the name of the highway by chance. The so-called roads, reinforced with gravel. By the way, if the roadway was paved with cobblestones, it was called the pavement. The official "birthday" of Zadonsk highway can be considered as 19 Sep 1857, when he was commissioned straight and wide road.

District industrial buildings

The beginning of the twentieth century is the time of the industrial revolution. Throughout Russia, including in Voronezh, new plants. One of the large enterprises has become a factory "the Refrigerator", which produces frozen foods. He appeared in the 1910-ies at the beginning of Zadonsk highway. Rebuilt after the great Patriotic war the enterprise operates. The townspeople know him as a cold storage facility.

Another significant for Voronezh enterprise appeared on the street in the summer of 1915. It was the First world war. From front-line zones, the evacuation of the most important for the economy of objects. So, from Riga into our city moved machine-building plant "Richard Field." In Voronezh it became the largest industrial enterprise. It was delivered in a big way: for the export of products from the Kursk railroad station to the plant stretched even a single railway line.

It is the company of Richard Field, largely determined the development of mechanical engineering in Voronezh. After 1917 it was nationalized and renamed to Zavod imeni Kominterna. In 1938, the enterprise gave the name to the entire new city district — Comintern. During the great Patriotic war instead of shovels, there were produced the legendary "Katyusha". Today excavator plant of the Comintern is going through hard times, he went through bankruptcy. I hope that in the future he will be able to regain its former glory.

The city grows to the North

Outlines of modern Moscow prospectus in Voronezh began to be laid in the second half of 1920-ies. It was then made the decision to expand the city to the North. He began building the section between Uritskogo street and Avenue of Labor. In 1929 the Comintern was put into the tram.

1930-e years were marked by the construction of autogenous plant "Electrosignal". Shape is the area between the stops of Clinical and cross-country. The Central artery of the new district of Voronezh was Moscow's current prospectus. However, at that time he was considered a continuation of the street Plekhanov.

Another iconic point on the Moscovsky prospect Voronezh in 1967, became a monument of Glory (the author of the project — Fyodor Sushkov). Fraternal grave and the Eternal flame at the entrance to the city reminiscent of the bloody battles of the great Patriotic war. In fact, in this area 20 years ago and ended with the Moscow Avenue. Further there were only a few buildings: the hotel "Sputnik", Regional clinical hospital.

That all changed in 1994-1996, when the edge appeared elegant houses of the German town. They settled a military family, derived from the Western group of forces. By the way, contrary to popular belief, engineered complex of the Voronezh architects. The German side was to do construction work.

Moskovsky prospect is the day today

What today is associated by the residents of Voronezh Moskovsky prospect? Surprisingly, with very diverse functions objects:
freedom-loving Polytechnic (technical University) and the Regional hospital;
German town and shopping centers (shopping center "Moskovsky Prospekt", city-Park "Grad");
Kominternovsky cemetery, the resting place of many famous residents of Voronezh and controversial Pyramid, located not far from it.
Beloved citizens sports base "Olympic" — is also a Moscow Avenue, Voronezh. However, most usually this street is associated with buildings.

On a site from square Gate to the monument of Glory is, and "Khrushchev," and the three-storey building postwar era, but for some reason remembered not for them, and high-rise communities.

The Kingdom of skyscrapers begins in front of the monument of Glory. Panel nine-the Brezhnev era and modern brick home in the city "residential area" everyone will find a place to taste.

Whether to "put down roots" on Moskovsky prospect? In favor of this decision said a small deterioration of buildings and the convenience of planning new housing. The possibility of shared construction, and, therefore, more affordable the value of the property is another plus. The proximity of the forest plantations and the possibility of frequent camping — a definite bonus received by all of the residents of Moscow Avenue.

We need only remember that the highway known to the Voronezh their "jams". At peak times it is called, is. So, all workers in the city centre have to go to work early.

Lack of infrastructure in areas of new buildings — is another sore point in Moscow Avenue. If grocery stores, hairdressers and pharmacies are already enough, clinics, kindergartens and libraries is clearly not enough. However, their construction is a matter of time. Judging by the experience of urban development, in 5-7 years it will be quite comfortable and liveable district.
