Crimean Bridge, Road and railway bridge between Kerch and Taman peninsulas, Russia
The Crimean Bridge spans 19 kilometers across the Kerch Strait, incorporating both road and rail connections at a height of 80 meters.
Construction of this transportation link began in 2015, with the road section opening in May 2018 and the railway portion completed in December 2019.
The bridge construction project generated extensive documentation through local photographers and journalists who recorded each phase of development from 2015 to 2020.
The structure provides passage for up to 40,000 vehicles daily while maintaining two railway tracks for regular train service between the connected regions.
Engineers designed specific structural elements to withstand strong winds, seismic activity, and ice formations common in the Kerch Strait waters.
