Abstract:

Kineshma and Zavolzhsk, two industrial cities in the Ivanovo region facing each other across the banks of the Volga River, have had no direct transportation connection. The existing ferry crossing could not accommodate the growing road traffic, whereas railway transit between the two cities is inefficient because of considerable detour lengths. The bridge project over the Volga presently under construction will provide a link for the railway lines and highways between the two cities, as well as for the neighbouring Central European territories of Russia to the northeast. The new bridge is intended to carry traffic on two levels, the railway on the lower level and the highway on the upper. The entire length of the crossing is 15.9 km, the bridge over the Volga being about 1,900 m long.
