FKU "Uprdor Moscow – Nizhny Novgorod" has filed six lawsuits against the contractor LLC "Dorozhnaya Stroitel'naya Kompaniya" since the beginning of September. The total amount of the claims is 288.7 million rubles, according to the arbitration case registry.
Three lawsuits were registered on 4 September. The claim amounts were 39.7 million, 26.6 million and 15 million rubles. Two more claims for 10.3 million and 2.9 million rubles were filed on 5 September. The largest claim was registered on 9 September — for 196.2 million rubles.
The reasons for filing the lawsuits are not specified in the court documents. Hearing dates have already been set for some of them.
It should be noted that LLC "Dorozhnaya Stroitel'naya Kompaniya" was the contractor for the major overhaul with widening to four lanes of a section of the R-158 highway in the Dalnekonstantinovsky district of the Nizhny Novgorod region — from kilometer 40 to 52. The contract was worth 3.7 billion rubles.
The contract with the company was unilaterally terminated by the customer in June 2025. The reason was a breach of the work schedule. In May of the same year the contractor completely suspended construction: there was no equipment or workers at the site. The company did not provide any explanations. The customer sent a claim demanding payment of a penalty and notifying of a possible contract termination. Work did not resume. At that time the project was more than 60% complete. Of the 12 kilometers of the highway, about 8 kilometers had been widened, 6 of them fully.
At the time, FKU "Uprdor Moscow — Nizhny Novgorod" reported that a tender to select a new contractor was being prepared. However, it has not been announced to date. There is no road machinery at the site.
Initially completion was planned for November 2024. Later the deadlines were moved to spring 2025, and then it was reported that the widening of the highway could be delayed until 2026. It can now be assumed that they will be completed at best next year, especially given the change of contractor and the court proceedings, which may further complicate project implementation.
By the way, this is not the only case in which customers have had complaints about the work of LLC "DSK". The company nearly caused a failure to carry out repairs to the roadway section of the Borsky Bridge. At the end of May the Main Directorate for Highways of the Nizhny Novgorod Region (GUAD) sent the contractor a notice of unilateral contract termination due to the complete cessation of work and failure to fulfill obligations, but 10 days later LLC "DSK" nevertheless resumed construction work.
