In this handout video grab released by the Russian Defence Ministry, a hummer drill works at a construction site of a temporary structure that will be set up to circumvent the collapsed bridge over Kola River, in Murmansk region, Russia. The foundations of the railway bridge used for passenger and cargo rail transportation between the northern port city of Murmansk and the rest of Russia over the river Kola were washed away by rapidly melting snow and strong water flows on May 30, and the bridge gave way on June 1. Russian Railways plan to resume rail traffic to Murmansk by June 23, and complete the construction of a new rail bridge in early October. Editorial use only, no archive, no commercial use.
