The ring road-2 around St. Petersburg will be built with a bridge across the Neva.
The first phase of the new ring road will be more than 80 kilometers.
The project was discussed at a meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Husnoulin. According to him, the current ring road currently carries up to 200,000 cars a day, so the new route should take over transit traffic and ease congestion on the city's roads.
In total, in the first phase they plan to build more than 40 artificial structures. The work will be carried out by the state company Avtodor.
