To build a bridge, a pontoon crossing was constructed across the River Belaya in Bashkortostan

At Vostretsovo in the Buraevsky District of the Republic of Bashkortostan, as part of construction stage 1 of the new high-speed Dyurtyuli–Achit road, an extension of the M-12 highway from Kazan to Yekaterinburg, preparatory works for the construction of a bridge over the River Belaya were completed.

The construction of this bridge was discussed at a meeting attended by Mars Gazizullin, First Deputy Chairman of the Board of Avtodor State Company, Alan Marzaev, Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of Bashkortostan, Ramil Shaidullin, Director General of Avtodor Construction Company LLC (Avtodor CC LLC), and other project participants.

Construction of access roads, provision of catering and lodging for construction workers, creation of new jobs for the residents of nearby areas of the Republic and the other topics were considered at the meeting.

The main artificial structure (AS) of construction stage 1 in the Buraevsky District of the Republic is the bridge over the River Belaya, the largest tributary of the Kama, which is more than 800 meters long. When choosing a place for erecting the bridge, the following aspects were taken into account, such as navigation conditions, riverbank features and the fact that specially protected natural areas and oil and gas fields are located in this territory.

Access roads, internal construction site roads and technological sites have been arranged to the construction site of the out-of-class bridge, equipment has been relocated, building materials have been purchased and delivered. A pontoon crossing was constructed on a temporary basis, drilling is in progress, and piles are being put in place to form its base. Construction works are performed on a two-shift basis.

At the 140th km of stage 1 of the Dyurtyuli–Achit road passing through the Dyurtyulinsky, Buraevsky and Tatyshlinsky Districts of the Republic of Bashkortostan, it is intended to build 14 overpasses in the main route section, 18 overpasses over the main route, and 15 bridges, including those spanning the rivers Evbaza, Tibil, Apasha, Yandovka, and Belaya.
