Dunaysky Prospekt
Saint Petersburg, Dunaysky Avenue
Dunaysky Prospekt is a major thoroughfare in St. Petersburg, 7.2 km long, running from west to east in the southern part of the city, from Predportovaya Street to Sofiyskaya Street. The name, assigned in 1968, is associated with the Danube River and streets named after the capitals of the countries through which it flows. After reconstruction, the avenue received three traffic lanes in each direction and pocket lanes along the buildings, and in 2006 the section from Kupchinskaya to Bucharestskaya Street was renovated. The new section near the interchange with Moskovskoye Highway, built as part of the national project "Safe and High-Quality Roads," is 1,460 meters long, including a 924-meter overpass with approaches.
