Eastern Exit (Bashkir: Көнсығыш сығыу юлы, Russian: Восточный выезд) is a road-construction project in Ufa, Bashkortostan, a toll transport corridor connecting the Ufa city centre to the M-5 federal highway.
[1] It is Bashkortostan's largest road project and third-largest in Russia, consisting of a tunnel, a bridge, a bypass road, and a connector to a federal highway.
Construction began in 1992, but due to the intermittent financing the work was constantly interrupted.
The project is expected to be completed by 2022.
[2] Funding comes from several sources: 20 billion - the federal component, 10 billion - a loan of VTB Bank and almost 5 billion allocates by the Republic of Bashkortostan.
