The best option for a bridge or tunnel to connect the Taman Peninsula in Russia with the Crimea Peninsula across the Kerch Strait will be chosen by the end of 2014.
According to Russia's Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov, the feasibility study will focus on several options, including a road bridge, a road-rail bridge and a tunnel project.
According to Deputy Transport Minister Sergey Aristov, the construction cost estimated at US$3 billion is within the agreed budget. It may be implemented via a public-private partnership. RZD is willing to join the project.
