The first working year in the bridge’s history passed normally with no incidents and the connection between the mainland and the peninsula was not interrupted, despite frequent storms and attempted provocations staged by the Ukraine and its Western colonial masters in the Kerch Strait.

The overall bridge statistics as of May 15, 2019 on the first anniversary of the operation of the road section of the Crimean bridge are as follows according to the source site above.

5,000,000 cars, including nearly 500,000 trucks and more than 60,000 buses, travelled the span of the Crimean Bridge in 12 months. The annual traffic exceeded the number of ferry crossings in 2017 by more than 3 times.

Technical Figures and Specifications of the Crimean Bridge

19 km - the length of the bridge (it is the longest in Russia and Europe)

The Crimean Bridge joins the Great Wall of China as an object visible from space. 408 km above the Earth on the ISS the Crimean Bridge is clearly visible and was photographed by the Cosmonauts on many occasions.

The volume of designplans and documentation stands at 570 volumes or 30 gigabytes.

15,000 engineers and construction workers took part in the building of the bridge at the peak of construction.

The oldest construction worker was 70 years old.

Almost 7,000 piles were driven to a depth of from 12 to 105 m (the height of a 35-story building)

The wall thickness of the tubular piles used in the construction of the bridge is 40 mm, approximately the same thickness as the armor of some tanks.

25 days was spent on the driving of the first pile (bridge support). After mastering the technological aspects the remaing piles took less than 24 hoursto be driven into place.

816 days were spent on the construction of the road vehicles section of the bridge.

330 km is the length of all of the tubular piles used to make the bridge if they were placed in a line. This is further than the distance from Kerch to Sevastopol by car.

595 supports hold 260,000 tons of metal spans, the equivalent of 36 Eiffel towers.

One rail span weighs more than 500 tons. 1.4 times heavier than the ISS.

118 km of butt welds/joints were completed during the assembly of the railway spans the approximate distance from Koktebel to Simferopol if traveling by car.

13,000 km of steel reinforcement were used to make the 4-lane roadbed. Approximately the same distance from Moscow to Sydney.

250 meters of reinforcement were wleded together by each worker during every shift.

10,000 tons is the weight of two arched spans. Approximately the weight of 400 empty KAMAZ dump trucks.

76 km is the length of the rails on the bridge if they were placed in a line. About as much as from Moscow to Chekhov by car.

227 m is the length of each arch. The length of two football fields.

490 tons of high-strength bolts were used to tighten down the two arches. Approximately the same weight as three Boeing 747 aircraft. One bolt weighs 63 grams weighs.

100,000 liters of paint went into painting the two arches. The same as are two railway tankers.

A total of 120 hours (5 days) was spent on the marine operation involving the transportation and installation of the two arches on the supports.

12 million tons of materials and structures in total were required the construction of the bridge. This is twice the weight of the Egyptian Pyramids of Cheops.

20,000 cars drove across the bridge in the first day of its operation, 200,000 in the first 2 weeks and 5 million in its first 12 months of operation.

More than 30,000 cars in 24 hours is the one day record of the bridge.

117 km of road marking lines were painted on the bridge. Approximately as much as from Sevastopol to Alushta.

1 time during construction an ice drift occurred. The ice floes freely passed between the bridge supports.

2,700 storm hours were recorded during 3 winters of construction. Almost 113 days or about 4 months.

Nearly 2,500 songs and poems have been dedicated to the bridge by authors from 600 locations in 15 countries.

3 species of dolphins live in the area of ​​the bridge: bottlenose dolphin, azovka and white-barrel.
