The Amur Bay Bridge in Vladivostok, Russia, over Amur Bay
The construction of the Amur Bay Bridge proceeds from the De Friz Peninsula.

The Amur Bay Bridge (Russian: Мост через Амурский залив) is the low-water bridge in Vladivostok, Russia, that connects the De Frieze Peninsula with the vicinity of the Sedanka microdistrict (микрорайон Седанка) of the Muravyov-Amursky Peninsula, and is part of the highway “Novy Village (Новый) - Peninsula De Friz (Де-Фриз) - Sedanka Station (Седанка) - Patroclus Bay (Патрокл)”. It is one of the three large bridges completed for the 2012 APEC Summit in Vladivostok, the other two being the Russky Bridge and the Zolotoy Bridge.[1]

Specifics of the bridge

  • Length of the bridge - 4,364 meters
  • Number of lanes - 4
  • Transport levels - 1
  • Maximum speed - 90 kilometers per hour[2]

The four-lane highway has become an alternative exit from the city. A new type of lighting system was implemented on the bridge - about 260 LED lamps manufactured by GreenEC were installed.[3]

Project history

The construction of the bridge began in November 2009 in preparation for the 2012 APEC Summit in Vladivostok. The Pacific Bridge Construction Company («Тихоокеанская мостостроительная компания») acted as the general contractor. The grand opening and commissioning of the facility took place on August 11, 2012.
