The rayon's main street is Ulitsa Novoprom4shlennaya.

In c. 1950 the Sholkstroy Silk Combine, the largest
industrial enterprise in Kalinin, was established in
this rayon. With the construction of housing for the
workers of the combine in c. 1955, the rayon, which
had hitherto been virtually uninhabited, began to
develop into a large residential area. At the same
time public institutions were constructed; these
included a club, a hospital, schools and a movie
theater, all of which are assumed to be under the
control of the silk plant.
d. The Trans-Volgan Rayon (Zavolzhskiy Rayon).
This rayon is connected with the center of town by a
new steel bridge, completed in 1955, which leads to
Sovetskaya Street. An old bridge in the vicinity of
the municipal park leads to Musorgskiy Street on the
other side of the Volga. The following buildings are
situated in the Trans-Volgan Rayon:
