Domodedovo is a city with a population of one hundred thousand in the nearest Moscow region. A comfortable and convenient place to live, where there is everything you need. The airport is nearby; you can get to the capital in just 45-50 minutes. Domodedovo is considered for permanent residence by many residents of the metropolis and migrants. Local and metropolitan authorities are constantly investing in the development of road transport infrastructure to ensure full accessibility to one of the main air hubs in Europe. DMD Airport connects 20 of the continent's most important transport and trade points.
The city is located 37 km from the center of Moscow, close to the airport. The district of the near Moscow region is divided into 7 districts: Aviation, White Stolby, Barybino, Western, Vostryakovo, Northern, as well as Western and Central. Domodedovo also has historical microdistricts: Konstantinovo, Zhilposelok, Yolochki, Yuzhny and Druzhba.
Ecology and climate of the city of the Moscow region
Domodedovo is located in the temperate continental zone. Winters are quite mild, spring and autumn have a lot of precipitation, summers are humid and warm. Apart from the Pakhra River, there are no lakes or other reservoirs in the city. The settlement is surrounded by forested areas.
There are no environmental problems in DMD. There are few industrial enterprises: Nestlé Watercoolers, PepsiCo Holdings, a sewing and knitting factory, a plant for the production of metal structures. The main source of pollution is Kashirskoye Highway.
Transport accessibility and infrastructure
There are two highways going through Domodedovo: M-4 Don and Kashirskoye Highway. In 2015, construction began on a bypass road around the Aviation district with an interchange near the airport. The duration of the new section of the route is 6 km.
Traffic problems are noted near the Moscow Ring Road; 5 km from the capital, cars move more freely. They are planning to create an aeropolis in the vicinity of Domodedovo. Investment will be directed not only to the construction of new transport infrastructure, but also to the restoration of the existing one.
For convenient movement within the city of the Moscow region, bicycle paths are provided connecting residential buildings with public facilities. Their length is at least 500 m.
In Domodedovo, traffic conditions are better than in other cities in the Moscow region. But there are problems with limited bandwidth. The M-4 highway carries only 5 thousand cars per hour. It's not that much. There is another option - railway. One train can accommodate up to 1 thousand passengers, and during rush hour their number increases to 12.
Existing roads cannot provide free movement. New routes will have tolls. To get to work in Moscow, you will have to pay. The train from the center of the metropolis takes 50 minutes. When deciding whether to move to Domodedovo, this must be taken into account.
The situation with transport accessibility depends not only on the quality and quantity of roads, but also on the availability of jobs in the DMD. Every year, the construction of multi-storey buildings is actively carried out in the Moscow region. The number of residents is increasing, as is the load on the highways. Getting into Moscow during rush hour is really problematic.
