New bridge for St Petersburg

A new US$181.7 million bridge is due to be built in the Russian city of St Petersburg. The bridge will span the Bolshaya Nevka River and provide a link to Novo-Admiralteysky Island. The bridge is due for completion in the third quarter of 2013 and will be 265m long, while it will allow a 40m height clearance for vessels navigating the river. The work is being handled by Russian contractor 2964 Mostostroy No6, which won the tender process recently.
