“Today is a very important day, we are resuming railway traffic to the Murmansk junction ... We managed to open the traffic four days earlier,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

The first train with a groupage cargo passed through a new section of the railway.

On June 1, a railway emergency bridge collapsed near Murmansk, on which repairs were carried out due to the washing of structures with a flood. A criminal case has been instituted on this fact.

The newspaper Izvestia wrote that the emergency mode will operate in the region until the completion of the construction of a reserve branch line to the Murmansk station.
