The construction of the road bridge between Russia and North Korea is nearing completion, with traffic across it to begin soon, said Russian Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, co-chair of the intergovernmental commission on trade, economic, scientific, and technical cooperation between Russia and North Korea Alexander Kozlov.
– “This year has already been marked by a number of significant events. We are completing the construction of the road bridge across the Tumannaya River, and traffic will begin on it very soon,” he said at a reception hosted by North Korea’s embassy to mark the 81st anniversary of Korea’s liberation from Japanese colonial rule.
– In April 2026, the connection of the road bridge span across the Tumannaya River on the Russia-North Korea border was completed. The total length of the bridge crossing will be nearly 5 km, with the bridge itself spanning 1 km. It will feature two traffic lanes. Russia’s Transport Ministry has said that 70 personnel and 30 pieces of machinery are deployed for the work on the Russian side.
