“Construction of the bridge, which reportedly costs around $100 million, began in March 2025 and is expected to open to traffic later this year. It supplements an existing railway bridge and for the first time, will enable vehicular traffic to cross between Russia and North Korea.”
“On the Russian side, a larger customs area is under construction. On the North Korean side of the bridge, a probable customs building stands at the end of the bridge and a likely cargo warehouse has been constructed nearby.”
“At North Korea’s current border trade crossings with China, a similar arrangement exists. Trucks from China can enter North Korea’s border area but cannot drive further into the country. Rather, they pick up and deposit goods at border warehouses. North Korean trucks then access these areas to pick up goods and transport them into the interior of the country.”
