restoration of the Crimean bridge may cost 1-1.3 billion rubles – Kommersant

The construction of an additional bridge, which is necessary for the repair of the Crimean bridge, will take two months. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin. The restoration, according to preliminary data, will cost 1-1.3 billion rubles, the Deputy Prime Minister said.

“Already yesterday we started transferring pipes and metal structures from Tolyatti. We will build it in two months,” the Deputy Prime Minister said during an “Open Dialogue” with Russian senators. The temporary bridge will be 250 m long, since it is impossible to approach the damage from the sea.

“How much will it cost – while we see one billion – 1.3 billion (rubles – “b”). These are preliminary calculations,” Mr. Khusnullin later told reporters (quoted from “RIA News”).

Now the traffic on the bridge is carried out in reverse mode. According to Marat Khusnullin, two-way traffic on one side of the Crimean bridge will be launched by September 15, and on the other side by November 1. It is not planned to launch trucks on the Crimean bridge in the near future due to security, he said.

As a result of the attack of two surface drones on the night of July 17, the span of the bridge was damaged, another one received an axial displacement. The supports remained intact. A couple from the Belgorod region died, their 14-year-old daughter was injured.
