The workshop was attended by Russian and international experts, including over 100 specialists from the largest Russian bridge construction companies, clients of transport projects, design and research companies, construction contractors as well as Russian and foreign manufacturers of dedicated equipment and machinery. The delegates had an opportunity to visit the project site.

The design and erection method of the Ob River Bridge do not have analogues in the world practice: the central span is a network arch, 380 m long and 70 m high. The arch span was launched at a 45o angle. The experts from a Swiss company VSL are now monitoring installation of the cable system.
