New highway for Krasnodar region

A new highway stretch is to be built in Russia’s Krasnodar region. The highway will run along the eastern coast of the Black Sea, connecting Dzhubga with Sochi. The highway will provide an improved connection between the new (and controversial) Kerch Strait bridge that runs to the Crimean Peninsula, Novorossiysk and Sochi, as well as the border with Georgia. The project looks likely to attract private financing.
