Russia Will Build 7 Kilometers Bridge ...

Russia's Far East Development Minister Viktor Isayev proposed a bridge of 7 kilometers to provide the shortest route to the island of Sakhalin.
The bridge will allow both railway and land transportation. A third corridor will be opened in the Pacific region, he added, noting that the ports do not respond to the transportation capacity, and that direct transportation will be a great advantage in terms of speed.
Russia reaches the Pacific Ocean through the Trans-Siberian railway line. An alternative railway line comes from the Baykal-Amur region. Transport Minister Igor Levitin 2009'da Habarovks of the city of Selihin, Sahalin Island Niş station will extend to a railway length of 580 kilometers suggested. If this proposal is implemented, a direct rail link will be provided with the island of Sakhalin.
THE LARGE 10 BILLION DOLLARS WILL BE THE LARGE COST
According to Ria Novost, the length of the bridge planned to be installed on the Nevelski Strait where the shortest distance is located will be the 7 mileage and the cost is at least 10 billion dollars. The Sakhalin Region and the Russian State Railways continue their technical work to make the project applicable.
According to Isaev, one day a bridge can be established on the 45 kilometer from Sakhalin Island to Hokkaido island of Japan. Thus, a wide rail network from Europe to Japan is built.
SOME PROJECTS CANCELED FOR FINANCIAL SCORES
Russia's President Vladimir Putin's government members of the Far East after their criticism that they are not working on investments in the Far East drew attention to the proposal. Putin pointed out that only 20 of the investments for the region can be made.
Some projects in the region were canceled due to financial scandals and other problems. The 2012 bridge built in Vladivostok was temporarily closed due to asphalt problems within the framework of the 1104 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit, inaugurated by Russian Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev. The 930 million dollar highway linking Vladivostok Airport and Ruski Island was damaged due to heavy rains. Medvedev demanded that those responsible be punished.
