Meanwhile the authorities in Siberia’s Krasnoyarsk Region are planning to build a new bridge that will span the Yenisei River. The US$158.7 million project will see the construction of the fifth bridge spanning the Yenisei River. Called the Vysokogorsky Bridge, this will be the most northerly of the bridges spanning the river in and around Krasnoyarsk.
