Work is due to commence shortly for the Krasnodar Bypass project in Southern Russia. The construction activity on the Far Western Bypass stretch should get underway in the third quarter of 2020.

Before the building work commences, archaeological digs are being carried out in the area. A 59,000m2 area has been targeted for the historical excavation work. This activity is a requirement for the project.

The bypass will be 51km in length in all. It will feature four bridges, 20 overpasses and three major interchanges.
