RFE/RL data journalist Carlos Coelho has given us a nice inforgraphic on the building of Russia's bridge to the Crimean Peninsula:
Construction has started on the 19-kilometer bridge aimed at bypassing Ukraine that will connect Kerch, in annexed Crimea, to Russia. It's expected to open in December 2018. The connection is expected to cost the Russian budget some 283-349 billion rubles ($4.5-5.5 billion). A 40-km highway to link the new bridge with the Krasnodar region of Russia has also been announced.
