• The KAD section between the Ropshinskoe Highway and Sofiyskaya Street.
• Pulkovskoe Highway from Krasnoselskoe Highway to Dunaysky Prospekt.
• St. Petersburg Highway from Pulkovskoe Highway to Kuzminskoe Highway.
• Vitebsky Prospekt from Moscow Highway to St. Petersburg Highway.

Rest areas for drivers will be closed on the specified section of the KAD during these days. Access to gas stations will remain open. Sections of Startovaya, Domodedovskaya and Vnukovskaya streets are closed until June 22, and the roadway is narrowed on multiple streets.
