Fanfare as first major road bridge connecting Russia and China opens - Guardian News
Russia and China have opened a cross-border bridge linking the Russian city of Blagoveshchensk to the Chinese city of Heihe across the Amur river. According to the RIA news agency, the bridge is just over a kilometre long and cost 19bn roubles ($342m). The two countries hope it will further boost trade as Moscow reels from western sanctions imposed over its invasion of Ukraine.
