Yekaterinburg–Tyumen highway faces major disruptions starting January 29

Major roadworks will disrupt traffic on the Yekaterinburg–Tyumen highway later this month. The project begins on the morning of January 29, 2026, affecting a key stretch between Beloyarsky and Maloobrusnyansky. Drivers should prepare for temporary lane closures and possible delays.

The reconstruction will cause repeated lane closures on January 29 and 30. Each day, traffic will be reduced between 9:30 and 10:00 AM, then again from 10:30 to 11:00 AM. Authorities have warned motorists to expect slower journeys during these times.

An alternative route is available for those travelling toward Zarechny. Drivers can take the R-351 Yekaterinburg–Tyumen highway instead, exiting at the 50-kilometre marker. This detour aims to ease congestion while the main road undergoes repairs.

The work will focus on improving the highway between Beloyarsky and Maloobrusnyansky. Lane restrictions will remain in place during the specified hours on both days. Officials advise checking traffic updates before setting out on the route.
