The Amur river
Moscow – The construction of a new railway bridge between China and Russia has been approved. The bridge will cross the Amur river, connecting Mohe, in China, with Dzhalinda, in Russia, providing the Sakha Republic with direct access to China. The approval of the project was reported by the Information Office of the Sakha Republic on 16 March. Thanks to the bridge, the new route will be 2,000 kilometres shorter than the routes currently used.
Currently, the Sakha Republic can access the Chinese market only by sea through the ports in eastern Russia, such as Vladivostok. The Mohe-Dzhalinda section has been closed since 2003 due to low cargo and passenger traffic.
FASTER ACCESS
The Republic of Sakha, also known as the Republic of Yakutia, is the largest administrative region of the Russian Federation. At the same time, this area has the lowest population density in Russia. Due to the harsh natural conditions in winter, the transport industry is not significantly developed.
