Russia develops infrastructure in Crimea

According to the Russian Ministry of Transportation, the installation of arched spans of a bridge across the Kerch Strait will be completed by winter. As a result, the Crimean and Kuban coasts will be connected by the structure. Vehicular traffic on the bridge is expected to kick-start at the end of next year while railroad communication between Crimea and Kuban or the Krasnodar Territory will be established in 2019.

In addition, the federal highway Taurida 280 kilometers long is under construction in Crimea already. It will connect the cities of Kerch, Simferopol and Sevastopol with the bridge across the Kerch Strait.
