Thanks to efforts from both China and Russia, construction of the first bridge across the boundary river of the two countries will officially begin on Dec. 24.
The project was jointed proposed by both countries in 1988. It took 28 years to finally realize the construction of the bridge, however. Since 2013, the provincial government of Heilongjiang in China and the state government of Amur in Russia have been actively accelerating the process by focusing on funding, which led to a major corporate contribution.
The bridge will become the first modern highway bridge connecting two countries along their border. At one end is Heihe in Heilongjiang province, and at the other is Blagoveshchensk, Amur in Russia. The total length of the bridge is 1,283 meters. It is scheduled to open to traffic in October 2019, requiring an estimated budget of 2.47 billion RMB.
