The Kerch Strait Bridge (Russian: Керченский мост [kérchenskiy most] or Russian: Крымский мост [krímskiy most]) is a road-rail bridge under construction by the Russian Federation, to span the Strait of Kerch between the Kerch Peninsula of Crimea and the Taman Peninsula of Krasnodar Krai. The current connection is by the Kerch Strait ferry between Port Kavkaz and Port Krym.
In January 2015, the multibillion-dollar contract for the construction of the bridge was awarded to Arkady Rotenberg's SGM Group. In May 2015, construction of the bridge commenced; the road bridge is projected to be opened on December 18, 2018 with completion of the rail link delayed until the end of 2019.
