Russian Federal Highways

The Russian route M1 (also known as the Belarus Highway, road to Minsk) is a major trunk road that runs from Moscow through Smolensk before reaching the border with Belarus. The length is 440 kilometers (270 mi). The highway runs south of Odintsovo, Kubinka, Mozhaysk, Gagarin, north of Vyazma, through Safonovo and Yartsevo. After crossing the border with Belarus, the highway continues (as olimpijka) to Minsk, Brest, and Warsaw. It is part of the European route E30.

During the 1980 Summer Olympics, a 50 km (31 mi) stretch between the 23 km (14 mi) mark and the 73 km (45 mi) mark was used for the road team time trial cycling event.
