The Russian Government made a decision not to hold one more tender for construction of a railway access road to the Kerch Bridge on the part of the Crimea, Kommersant reports.
“Since there is no volunteers to build the object for 17 billion rubles, Stroygasmontazh (an asset of Russian billionaire Arkady Rotenberg – editor's note), which is building the Kerch Bridge itself and has a possibility to meet the deadline and cost, was appointed a contractor,” the newspaper notes with the reference to its source in the government.
“After two tenders for contractors were announced and not a single application was submitted, the Transport Ministry addressed Stroygazmontazh with a proposal to consider an opportunity to build an object,” the Transport Minister of Russia, Sergey Sokolov, confirmed the information to Kommersant.
As a reference, Stroygasmontazh is the largest construction company for gas pipelines and electrical power supply lines in Russia.
