Russian Railways is speeding up construction of the main infrastructure project for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi — a combined road and rail route linking Adler and the Alpika-Service mountain resort.

The railroad’s contractors are conducting tunnel work at six tunnel complexes on the mountain route. So far, servicing-evacuation tunnels have been created at complex No. 1, complex No. 5, and rail tunnel No. 2. Work on the other tunnels is expected to proceed on schedule.

Along the Adler-to-Alpika-Service mountain resort route, 36 rail and 31 road bridges are being built, and construction work is nearing completion on the first flyovers.

The project includes a complete secondary track on the Sochi-Adler-Vesyoloye (Olympic Park) line, which will transport passengers from Sochi city center to the Olympic Park.
