The Sakha Republic Railway Company has approved the construction of a new railway bridge between China and Russia over the Amur river connecting Mohe, in China, with Dzhalinda, in Russia.
The China Industry Overseas Development Association (CODA) will carry out the follow-up construction of the new international corridor in the Russian Far East which will pass through Mohe, Dzhalinda, Skovorodino, Yakutsk and finally, arrive at the port of Magadan. This is the 2nd rail bridge across the Amur River, the 1st is the 7,194-m Tongjiang Bridge, a box-girder building located roughly 1,300 km east of Mohe.
The project aims to enhance the Eastern Railway's ability to export commodities from South Yakutia to 10 million tonnes per annum. It also intends to connect the transportation chain to Yakutia without transshipment.
