- Here's the juicy gossip: Back in 2021, the Moscow company "AlmakorGroup" won a tender to build a Kalina interchange in Yekaterinburg, valued at a whopping 6.3 billion rubles.
- Let's go back in time: Towards the end of August 2024, the Federal Tax Service halted operations on some of AlmakorGroup's accounts. Later, an Arbitration Court in Moscow imposed a first procedure of bankruptcy - supervision. Despite the troubles with the contractor, the city didn't cancel the contract.
- AlmakorGroup's predicaments had a domino effect on the project timeline. Initially, they aimed to complete the interchange by 2023, to mark Yekaterinburg's 300th anniversary. That plan was later abandoned, as they promised to deliver it in December 2024 and early 2025. The latest deadline they've mentioned? The end of 2025.
- In April 2025, a court ordered the arrest of AlmakorGroup's CEO. According to investigators, he embezzled approximately 2 billion rubles on a state contract for reconstruction at an airport in Bashkortostan.
Update: Given the current financial struggles and legal issues surrounding AlmakorGroup, there seems to be uncertainty surrounding the Kalina interchange's completion as planned. Be sure to keep tabs on local news sources for updates on this project.
Stay informed about potential delays in the completion of the Kalina interchange in Yekaterinburg, which is currently managed by the troubled company AlmakorGroup. The disturbances in AlmakorGroup's finance and legal affairs in the industry have significantly affected the transportation sector within the city, and it's essential to monitor any financial news regarding the company to understand the ongoing situation in the Yekaterinburg transport industry.
