Going on a journey, every motorist, beforeall, try to learn about the most profitable route, so that it was short and comfortable. It is not without reason that forums where experienced drivers who have crossed Maikop-Tuapse share their secrets and give tips on how to overcome all the difficulties of this path are very popular on the Internet.
Если решили поехать к Чёрному морю на своей car, it is worth solving a few questions. The first, most important: “Which route to prefer?”. If the path goes through Krasnodar, then it is best to use the federal highway M-4, passing through the Hot Key, Dzhubga and then going as the M-27 highway along the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory to Sochi.
In principle, the M-254 highway is an offshootfederal highway M-27, connecting Sochi and Dzhubga. If your path lies from Stavropol, Armavir, then to get to the same Sochi, it is best to use the road through Maykop on Tuapse, passing along the M-254 highway along the route Maykop-Tuapse-Guzeripl. This will help you save a lot of time, since many kilometers of traffic jams occur during the holiday season on the federal highway M-4, and the distance is much longer. But just want to warn that the quality of the road Maykop-Tuapse leaves much to be desired.
This route passes through the Krasnodar Territory andRepublic of Adygea. The length is 225 km. The most popular route going along this route is, of course, the Maykop-Tuapse road. The distance between these cities is 143 kilometers, which can be covered in 2 hours and 30 minutes. It is on this road that the Shahumian Pass is located, which is considered to be the most inconvenient part of the route, but it will allow you to avoid idle traffic jams on the M-4 highway.
Many drivers are scared that the track passes infoothill and mountainous terrain. But believe me, the picturesque landscapes behind the windows of the car, viewing platforms with panoramic views of the mountains and the surrounding countryside will bring you a lot of pleasure and diversify your vacation.
Состояние дороги Туапсе-Майкоп по отзывам drivers satisfactory. Its standard width is 8 meters. It has, in comparison with other routes going to the Black Sea, two advantages. The first, as mentioned, the absence of traffic jams. Second: a small number of traffic police posts.
Maikop-Zazulin-Apsheronsk-Khadyzhensk-Shaumyan.The road on this stretch is good. The Khadyzhensk-Shahumyan segment is considered to be difficult. Practically, in comparison with the highway M-4, there is no transport. Up to the Shahumyan Pass, the road goes to the mountains in large loops. Up to the pass, according to many drivers, goes the bulk gravel road Maykop-Tuapse. Machines slow down to 20-30 km / h and slowly, in the dust, move to the pass. There is a feeling that there are more cars. Although, according to drivers, local motorists drive through the pass at high speed.
On the Shahumyan Pass itself, the road has noroadside, no fencing. In places, it is surrounded by rocks and abysses. The gravel road goes right up to the village of Shahumyan. At the pass itself there is an observation deck, overlooking the mountains and rocks. The view from her is so breathtaking.
Shaumyan-Mountain-Indyuk-Krivenkovskoe-Tuapse.After the village of Shaumyan, the asphalted road ends and a gravel road goes over eight kilometers. After this stretch the road gets much better. It should be noted that the highway Maykop-Tuapse goes near the railway tracks. On the pass, near the station Indyuk, one can observe how the train enters a special tunnel and crawls out of the mountain at an altitude above 30 meters.
After the settlement the trail runs under the big old onean arched bridge, here the asphalt ends and the gravel road begins. Passing a dozen kilometers along it, you will see that the asphalt begins, which stretches all the way to Tuapse.
How do drivers relate to the road Tuapse-Maikop?Road reviews are extremely controversial. Those drivers who constantly use this route, write that the difficulties are not so difficult and you can get used to everything. Those who are faced with the road for the first time, are divided into two halves. The first, agree to any difficulties, just to save time. The latter decide for themselves that they will never take this road again.
There are drivers who like driving on thisthe road. They believe that the pass, which is moving in 10 minutes, is not worth much to worry about, but the beauty here is pristine and fresh mountain air. Many users of this road pay attention to the beauty of these places, who agree to unforeseen difficulties, just to be here again.
Reconstruction of the road is not cheap.The thing is that the M-254 highway is not federal and the local budget, which has no such money, should allocate funds for its repair. The Maykop-Tuapse road runs through the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea. The reconstruction of the road and the construction of the tunnel through the Shahumyan Pass (built at the expense of the federal budget) has been conducted since 2000. After seven years, the construction was stopped, since in 2007 the financing stopped.
Transport situation has developed in such a waythat many kilometers of traffic jams on the federal highway M-4 “Don” do not benefit the development of the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory. The Ministry of Transport and Avtodor Group of Companies are planning to reconstruct the Maykop-Tuapse road, and it is being considered as an alternative to the M-4 Don route. But users of this road should not be very happy, as they plan to make this road toll.
