The President Bridge

The President Bridge is a support bridge that traverses the Volga stream in Ulyanovsk Oblast, Russia, interfacing the city of Ulyanovsk with the east side of the Ulyanovsk Oblast. It is the second longest bridge in Russia, and one of the longest bridges in Europe, with a length of 5.825 kilometers 3.619 mi, and 12.98 kilometers 8.07 mi including the interfacing expressway. The new bridge was worked as the maturing Ulyanovsk Bridge could never again adapt to the developing traffic. It was built as a piece of a government modernization program and went for connecting the European piece of Russia with the Urals, Siberia and the Far East.

The structure of the bridge started in 1980, and the development in 1986, initially intended to take nine years. The primary columns were introduced in 1988, and the main range in 1992. The opening function occurred on 24 November 2009, and was gone to by the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Ilham Aliyev, President of Azerbaijan. At this stage just the initial segment of the bridge was opened; the lower level of the bridge is booked to open in 2012. It took over 23 years to assemble the bridge; finishing was deferred fundamentally because of absence of financing and monetary troubles following Russia's progress after the fall of the Soviet Union.
