Project Status:
Exit of the Central Siberian Railway to Kuzbass for the export of coal
The viaduct across the Biryulya river is designed on the Meret - Srednesibirskaya railway line. The new route was supposed to remove from the Trans-Siberian Railway the transportation of coal from the Kuzbass and the Kansko-Achinsky deposit, as well as complete the formation of the Central Siberian railway.
The length of the bridge is 457 m, the height of the supports is more than 52 m.
Since 1984, the construction of the Meret - Srednesibirskaya line began. However, it was mothballed at the final stage for economic reasons. In the late 1990s, the Altai - Kuzbass highway was built on the Meret - Srednesibirskaya highway.
