The new automobile bridge across the Samur River, which is an important transport artery connecting Azerbaijan and Russia, is half completed, Trend reports from the press conference of the Russian ambassador to Azerbaijan Mikhail Bocharnikov, held at Trend News Agency.
"The construction of the bridge across the Samur River continues. More than 50 percent of the work has been completed. The bridge will be ready by the end of this year or in the beginning of the coming year," the ambassador said.
