The construction of the most extended in Russia and Europe, a bridge of 19 kilometers long occupied a little more than two years. 12 million tons of building materials, piles are immersed to a depth of 105 meters. Unique technologies - from the construction of a giant archer with a common weight of more than 10 thousand tons to their transportation by sea and installation in the fairway - all these Russian specialists performed for the first time.

Fours will still be transferred through the strait, as before, on the ferries. The cargo movement along the bridge will be launched in October. In the first summer, the plugs from the Crimea after the congress from the bridge, for sure, it will be difficult to avoid. The mooring of the Crimean Peninsula is still carried out on the old road. The president addressed this problem. It will fully decide after the end of the construction of the Tavrida highway, which will be held through the entire peninsula. Its length is more than 250 kilometers. The construction of two strips of the high-speed highway from Kerch to Simferopol will complete by the end of this year, and by 2020 it will be expanded to four bands and will extend to Sevastopol to a detour of large cities.
In parallel to the automotive bridge in Kerch Strait continues the construction of the railway. A special sound is heard, a kind of melody of construction - so clog piles. Traffic in the railway bridge will open in 2019. 47 pairs of trains per day - to Crimea and back.
Russian President Vladimir Putin opened the automotive part of the bridge through the Kerch Strait. The head of state arrived from Sochi, where he conducted a meeting on the development of the Armed Forces of Russia, to Taman, where the bridge begins. Putin talked to the builders of the bridge, after which he sat down behind the wheel "Kama Kaza" and with a column of construction equipment moved along the bridge on the peninsula. The rally concert was held in Kerch.
After the visit of Putin on the bridge on Kamaja, users of social networks asked if the President had the right to manage truck vehicles. This question was handed over to Dmitry Peskov, who said that the category of category C was received by Putin "for about twenty years ago."
Putin, in his speech in Kerch, called the opening of the Crimean Bridge "Historical Day", which, as he put it, "dreamed of still at Queen-Batyushka." The President thanked the workers, as well as the "organizers" of construction, as they, as the head of state believed, put the interests of the country "above personal and group". Bridge over the Kerch Strait made Crimea and Sevastopol "even stronger," Putin said.
The so-called connects the Crimea with the Russian Krasnodar edge. Its construction began in 2015. The general contractor was the company "Stroygadazontazh" of the Russian billionaire Arkady Rotenberg, which is called Putin's close friend. The official value of the state contract is almost 230 billion rubles.
Russian President Dmitry Sadkov Press Secretary before the opening of the Crimean Bridge said: "It was Putin that was the initiator of this construction. Many did not believe in the realizability of these plans, and Putin once again demonstrated that even the most ambitious plans in its execution can be implemented." According to Peskov, "and in practical terms, and from the point of view of symbolism, today is an extremely important day."
The opening of the Crimean Bridge covers in detail Russian state television channels. In particular, on the air of the channel "Russia-24", before the arrival of Putin, they spoke about the "perfectly level roadbed", the sensors that "follow the state of the design", and also that in the case of an earthquake to be on the bridge "much safer than On the usual road. "
It was expected that Russian pop artists would take part in Kerch in the solemn opening ceremony of the Crimean Bridge. However, on Tuesday, it became known that neither Joseph Kobzon nor Lev Leshchenko nor Alexander Buynov nor Oleg Gazmanov would come to the ceremony. Kobzon explained this by a bad flight organization to Crimea. "They could organize it normal, and not a military transport aircraft ... Let the youth go to open the Crimean Bridge," said the singer to the Russian TV channel "360".
In 2016, the US Department of Finance introduced sanctions against construction contractors Kerch Bridge. Kiev, in turn, began to prepare a lawsuit against Russia demanding to compensate the losses that Ukrainian ports carry.
The prosecutor's office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, based in Kiev, in connection with the construction of the bridge opened a criminal case. The agency claims that the object is elevated "in violation of the requirements of the Water Code of Ukraine and the norms of international law." In addition, according to Ukrainian prosecutors, the bridge "represents a serious danger of the ecology of the Black and Azov seas: pollution, violation of natural reproduction of aquatic bioresources and their destruction."

While the passenger cars, buses and construction equipment can move along the bridge. Opening freight traffic scheduled for October 2018. Railway communication is expected to be opened in a year.
The moment I was looking forward to on both sides of the Kerch Strait - the Crimean Bridge is open to trucks. Now deliver products, building materials and other goods from the mainland on the peninsula and can be much faster and cheaper - transport companies No need to pay for the ferry. The first wagons went on the bridge at midnight.
From Yalta in Voronezh less than a day. Previously, only to cross through the Kerch Strait, did not leave one day. During the storms of the ferries had to wait for weeks.
"Now yesterday I was transferred; At 9 o'clock he became in the sump, bought tickets, I crossed at 4 o'clock in the evening, late for unloading. And through the bridge, I think for half an hour we will go through the strait, "the driver is rejoiced by Sergey Zibynik.
The A-290 route from the Crimea to the Krasnodar region and back is not found for "dear life." Just look at how the number of trucks lined up in order to get among the first to drive through the Crimean Bridge! The turn stretched a few kilometers away - from Simferopol almost to Kerch, to councils. And now the road from one to the other side has become really closer, not only for cars and passenger buses, but also for heavy trucks.
I was looking forward to this moment on both sides of the Kerch Strait. Many, like Andrei Shihanov, since last Thursday. At the peninsula brought construction Materials on a ferryboat. Home, in Stavropol, returns with Crimean fruits and already on the bridge.
"The men, honestly, can not believe, before the days stood, waited for the crossing, now 17-18 minutes - we are on the beach, beautiful!" - says Driver Andrei Shiyanov.
The dream became a reality exactly at midnight. All restrictions on the passage of cars with the maximum allowed mass over 3.5 tons took off with road signs.
In the Taman shore, traffic police inspectors offer truckers Crimean bridge to taste before driving - they treat the cake.
Decorating the cockpit with balloons, cargo streams simultaneously moved on both sides. From the Krasnodar Territory, Eugene is visiting the products to the Crimean trading networks. And then - Feodosia, Simferopol and Sevastopol. Eugene delivers the goods on the route the Tavrida highway under construction. Now she is two-way - because of road work Many congestion, but by 2020 it will be expanded to four lanes.
Travel on the bridge saves not only time, but also money. Transportation of wagons on the sea crossing in both directions accounted for almost 40 thousand rubles. On the bridge - the fare is free.
"Now the cost of transportation will be removed from the cost of freight. Now the delivery will be faster, and the logistics will be completely different, and the cargo will be delivered correctly and faster, "the head of the Crimean branch of the Russian Association of carriers Nikolai Maksimenko notes.
Crimean farmers expect that together with the opening of the cargo in the bridge, new sales markets will open. Fruits and vegetables can be delivered much cheaper and exactly on time.
"We grow our products, we could not sell it anywhere, she disappeared. Now we can download all the wagons big and send to the mainland, "says Alexander Degtyarev.
Since mid-May, when a movement over Kerch Strait was opened, more than two million cars and buses were drove along the bridge. It is much more than the ferry transfer transported for the entire 2017 year.
Cargo transport was allowed immediately after graduating from the high resort season, in order not to overload the road on both sides of the strait. In parallel, the automotive is built railway bridge. The first kilometers of the paths, for which passenger and cargo compounds, already in 2019, will go back in Crimea.
