A river crossing, crossing! Shore the left, right bank…
Soon easier said than done. First relatively serious conversations about building a bridge across the Lena began in the early 80 – ies of the last century. In 1988-1989. Was made even his project. But from 2007 to 2010. Filing with dts Arthur Androsova begun to actively discuss option built an underwater tunnel, only the idea was not supported by the country’s leadership. Since 2012, the idea of building a bridge and got a second life to this day in the media periodically procrastinate this “news”. May indeed, in the near future, we can all year round, without a long wait then provided on one side, then the other, and all that we see in the navigation season at the crossing will remain only in our memories or pictures like these?
Bridge plan about this place – 35 km upstream from Yakutsk. On the left bank of the transition will be adjacent to the village Tabaga and the right – to the village Haptagay.
And while only wires connect banks huge electroporation.
Ferry usually opens in late May and ends in late October. Usually, the beginning and end of the most unpleasant navigation – crush is wild, so this picture is not entirely “truthful” :).
In the summer, quieter …
Ferries, gradually filling up, almost every hour, go to the other side. On average, to get from Yakutsk to Lower Bestiah need almost 2 hours way back downstream, it takes just over an hour.
Those who are rushing somewhere strongly can use boats.
In addition, for 250 rubles Yakutsk to Lower Bestyakh and can be reached by boat “Rukavishnikov”. By the way, every time you mention the name of the vessel, I can not help recalling the news about how our countrywoman Larissa Troeva tied to this riverboat their hair, dragged him by 5 yards. No more and no less, but the vessel weighs 30 tons! Although this stuff for Larissa – later she set a world record by sliding up and three-decker river passenger ship “Dem’ian Bednyi”.

Finally, I suggest to read some recent major Russian project to build bridges. Assess their real value is not skilled virtually impossible – for the same length and width of the structures may differ, it is extremely important, but less obvious features that increase the cost of its construction.
Unfortunately, there is the fact that our people are often itch when they are anything but not staschat. For example, in January 2013, it became known about the theft of metal in the construction of Russian bridge at more than 96 million rubles. During the construction of the Volgograd bridge revealed violations in the amount of 152 million rubles, and the price of the project has been exceeded by almost 1.5 billion rubles. Or a case with a bridge across Yuribey – the longest bridge in the world beyond the Arctic Circle has turned less thorough than expected. And laughter, and sin, and talk about this sort of appeared after the publication on the internet of collective photo with bridge opening ceremony. Gazpromovtsev stand on wooden sleepers, while the project rails on the bridge over Yuribey had to be attached to the reinforced concrete slabs – this follows from the documents “LENGIPROTRANS” who designed the line Ob – Bovanenkovo – Karaskaya.
There are also other discrepancies. Lack not only plates, which are attached to the rails, but also provided support of the project outline concrete blocks – instead bridge rests on steel pipes. As a result, the difference in cost between what was originally projected, and that is built, was about 19 billion rubles. Well, how will we – time will tell 🙂
