The work at the Selemdzha River has to stop from time to time to let the flood water through. Three breaks occurred this summer only, however, the bridge builders promise that all the projects will be commissioned on time, in February 2016. Local residents and the employees with the Malomyr and Albyn gold ore mines are looking forward to the traffic opening. In addition, the new route will be an impetus to exploration and development of the Ogodzha coal-bearing area.
