The bridge across the Lena River will be the largest public-private project in the field of road infrastructure in Russia.
For the construction of a bridge across the Lena River near Yakutsk State plans to allocate about 40 billion rubles, 17 billion more will bring private investors, the head of the Federal Road Agency (Rosavtodor) Roman Starovoit.
According to the head of the Federal Road Agency, if the bridge was built only for the budget, it would come out 15-20% more expensive.
The total length of infrastructure facility (actually Bridge – 3 km – and the approaches to it), which was built on the principle of the contract life cycle, according to preliminary estimates will be more than 21 km.
“This is a very interesting project in terms of engineering solutions: wide riverbed, high wind loads, heavy ice conditions. Future bridge is very important not only for Yakutia, but the whole of the Far East, giving impetus to its development”, – quotes the head of department “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”.
