North-Eastern Chord

The North-Eastern Chord (Russian: Северо-Bосточная Xорда, romanized: Severo-Vostochnaya Khorda), abbreviated as CBX, is a motorway in Moscow that was completed and opened on September 22, 2022.

[1] The 29 kilometres (18 mi) motorway starts from the south end of the Moscow-Saint Petersburg motorway to along the Little Ring of the Moscow Railway, and ends at the Veshnyaki-Lyubertsy interchange with the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD), where east-bound the expressway gives access to Kosinskaya Highway and ultimately the M12 highway.

[2] The motorway links the Northern Administrative Okrug and the South-Eastern Administrative Okrug and will help unload traffic at the MKAD by 20—25% and redistribute traffic flows at the Third Ring Road, Shchelkovsky highway, Entuziastov highway, Ryazansky Avenue, and Volgogradsky Avenue.

[3][4] The completed sections of the CBX begins at the Veshnyaki-Lyubertsy interchange with the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD) where east-bound the expressway gives access to Kosinskaya Highway and ultimately the M12 highway.

The interchange of the CBX and the South-Eastern Chord (ЮBX) directs the CBX to a ramp that leads northward, becoming the northern end of the ЮBX, while the central lanes ending at Budennogo Avenue.
