The Russian Highways State Company is in the process of launching a project for the construction of the first section of the Dzhugba-Sochi Highway along the Black Sea coast - the Adler Bypass.
Artificial structures will be erected in arduous conditions of challenging terrain, and tunnels will be built right through the mountain range. To accomplish the project, extraordinary technical solutions are to be devised. The Adler Bypass will become one of the most important infrastructure projects for unleashing the potential of the Black Sea coast and, in particular, Sochi.
