Second railway track connects Amur Gas Processing Plant and Trans-Siberian Railway
Working traffic has been opened on the second railway track which connects the construction site of the Amur Gas Processing Plant (GPP) and the Trans-Siberian Railway. A 460-meter stretch of road is used to deliver an increasing flow of goods to the site.
Connection to the public tracks is one of the key facilities of the large-scale railway infrastructure of the Amur GPP. To date, it includes two railway stations: Zavodskaya-2 (located next to the existing Ust-Pyora station, 17 km from the construction site) and Zavodskaya (located next to the site of the Amur GPP), a 12 km stretch between the stations, a railway bridge over the Bolshaya Pyora river and an overpass through a section of the regional highway.
