The Amur Bridge Project is an international Sino-Russian bridge construction project that was first proposed in 2007 by Valery Solomonovich Gurevich, the vice-chairman of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast. Projected start dates for the actual construction to begin have ranged from 2007 to 2014, with no officially projected construction start date currently available (as of 2013). The bridge would link Nizhneleninskoye (in Russian: Нижнеленинское) in the Jewish Autonomous Oblast with Tongjiang (in Chinese: 同江) in Heilongjiang Province. The 2,197-meter-long bridge, would require an estimated investment of nearly US$230 million Gurevich said.
