Russia’s government has ordered contractors to finish repairs to a key bridge linking annexed Crimea to Russia by July 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The bridge was damaged by a blast last Saturday which officials say left at least three people dead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Russia blamed Ukraine for the attack\u00a0but Kyiv has not said it was behind it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The 19km (12-mile) bridge, Europe’s longest, is a key supply route for Russian forces in Ukraine, but heavy goods vehicles are unable to use it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The explosion caused midway sections of one of the two carriageways of the bridge to collapse into the sea and also damaged the railway line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Currently, lorries are forced to queue for a ferry, in a process which is thought to take several days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The bridge has, however, been reopened for rail and light road traffic.<\/p>\n
