First road bridge connecting Russia and North Korea to open next year... a symbol of close ties between the two countries

Construction of a road bridge connecting North Korea and Russia has made significant progress over the past six months, and it is expected to open in the first quarter of next year.
Construction of the first road bridge connecting North Korea and Russia is underway as the two countries grow closer following North Korea's entry into the Ukraine war.
"Beyond Parallel," a North Korea-focused website run by the US think tank Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), said that based on satellite photos taken on the 14th of this month, "the bridge is at least 1.3 km long."
The bridge will connect the Tuman River Station in North Korea with the Khasan region in Russia.
Construction of the Tumen River Motor Vehicle Bridge is said to have begun in April of this year, and was completed in June of last year by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
The agreement was reached at a summit meeting between North Korea and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Currently, there is a railway bridge between North Korea's Tumen River Station and Russia's Khasan Station for trains, but there is no road for cars.
There are currently no roads available.
