Ad Hoc Working Group will prepare terms of reference for the design of the bridge Sakhalin-Continent

Plenipotentiary Representative of President of the Russian Federation in the Far East Federal District Viktor Ishayev at a meeting with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin proposed the creation of a working group to prepare terms of reference for the development of bridge construction project Sakhalin-continent. As RIA PrimaMedia in the office of the Plenipotentiary Representative of RF President in the Far-Eastern, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin instructed the Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov and Transport Minister Igor Levitin to study this proposal envoy. According to Viktor Ishayev, the lack of reliable transport Sakhalin-continent prevents the development of integration processes with the Asia-Pacific region makes it difficult to address issues related to the development of the Far East and the national security of Russia. The solution to these problems, he believes, is possible with the project of construction of the bridge rail transition Sakhalin-continent. The project is included in the Strategy of development of railway transport in Russia until 2030 and the Strategy of socio-economic development of the Far East and the Baikal region in 2025. Victor Ishayev noted that the design works in the near future and in the subsequent project to build a bridge crossing the Sakhalin-continent as possible will use the human potential and capacity of the construction industry involved in the construction of bridges across the Golden Horn and Bosphorus East. Earlier it was planned that the design of the bridge will begin only in 2015, however, the government proposed to transfer the work of Sakhalin in the earlier period, starting in 2011.
