Komsomolsk-on-Amur road-rail bridge

The Komsomolsk-on-Amur bridge spans 1435 meters across the Amur River, combining railway and road traffic with a main span of 319 meters.

Construction began in 1969, with the railway section opening in 1975 and the automobile section following in 1981, replacing previous ferry and ice transport methods.

The bridge represented a milestone in Soviet engineering, developed by the Leningrad Gipromost Institute specifically for the Trans-Siberian Railway system integration.

The structure incorporates reinforced concrete, rock asphalt, granite, and steel materials, standing 24 meters above water level to accommodate ship traffic underneath.

Engineers implemented reactive drilling techniques in rocky soil during construction, marking the first use of this technology in Russian bridge building history.
