For reference:
The Western High Speed Diameter in St. Petersburg (WHSD) is a strategic investment project in St. Petersburg intended to give a strong impulse to its development as a megacity and one of the major European transport centers. WHSD is the first Russian express toll road built inside a city. This modern multi-lane highway will connect the southwest of St. Petersburg, including the Sea Port area, with the Ring Road, Vasilievsky Island, Kurortny District and the Scandinavia motorway. The WHSD project is the biggest PPP project in the field of road construction in Russia. Non-standard engineering structures forming the WHSD road have a recognizable architectural appearance.
