Russian contractors are working on plans to build the new Kerch Strait bridge crossing. The project to build the bridge and the necessary access roads looks likely to cost some US$6.85 billion, political considerations aside. The planned bridge would connect Sevastopol with Krasnodar. Contractor Stroytransgaz looks likely to handle the project, with other firms being brought in as specialist sub-contractors. Financing for the project has yet to be sourced, with sanctions against certain Russian companies limiting the firms able to provide the necessary funding.
