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.

The structure looks especially impressive in the evening, when the shrouds are illuminated in the colors of the Russian flag.
