Russian Ambassador Pyongyang told Raya State News Agency.
The Bridge Association was determined during a visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin to North Korea in 2024, when the two countries signed a comprehensive agreement for the strategic partnership.
The road bridge will be built near the railway bridge “Friendship Bridge”, which was assigned in 1959 after the Korea War. An old wooden bridge was destroyed to cross the borders in the early twentieth century, but it was destroyed, according to the Russian media.
“The bridge has not started yet,” said Alexander Mattegora, Russia’s ambassador to North Korea.
“The parties do preparatory work, and they end in the project documents, and the formation of construction teams and equipment columns,” he said.
The road bridge, which was under discussion for years, will be 850 meters and will connect to the Russian road system.
Satellite image analysis company South Korea Si Analytics commented in a report on March 5 that working in the bridge and road communications has started.
“With the quick construction of this bridge after the current railway connection, the only clip between North Korea and RussiaA sharp increase in economic and social and army It is expected.
“This may lead to the gradual erosion of the effectiveness of international sanctions against North Korea and Russia.”
