In 1941 the railway tunnel was also added (see Тоннель под Амуром).

Later, a railway bridge over the Amur Komsomolsk-on-Amur (1975) and a road bridge in Khabarovsk (1999) built.

Solomonovich Valery Gurevich, deputy chairman of the Government of the Russian Jewish Autonomous Oblast said that China and Russia began construction of the bridge project Love in late 2007. The bridge will link Nizhneleninskoye in the Jewish Autonomous Oblast with Tongjiang in Heilongjiang Province. The bridge 2197 feet long, with an estimated investment of nearly U.S. $ 230 million, expected to be completed by the end of 2010, Gurevich said. Gurevich said that the proposal to build a bridge over the river was actually made by Russia in the light of rising freight transportation needs. "The bridge, in the estimates of fat will be completed in three years," Gurevich said.
