The completion date is December 31, 2026. The work will be carried out by Mostostroy-11, which built the second bridge over the Ob near Surgut and the interchange itself. The contract for overpass repair on the Nizhnevartovsk–Izluuchinsk road is worth 278 million rubles (approximately $3.1 million at current exchange rates).

The work will cover a 64-meter stretch. The old bridge will be dismantled, and a new one will be built: the contractor must install supports, mount span structures, and install drainage.

Drivers are asked to plan detours in advance, as the interchange will be closed for almost 11 months.
