History of Yaroslavskoye Highway: from the Tsar's road to a federal highway

Yaroslavskoye Highway is not just a Moscow Region thoroughfare, but the beginning of the federal highway M-8 "Kholmogory", which stretches from Moscow to Severodvinsk in the Arkhangelsk Region. The history of this road goes back deep into antiquity: the route from Moscow to Yaroslavl became one of the first paved roads in Russia — a surface of compacted crushed stone appeared here even under Emperor Nicholas I. In Soviet times, the road was asphalted and widened, and in the late 1990s, a large four-level interchange was built at the intersection with the MKAD, which remains one of the most complex on the Moscow Ring Road to this day.

Transport infrastructure: MKAD, Mytishchinskaya Chord and intersections

Yaroslavskoye Highway in the Mytishchi area is a major transport hub. Several key routes intersect here: the highway itself, the MKAD, and the Mytishchinskaya Chord — a toll road connecting Dmitrovskoye and Yaroslavskoye Highways. The Mytishchinskaya Chord runs through the city and serves as a northern bypass of the MKAD, relieving the flow of transit traffic. Thanks to this infrastructure, Mytishchi has become an important logistics hub between Moscow and the northeastern direction of the Moscow Region.

Landmarks and attractions along Yaroslavskoye Highway

Several notable objects are located in close proximity to Yaroslavskoye Highway. The shopping center XL-2 (formerly XL Family) opened in 2001 at 1 Kommunisticheskaya Street — this is a three-story complex with an area of about 15,440 m². Mytishchi is rightfully considered one of the shopping capitals of the Moscow Region: in addition to XL-2, the city operates the "Iyun" shopping mall, 4DAILY, "Krasny Kit" and other large retail spaces.

But Mytishchi is not just shops and traffic jams. Within the city limits, the ancient village of Tayninskoye has been preserved, known since the early 15th century. It was here that Ivan the Terrible stopped after the capture of Kazan, and the Putevoy Palace was located — the residence for royal travels along the Yaroslavl tract. And the name of the city itself, Mytishchi, comes from the word "myty" — a duty on trading vessels that was collected in these places, and the first customs house in Russia was founded here during the time of Ivan the Terrible.

Mytishchi: a city on the border of Moscow

Mytishchi is a city in the Moscow Region, located 19 km northeast of the center of Moscow on the Yauza River. The city directly borders the capital along the MKAD, and it is in the area of Yaroslavskoye Highway that this border runs. Mytishchi is one of the largest satellite cities of Moscow with a population of over 260,000 people. The city is actively being built up: following the results of 2016, Mytishchi were among the top five leaders in the Moscow Region in terms of commissioning construction projects. It is these multi-story residential quarters that are visible in the background from the webcam, forming the modern appearance of the city.
