At the end of last year, the Yamal government announced that it would invest in the building of the road part of the bridge across the Ob River in the area of Salekhard. The railway part of the bridge is planned to be built on concession terms.
“It will certainly be a railway and road bridge. The automobile part of the bridge is estimated at 8.2 billion rubles. These are the costs incurred by the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, starting from the moment of construction, approximately 2.2 billion a year. There are companies that are able to build this bridge. It is very complex in its design. You know that Ob has a second bottom, as they say. It's a very complicated project, but, you know, I dream about it sometimes. I think we will implement it”, Kobylkin said.
