Project on construction of railway approaches to Kerch Strait bridge obtains state expert approval
Glavgosexpertiza (state expert evaluation authority) says it has evaluated and approved the project documentation and findings of the engineering survey under Phase I of Taman seaport dry cargo district.
Phase I implies the construction and reconstruction of railway infrastructure facilities providing an access to the bridge being built across the Kerch Strait.
Construction of a dry cargo area at the seaport of Taman will not only ensure transport links with Crimea but will also serve as a foundation for the development of transport and logistics facilities in the Azov-Black Sea Basin and creation of a new deepwater port at the Taman peninsula which is to be integrated into international transport corridor Sever-Yug (North-South), says the statement.
The project is supposed to meet the deficit of transshipment facilities at Russian seaports of the Azov-Black Sea Basin with annual transshipment of 90 mln t of cargo at port Taman that will be able to accommodate vessels of up to 150,000 t in deadweight.
The project approved by Glavgosexpertiza provides for construction of a railway station and approaches to the port including approaches to the Kerch Strait Bridge from the Krasnodar Region side. Besides, it includes reconstruction of Vyshestebliyevskaya station and construction of other facilities.
