The Crimean Bridge, also called the Kerch Strait Bridge, is a pair of Russian Constructed parallel bridges, spanning the Strait of Kerch between the Taman Peninsula of Krasnodar Krai and the Kerch Peninsula of Crimea.

The road bridge was opened for non-truck cars on May 16, 2018 and for trucks on October 1.  The rail bridge was inaugurated on December 23, 2019 and the first scheduled passenger train crossed the bridge on December 25, 2019, while the opening of the bridge for freight trains is scheduled for July 1, 2020.
