It was in early June the railway bridge across the Kola River collapsed as the spring flood destroyed one of the pillars in the water.
The railway is of utmost importance for Russia’s commercial cargo flow to the port of Murmansk, but also for the numerous military bases on the coast to the Barents Sea and in the Pechenga valley near the border to Norway.
This week, specialists of the railway and engineering troops from the Western Military District were ordered to assist in the construction of an alternative railway link. A 5,7 km long circumvention of the bridge is being built by connecting the existing track to the new railway line to Lavina.
The new bypass is estimated to open in the last week of June and will serve traffic until the bridge itself is restored, likely not before in October.
More than 100 military personnel from the difference between computer science and computer engineering separate railway bridge are working on-site, the press service of the Western Military District informs.
