First railway bridge between Russia and China across the Amur river is under construction

The first railway bridge between Russia and China across the Amur river is under construction. The Russian part of the project will require investment of 4.2 billion roubles. 

The bridge could carry 20 million tonnes of goods per year across the Amur by 2020. Metallurgical products will account for only 45 percent of these goods, with oil products, timber, food and building products also transported.
