Of these 17.2 billion rubles will be financed from the federal budget the rest - from the regional budget.In May Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the Cabinet of Ministers to allocate federal funds for the construction of a bridge in Blagoveshchensk ahead of the plan already in 2020 to speed up the completion of work.

This is indisputable and both regional and federal authorities operate in this logic commented Russian Minister for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic Alexander Kozlov.The issue of building the bridge was discussed during the conversation between Mikhail Mishustin and the Governor of the Amur Region Vasily Orlov as part of the August working trip of the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation to the Far East.
