Crimean railways will be deployed to Kerch
Moscow - Simferopol, April 21 (Navigator, Mikhail Stamm) - To redirect passenger and cargo flows on the peninsula bypassing Ukraine, it will be necessary to reconstruct the Dzhankoy-Feodosia-Kerch railway line and, possibly, build a new Feodosia-Simferopol road.

Now the main cargo and passenger traffic to Crimea goes through Ukraine from the north, through Perekop and the Chongarsky crossing, the branches connect in Dzhankoy. The construction of a bridge bypassing Ukraine will require a significant strengthening of the line to Kerch, the capacity of which is very limited.
First Deputy Prime Minister of Crimea Rustam Temirgaliev told Kommersant that the bet will be placed on the construction of a bridge across the Kerch Strait and, as a result, the Kerch-Feodosia-Dzhankoy railway line with a length of 207 km will be strengthened. It is assumed that the bridge will be road and rail. In addition, the issue of constructing a direct line Simferopol-Feodosia (about 120 km) with a connection to the line to Kerch is being discussed, Mr. Temirgaliev added.
