The bridge over the Oka River in the city of Murom in the Vladimir Region on the M-12 Vostok highway is the first cable-braced bridge on the network of high-speed highways of the Avtodor State Company.
On December 21 of 2023, the traffic was launched on the span of M-12 Vostok from Moscow to Kazan. The highway runs via the territory of five regions: Moscow, Vladimir, Nizhny Novgorod Regions, the Chuvash Republic and the Republic of Tatarstan.
The M-12 Vostok high-speed highway is a part of the Europe - Western China international transportation route. The length of the highway is more than 800 km. In the course of construction, more than 300 artificial structures were built, including three unique bridges: a cable-braced bridge over the Oka River, a one-piece bridge over the Sura River and a 3-km long bridge over the Volga River. The M-12 Vostok highway has 19 traffic interchanges with federal and major regional highways.
The postage stamp provides an image of the bridge over the Oka River on the M-12 Vostok highway in the Vladimir Region.
