The construction of the Arkhangelsky Bridge has been completed ahead of schedule: initially, it was planned to open the bridge in 2025. The opening of the second bridge in Cherepovets will divert traffic from the Oktyabrsky Bridge, which until now has been the only bridge in the city.
The launch of a new automobile road will encourage active development of areas beyond the Sheksna River, connect four large districts of Cherepovets, make it possible to organise ring traffic of public transport, and also significantly improve access to the Severstal and Apatit industrial sites.
