Russia has definitely been connection building these previous years that are few figuratively and literally.

On paper about a few tasks like the Crimea Bridge, the Russia-Sakhalin Bridge, The Sakhalin-Japan connection, as well as the ambitions associated with Bering Strait bridge/tunnel.

I’ve yet to talk about the 2 brand new bridges under construction within the Amur River between Russia and Asia, that are now near to completion stages.

The name that is chinese the Amur River, Heilong Jiang, means Ebony Dragon River, and its own Mongolian title, Khar Moron, means Black River. The eastern edge part is finished 4,000 kilometers very long.

Currently, three railway lines cross the entire border that is russo-Chinese. The 2 railway edge crossings at Zabaikalsk/Manzhouli and Suifenhe/Grodekovo are over a hundred years old, brought into presence because of the initial design of Russia’s Trans Siberian Railway that took a shortcut across Manchuria (the Chinese Eastern Railway). The 3rd railway crossing, near Hunchun/Makhalino, operated between 2000 and 2004, had been then closed for some years, and just recently had been partially reopened.

Construction has begun a whilst ago on a cross-border Amur River railway connection near Tongjiang/Nizhneleninskoye, that will get to be the 4th therefore the railway that is key crossing for the Russian asia. In reality, it is the just one to date for the reason that region that is vast.

maybe perhaps Not really a complete lot happens to be reported within our English language press, however these bridges are foundational to insofar because they represent the very first that connect Russia and Asia by road and train with what once was an unbroken 3,000+ kilometer transport void.

Really the only methods to get a cross along this border-defining river ended up being either by ferries, or higher the wintertime ice by vehicle at mostly of the border checkpoints along that huge expanse. (more…)
