The construction of a bridge across the Kerch Strait is dangerous, because in the future, its operation is able to be compounded by adverse weather conditions, for this reason, foreign corporations offer to make a tunnel, which will be cheaper bridge, said the Deputy head of the Council of Ministers of Crimea, the Plenipotentiary representative of the Republic of Crimea under the President of the Russian Federation Georgy Muradov.
The bridge across the Kerch Strait length of about 19 kilometers must be built in 2018-2020. It will contain a four-lane road crossing and two railway tracks. The project cost may exceed 228 billion rubles. Now to get to the Crimea with mainland Russia through Ukraine or the Kerch Strait by ferry. Zam. the head of government of the Russian Federation Dmitry Kozak had previously stated that the construction of transport crossing through the Kerch Strait is expected to start in autumn this year, a number of Russian and foreign organizations have already told about the readiness to proceed to construction of the bridge.
" we have proposals Chinese, canadian corporations, who built numerous tunnel and bridge crossings. They are four to five years are already working in this direction and clearly we declare that to build a Bridge there just dangerous, because at least the month of the year, the individual periods, work will not be because of the stormy winds, icy rain in the winter time, " Muradov said at the round table devoted to the socio-economic development of the Crimea and Sevastopol, in the state Duma.
