A new bridge crossing for the Lena River is being proposed in Russia. The bridge will provide a connection between Yakutsk and Nizhny Bestyakh. The bridge is expected to cost upwards of US$900 million to build, with the project likely to be offered under a concession package. A number of consortia comprising both Russian and international firms have already shown interest in the project.
Plans have been drawn up in the Philippines for Cavite-Tagaytay-Batangas Expressway (CTBEx) project. The Metro Pacific Group submitted its proposals for the expressway to the Department of Public Works and Highways. The US$440.2 million expressway will improve the link from Cavite to Nasugbu and Tagaytay. The Metro Pacific Group hopes to receive the necessary approvals for the project by the end of 2017.
