According to fresh data from Russian sources, the situation has become even more tense. The wait in line for the ferry crossing now stretches to forty hours. As before, Russian residents seek to get to the peninsula, but are forced to stand in long queues. At the moment, more than two thousand cars have accumulated at the port — by some estimates, their number reaches 2300. Meanwhile, the flow of cars does not weaken, and they continue to arrive constantly. Although an additional Greek ferry, the Olympiada, has been brought in, and the other vessels are operating without breaks, it is unlikely that the situation will be resolved in the near future. Earlier, we wrote that to address the problem with the crossing, a special commission is even being created. However, one should not expect quick results from its activities. As is known, the only radical solution remains the construction of a bridge across the Kerch Strait. It should connect Krasnodar Krai with Crimea. But construction is a long process, and they will be able to start it no earlier than 2015. The cost of the project is estimated at a 'modest' 280 billion rubles.
