Built for the APEC sum­mit. Depict­ed on a 2 thou­sand ruble ban­knote. For Rus­sia, the con­struc­tion of a bridge to Russky Island has become one of the most ambi­tious projects of recent decades. Pre­vi­ous­ly, the island could only be reached by fer­ry. The Russ­ian Bridge is one of the tallest cable-stayed bridges in the world. The struc­ture looks espe­cial­ly impres­sive in the evening, when the shrouds are illu­mi­nat­ed in the col­ors of the Russ­ian flag.
