Somewhat 3 ha lands will be cleared on Admiralteysky Island to start construction of Novo-Admiralteysky Bridge.
In total, transfer of Admiralteyskie Verfi capacities will cost RUR 3.5 bln. The city will compensate about RUR 1 bln; other RUR 2.5 bln will be taken from sale of the released area. It is planned to put the land plot for tender in the current year.

Novoadmiralteyskaya Verf will be capable to build ships with displacement up to 200,000 tons.
