Construction on two massive structures in Yakutia has been postponed – a setback in their completion schedules.
The Arctic Center, also known as "Olonkholand," and the Lena Bridge, two significant megaprojects being undertaken independently by Yakutia without federal co-financing, have announced delays in their launches until next year. As of September 9, 2025, the Arctic Center's construction readiness stands at 83%.
On the rooftop of the Arctic Center, three dome-urnas and the 'glass lake' above the entrance atrium have been installed and insulated. Inside, internal wall partitions are complete, and specialists are performing wall plastering and have begun cladding the central hall. However, despite this progress, the Arctic Center may face significant delays in launch due to technical difficulties and severe underfunding in Yakutia's housing and utilities sector.
Regarding the Lena Bridge, the wall panel assembly of the central cofferdam of pier No.9 is ongoing, with 27 out of 52 elements produced. Static testing of pile field of pier No.5 has been successfully completed, but the Leninsky Bridge may be delayed until better times, such as the end of the SVO, economic recovery, or partial lifting of sanctions. No specific updates on the financing developments or the timing for federal funding decisions concerning these projects could be found. Federal funding for these projects is scheduled to begin in 2027, but federal officials may advise "build it yourself" due to lack of funding.
Despite the challenges, state media and the "VIS" group continue to report on the progress of the works in a positive tone. However, some observers predict significant delays in both projects' completion due to the delays in their launches.
For more detailed information on these delayed projects, you can find articles at https://our site/article/214004 and https://our site/article/213938. The Leninsky Bridge, as of now, lacks the cofferdams installed, and further details on the Lena Bridge on September 5 are not provided.
In conclusion, Yakutia's independent megaprojects, the Arctic Center and the Lena Bridge, are progressing, albeit with delays and challenges. With construction readiness at 83%, the Arctic Center may launch in 2026 with some difficulty, while the Leninsky Bridge's completion timeline remains uncertain.
