China completes its part of railway bridge to Russia

HARBIN - The main body of the Chinese part of the first cross-river railway bridge connecting the country with Russia was completed on Saturday, the construction contractor said.

Chinese workers put in place the last steel beam to connect bridge pillars on Saturday morning.

The bridge across the Heilongjiang River, known as the Amur River in Russia, will connect the city of Tongjiang, in northeastern China's Heilongjiang province, with Nizhneleninskoye in Russia.
