The construction of a bridge across the Kerch Strait will have to negotiate with the leadership of Ukraine, said the head of the Crimea Sergey Aksenov, not excluding, from the beginning of the project may be delayed. " now is the coordination and collection of documents. While There are legal regulations that say about the fact that the construction of a bridge we'll have to agree with Ukraine, as this area of the General navigation in the Azov sea. There are legal standards that today, in my opinion, not literally have the opportunity to be overcome. In the near future, on the extremely least time, " said Aksenov, RIA " Novosti ". According to him, as long as the final decision on the working draft is not accepted and estimates for the construction of today are no more than than prognostic indicators. Aksenov noticed that there are currently different variants of construction of the transport passage - as well as among them bridge length of 19 kilometers through the main part of the Strait. The bridge across the Kerch Strait must be built until 2018. It will connect the Crimea with the rest of Russia and will contain a four-lane road crossing and two railway tracks. The project cost may exceed 228 billion. Authorities suggest to choose a contractor to build before the end of the current year. The construction of the bridge has the ability to be financed through the issuance of infrastructure bonds in the future year. Ferry crossing through the Kerch Strait is the main today transport artery linking the Crimea and the Krasnodar region, for this reason, traffic jams and long hours of waiting loading of cars on the ferry are very commonplace.
