Putin: Crimean bridge will be built on time, with proper quality

MOSCOW. June 15 (Interfax) - The Crimean bridge over the Kerch Strait will be built on time and with proper quality, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

"The Crimean bridge is being built according to schedule, even slightly ahead of it, and therefore there are currently no doubts that all plans will be realized on time and, what is most important, with proper quality," he said during a Q&A session.

At the same time, the president spoke about the construction of access routes on both sides of the bridge.

"The work has generally begun, we will closely follow it, I hope it will be implemented as well," Putin said.

Without access routes the idea of building a bridge will be absurd and such a situation has to be prevented, he said.
