Construction of the approximately 66-kilometer-long northern bypass around Omsk began in October 2025 with the symbolic driving of the first pile for the future bridge across the Irtysh River. The first phase of construction of the new road is currently underway, announced Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
Construction of a temporary bridge across the Irtysh River on the northern bypass of Omsk is nearing completion.
"The Northern Bypass of Omsk will become part of the 'Russia' transport route from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok and a vital strategic asset not only for the Omsk Region but for the entire country. Work has now commenced on the first stage of construction—a 16-kilometer section—and is being carried out simultaneously at two interchanges. Construction of a temporary bridge across the Irtysh River is also nearing completion, from which the main structure will be constructed. The bypass will include bridges across the Irtysh and Om Rivers, 1,277 and 176 meters long, respectively, 19 overpasses, five interchanges, and rest areas. Around 500 people are currently working on the project, and approximately 140 pieces of equipment are in use," said Marat Khusnullin.
The Deputy Prime Minister added that the new four-lane highway will reduce transit travel between Tyumen and Novosibirsk by more than 20 km and will facilitate investment and construction activity in the region, including industrial and residential construction in the agglomeration. The road will become a key route for residents of the special economic zone, logistics zones, and new residential areas of Omsk.
The second phase of construction will include a bridge across the Om River and a roughly 50-kilometer section of highway from the interchange on the N-335 Omsk-Krasnoyarka road to the interchange on the R-254 "Irtysh" federal highway. The first section, including the bridge across the Irtysh, is scheduled to open to traffic in 2028, with full completion scheduled for 2030.
