en.Wedoany.com Reported - The major repair of the Eastern Bypass (Восточный объезд) road overpass in Nizhnevartovsk, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Russia, is approximately 80% complete. The contractor is JSC Mostostroy-11 (АО "Мостострой-11"). Construction crews have dismantled the old overpass structure, completed pile foundations, piers, and approach roads, and erected the main beams. Work is currently underway on laying the road base layer.

Nizhnevartovsk, located in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, is a major oil industry hub in Western Siberia with a population of about 280,000. The city developed around the Samotlor oil field and is a key hub for Russian oil production. The Eastern Bypass overpass is a vital traffic artery connecting Nizhnevartovsk with regional roads, handling a large volume of traffic heading to other cities in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug and Tomsk Oblast.

This major repair is part of Nizhnevartovsk's comprehensive road improvement plan, aimed at upgrading the road to standard quality levels and ensuring public travel safety. The project is also included in the regional plan "Development Map of Yugra" (Карта развития Югры) for the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.

Simultaneously, Nizhnevartovsk is advancing other road repair works. Under the national project "Infrastructure for Life" (Инфраструктура для жизни), asphalt resurfacing is underway on a section of Severnaya Street (улица Северная). The surface replacement on a section of Geroyev Samotlora Street (улица Героев Самотлора) has been completed. Funding for these works comes from the regional budget. Additionally, continuous asphalt laying is being carried out in other areas of the city, including internal municipal roads. Pothole patching and rut removal on the city's road network are also planned.

All work on the Eastern Bypass overpass is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. Upon completion of this major repair, the traffic capacity and driving safety of this section will be effectively improved, strengthening transport links between Nizhnevartovsk and surrounding areas.
