Programs for the development of the Baikal-Amur and Trassiberian railway lines.
In the course of the work, "almost 30 turnouts, 15 km of contact suspension, three receiving and departure tracks for 71 conventional cars" were equipped, which will allow the necessary cargo to be transported in the Nizhneleninskoye-Tongjiang direction. In the future, the transported volumes will amount to 10 million tons of cargo per year.
The work performed will allow the operation of the Nizhneleninskoye-Tongjiang bridge, which will carry cargo to the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation." The Nizhneleninskoye-Tongjiang Bridge is the first railway bridge that will connect Russia and China.
The Nizhneleninskoye-Tongjiang bridge, 2.2 km long, has two standard gauges for Russian and Chinese trains. The bridge will reduce the distance of cargo delivery from Russia to northeast China and back by 700 km.
According to calculations, at the first stage, the cargo turnover of the transport crossing will be 5.2 million tons, but later it will grow to 20 million tons.
