Sixty one milliard rubles are required for building of the bridge across the Ob River

Building of the bridge across the Ob River in Salekhard will be started in 2017. This information was given by the plenipotentiary envoy of the President of the Russian Federation in Ural Federal Okrug Igor Kholmanskikh on the press-conference.

As he says, it needs to develop the project "The Northern Latitudinal Railway". Building of the combined motor-road and railroad bridge across the Ob River in Salekhard for the present moment is a basic problematic part. It needs to find 61 milliard rubles for building of the bridge. Building should be started in 2017, as Igor Kholmanskikh says. The plenipotentiary envoy also underlines that building of the bridge across the Ob River will considerably decrease terms of delivery of goods to Salekhard and also will decrease their cost due to reduction in price of transport expenditures.
