Cable bridge in Murom

The three concrete pylons, reaching 90 meters in height, support the steel cables that hold the 1,393-meter-long road deck over the Oka River.

Before the construction of this permanent structure in 2009, residents could only cross the Oka River using seasonal pontoon bridges or winter ferry services.

The bridge connects the Vladimir and Nizhny Novgorod regions, facilitating the movement of people and goods between major Russian federal highways.

The 15-meter-wide structure accommodates two lanes of vehicle traffic with a speed limit of 60 kilometers per hour and includes pedestrian walkways.

During windy conditions, the bridge cables produce specific sounds, leading local residents to refer to the structure as the singing bridge.
