Blagoveshchensk–Heihe Bridge

The international bridge spans 1,280 meters across the Amur River with two vehicle lanes and features a 147-meter central span connecting both nations.

Construction of this first direct road link between Russia and China began in December 2016 and reached completion in November 2019, though opening delayed until 2022.

The bridge functions as a physical connection point between Russian and Chinese communities, enabling direct transportation between Blagoveshchensk and Heihe cities.

The crossing point operates 24 hours daily since January 2023, processing up to 630 trucks, 164 buses, and 68 cars per day with payment in rubles or yuan.

The construction costs reached 19 billion rubles, with Russia investing 14 billion for its section and China contributing 5.2 billion for their portion.
