This new bridge connects the Taman Peninsula, in southern Russia, to the Ukrainian peninsula of Kerch, in Crimea, annexed by Moscow in March 2014. The Russian President thus inaugurated the 19 kilometer work of art – the longest in Europe – of high strategic value for Moscow. The “Kertch Bridge” or “Crimean Bridge” came out of the water in a time record – just over three years – for meet both practical and geopolitical needs.
