Construction of the Northern Bypass Route in Novosibirsk was launched in 1999. The route links the M-51 and M-53 Baikal federal motor roads and has great significance for the Siberian region and Russia as a whole because it forms a transit transport corridor facilitating motor traffic from Russia's western and eastern regions. Under the national transport strategy planned up to 2030, the Northern Bypass Route in Novosibirsk is a top priority for the Siberian Federal District. The construction project is federally funded.

The 76.4-km route comprising ten transport junctions, 14 viaducts and 11 bridges is being built in two stages. The first stage is a 50-km stretch from the Prokudskoye township to the Sadovy township. Commissioned in 2008, this stretch of road features a pedestrian bridge across the Ob River.

Construction of the route's second stage linking the Sadovy and Sokur townships was launched in July 2009. The section comprises the No. 10 and No. 11 and No. 12 start-up facilities of the motor road in the first technical category with cement-and-concrete coating. Construction of the first 26.4-km stage worth 6,216,000,000 roubles will make it possible to reroute transit traffic from Mochishche village, as well as the Oktyabrsky and Sokur townships, and will create safer and more comfortable transit-traffic conditions. Consequently, rush-hour local traffic jams will be eliminated along approaches to the regional capital.

After it is fully commissioned, the route will improve the transport and environmental situation in the Siberian capital and will also facilitate unimpeded transit traffic along the West-East international transport corridor, helping to strengthen Western Siberian region domestic ties. Transport ties between economic zones in European Russia, the Urals and Trans-Urals regions will also be strengthened.
