A large-scale construction is carried out both on land and in the water area. On the left bank of the Samara River, builders have begun the pre-assembly of the third part of the bridge superstructure. The first two, with a total length of 196.5 m, have been already pushed longitudinally towards the right bank. The construction of piers No.3 and No.4 also continues. Six of the eight bridge supports across the Samara River have been completed by now.
