Bridge from mainland Russia to Crimea hours away from opening

The bridge across the Kerch Strait, which will connect Russia’s Crimean Peninsula and Krasnodar Region is set to open to traffic on Tuesday. Construction of the bridge, the longest in Russia with a span of 19 kilometers, has been carried out since February 2016, and it is opening for cars more than half a year ahead of schedule.
