Russia's JSC Mostostroy-11 finishes construction of a cable-stayed arch bridge over the Irtysh River, part of a 4-lane motorway from Astana through Pavlodar to Ust-Kamenogorsk meant to link Kazakhstan with Russia and China. Measuring 12.3 km [76.4 miles] in length, it is the longest bridge in Central Asia. Vladimir Bugayev/TASS
