Amur Bridge Project

Amur Bridge Project

The Amur Bridge Project was announced in 2007 by Valery Solomonovich Gurevich, the vice-chairman of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast. He said that China and Russia will start construction of the first railway bridge over the Amur River at the end of 2007. The bridge will link Nizhneleninskoye in the Jewish Autonomous Oblast with Tongjiang in Heilongjiang Province. The 2,197-meter-long bridge, with an estimated investment of nearly US$230 million, is expected to be finished by the end of 2010, Gurevich said.

"The bridge, in the bold estimate, will be finished in three years," Gurevich said.
