The launch of drivers in the "pure zone" of automotive trading began at 3.20 in the morning.
Motion first opened from the side of Kuban, after which the column of transport from Kerch went to meet.
The main flow of transport hurried to the bridge from the mainland, however, hundreds of cars came from the Crimea on the bridge. When the streams of cars met under the arches of the bridge, the drivers met each other with loud signals. At the same time, on the railway part of the bridge, which are still underway, builders already worked, who also welcomed the columns.

Recall that the solemn opening ceremony of the Crimean Bridge was held on May 15th. The movement along the bridge symbolically opened the column of cargo and construction equipment, headed by: The head of state drove along the bridge in 16 minutes 45 seconds.
Given the high interest in the construction of motorists, the Krymsky Bridge information center issued a special information memo in which drivers warned that there are no stops on the transport transition. At the same time, the speed of movement should not exceed 90 km / h.
In the infocenter asked motorists to follow the rules road On the bridge where video cameras are already working and reminded that the passage on the bridge is free.
As Rosavtodor's press service told, at the first stage, travel will be opened for cars with permitted maximum mass up to 3.5 tons.

Fortunately, this summer, every wishes will be able to drive into the Crimea by car without stopping: the opening of the Crimean bridge is scheduled for May, and President V.V. will come to open it Putin.

Latest touches in the construction of the Crimean Bridge
At the beginning of May, the road part of the Crimean bridge was 98 percent, builders stated about this, putting it into action is scheduled for the second half of May. The first on the bridge will be able to drive cars And passenger buses, freight transport can be done only at the end of the season, in the fall.
Finishing work on the bridge
The work on the bridge approached its final and does not stop for a minute: the last blocks of barrier fence are installed, the lighting masts are connected to the power grids, the architectural illumination of the bridge arch is mounted, the laid asphalt is cleansed, the electronic sensors are tested and road signs are tested.
Almost finished drawing of road thermoplastic markup and installation of noise shields. They made from fiberglass to preserve the possibility of review will be fencing the councils that residents of neighboring settlements do not hear the noise of transport. Protective screens when entering the bridge will be metallic, it is done at the insistence of ecologists so that the birds from the neighboring lakes saw the barrier and did not break.
Readiness of counseling
The length of the councils on the side of Kuban is 40 kilometers, and together with congresses and unions - 53.4 kilometers. But in May, the Kuban auto-order will earn not all - transport junctions will not be put into operation, except for one, at 34 kilometers, there is now just ends arrangement and landscaping.
On both sides of the bridge at 26 kilometers, recreation sites and multifunctional gas stationsAnd on both sides of the bridge, inspection points will soon be commissioned for transport.
Ready of Astdia
The automated road control system is already working in the test mode. To ensure the safety of motion not only on the bridge, but also on auto-sends, and it is 70 kilometers, the operators track the stream of machines not only on computers, but also on a huge panel that highlights all the parameters of the bridge.
The ASUDD was developed on the basis of Russian innovative technologies, and its main task is to control the movement and comprehensive control, including compliance with traffic rules, weight control and transportation and tracking tracking.
The transport stream monitoring system will be collected from sensors information about the flow rate, motion interval, load load and classify transport, which will give the opportunity to choose a movement control program over the bridge.
Control the execution of traffic rules will be 19 camcorders and ten automatic control complexes. Information about violations will come to traffic police posts, which will definitely stop the actions of the violator.
Automatic meteorological stations will determine the wind power, air temperature and its humidity, which ultimately will tell about the state of the road, so, and road services, and motorists will be aware of the icing of the canvas, fog or strong wind. The program itself will analyze all the data and give its forecast a few hours before the onset of unfavorable conditions. The main dispatcher will be left to choose the right action of actions for roads and drivers.
The system will not only be listed about the accident, but also will help the drivers find a way out, showing information on the scoreboard (there are seven on the bridge) if the traffic strip is blocked - they will be able to reset the speed and rebuild into another row.
Another system is observing the structures of the bridge itself in case of deformation of their transport, hurricane wind or earthquake. If several factors coincide, and the situation will become critical, the sensors will instantly respond, then the movement can be stopped by dispatchers.
Railway part of the bridge
The construction of the railway part of the bridge continues, and according to the plan will be completed by the end of the year.
Now the last pipe piles are plunged, the foundations of the supports will be filled. Already going to build spans - collected 40 thousand tons metal structures, Prepared sections for shutters. When the spans are ready, the laying of the sleeper and the rail from Tamani will begin.
Opening date of the Crimean Bridge - in May 2018
Great news for everyone who is interested when opening the bridge in the Crimea for cars! Construction comes with a timing advance. If initially it was planned that the movement will be allowed only at the end of 2018, now the deadlines moved. Initially, representatives of the contractor said that the Kerch Bridge will be discovered in early May. However, according to information at the end of April, the discovery had to be transferred. The new date is the second half or the end of May. The plans are also in the plans that the president will come to open the Crimean Bridge. Representatives of the "Stroygazmontazh" company, which is responsible for the construction, assure that by the beginning of the tourist season, everyone will be able to get on the peninsula on a car without ferry crossing.
The bridge itself is over by more than 90%, but the road infrastructure of the Crimea itself does not have time for the builders. While there is an emergency room to be made by Kerch, there are also construction of trails that will link the bridge with Simferopol, Sevastopol, Yalta to bypass major cities and will avoid traffic jams. According to the authorities of the republic, it is important not only to launch the bridge, but also to avoid a transport collapse so that tourists do not leave the Crimea with negative feedback.
In the first months, only passenger cars and buses will be able to ride in the Crimean Bridge without restrictions. The movement for trucks promise to run in the fall, and the rails will start laying at the end of the year. The track "Tavrida", which will connect Sevastopol and Kerch, while only being built, so tourists need to be prepared that the problems with the roads on the peninsula itself are not yet solved.
Movement scheme over the bridge in Crimea
The Ministry of Transport foresees that during the summer holidays in the Crimea through Taman, many Russians will want to get. In order to prevent traffic jams and high loads on the bridge, it was decided to compile a movement scheme.
When they open the Crimean Bridge over the Kerch Strait, the first buses and passenger cars will go on it. Due to the fact that the bridge will be built in a more compressed time than planned, this will happen in the spring of 2018! Cargo transport will be able to move around the Kerch bridge on schedule, mostly at night. The exception will be done only for special transport serving the construction of the bridge. By the end of the year, all four bands will earn, and the bandwidth will be 40 thousand cars per day.
Despite the fact that transporting junctions with the rest of the road network are not completed yet, in May on the shore of Tamani from the A-290 route to the Crimean bridge will begin to work through the road. On the Crimean side at this time, the auto-site will start working from the bridge to the junction with the Taurid's track. From here the movement of the vehicle will continue on the acting track Kerch-Simferopol.
When new bands of the Tavrid route are entered into operation, councils to the bridge will be operated, and the restriction for cargo transport will be removed.
In 2019, a parallel railway bridge will be opened. It will carry, according to preliminary estimates, more than 14 million passengers per year.
What do builders do a month before the opening date of the Crimean bridge?
At the moment, work is underway to improve the safety and environmental safety of the bridge. In order to reduce the noise load, on the adjacent on both sides to the Kerch Strait plots set the acoustic screens with a height of 3-6 meters. The same screens on both sides will be installed on the bridge itself: a length of 700 meters from Tamani and 1300 meters from the Kerch shore.
According to experts, the noise panels are made of stainless steel, and the plates from mineral wool will absorb the noise. The panel is very resistant to fire, water and wind, and for anti-vandal security "answer" the ribs installed at the meter distance from each other.
Reduced acoustic load will help and trees planted at the entrance to the bridge in a special scheme. The same screens will be installed on the railway bridge when he will be ready to go into operation. Noise screens will be installed on automotive approaches to the bridge on both sides, the area of \u200b\u200bprotective screens will be 25 thousand m² on each side.
It will not be left without additional protection and the bridge itself - on the facade of the arch, the fairings are mounted, which will be able to remove the impact of wind on the arched span and make travel on the bridge comfortable. The fact is that wind speed just at the level of the roadway through the arch can reach 40 meters per second. After testing, the shape of the fairings as at the aircraft wing was designed. The protection against aerodynamic phenomena consists of 190 elements of structures and is similar to cornice on the facade. It is noteworthy that they were mounted from the arch, the movement of ships for the strait was not limited.
By the end, the arrangement of the road is also suitable: the barrier fence and all lighting are established. When the road to the road will be waterproofing, it will be possible to start laying the finish road coat. So the moment when the Kerch bridge is open, not far off.
What is the unique Crimean Bridge?
The idea of \u200b\u200bthrowing the bridge through the strait existed before. In the 11th century, the prince of Gleb occurred, in 1870, the British, in the early 20th century - Nikolai second, in 1942 - Germans, but construction began only in 1944. He was built, they even went through goods through it, but since the wooden piles were also involved in addition to metallic, the bridge could not stand the ice drift and was disassembled, did not become repaired. Instead of the bridge, it was arranged to cross, which regularly worked all the years, but finishes its existence in May 2018.
The Crimean Bridge is unique in many indicators:
- the length of his arches is 227 meters, the height is 45 meters, and the weight is 5 thousand tons;
- the sizes of the passage under the bridge are 185 m in width and 35 m in height;
- on painting the arch left 46 thousand liters of anti-corrosion paint;
- the arch is equipped with viewing strokes, lightning protection, alarm;
- the bridge will be able to withstand an earthquake of 9.1 points without any problems;
- construction without days off is building a team of 13 thousand people.
When they open the Crimean Bridge in May 2018, it will become the longest structure in Russia. Its length will be 19 km - True, 11.5 of them will be held by land.
By the way, the Crimean bridge even has his own mascot! The cat's bridge carefully monitors the works and adores to pose against the background of piles.
