Abstract

That Russia is potentially great transport power becomes obvious if look to map of any route. The geographical position of the Russian Federation unequivocally specifies intended by nature the role of geobridge between the countries of Asia-Pacific Region and Europe. However, in construction engineering practice and feasibility study the construction of difficult and strategically important bridges is generally joins in wider concept of bridge crossing. The last includes not only actually the bridge(through the river, gulf, etc.), but also approaches to it, which construction in view of features of a relief and a configuration of new transport communications which have already developed and subject to construction not less difficult technically and not only economically expended, than building of the basic artificial construction.
