A new bridge link will improve connectivity in the Ural mountains

By order of Natalya Komarova, the governor of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area (Urals), A feasibility study is underway for the second bridge across the Ob River construction in Russia’s Surgut region.

Average daily traffic already exceeds its planned volume, which is why the second crossing is required.
