VLADIVOSTOK, June 23, vladivostoktimes.com The constructors will start to built cables for the bridge over the Golden Horn Bay in Vladivostok this November.  Cable is guaranteed to work over 100 years. But according to the estimations this bridge will function well even five hundred years, as the Primorsky Territory Administration press service reported to RIA PrimaMedia.

“Today the cable is being constructed in France. There are no such producing companies in Russia” as the Primorsky Territory Department of Road Administration reported.

192 cables – wire which links road with towers – are necessary for construction. The total length of the cable will be 42 kilometers and the length of all inner ropes of all cable will be equal to the distance between Vladivostok and Khabarovsk (1497 kilometers).

The bridge over the Bosfor Vostochny to Russian Island is also in the list. It’s being constructed in Vladivostok today in the framework of preparation to APEC Summit-2012.
