The main steel stiffening girder of the bridge over the Eastern Bosphorus Strait in Vladivostok is now beyond the 800-meters milestone after paired panel number 37-38 has been lifted to the 70-meter elevation from the strait water on the Russky Island side.

As a result of this operation, the cantilevered part of the steel stiffening girder on the Russky Island side extends now over a distance of 390 meters from the M7 Pylon centerline toward the mainland. A total of 414 meters of the span deck have been installed on the Nazimov Peninsula side where paired panel number 39-40 has been lifted to the elevation of 70 meters. The total length of the opposed cantilever sections of the main steel stiffening girder is now 804 meters or 72.8% of the total length of the 1104-meter long channel span of the bridge to the Russky Island.
