The Eastern Bosporus ( Russian Босфор Восточный , Bosfor Wostotschny ) is a strait in the Russian Primorye region and is located in the Peter the Great Bay in the Sea of Japan . The Eastern Bosporus separates the Muravjow-Amursky peninsula from the two islands of Russky and Elena . The strait connects Amur Bay in the west and Ussuri Bay in the east.
The Eastern Bosphorus is up to 50 meters deep, approx. 9 kilometers long and at its narrowest point only 800 meters wide.
The Russky Bridge , a cable-stayed bridge , connects the peninsula with the Russky Island. The bridge was opened in July 2012 and the ferry service across the strait was discontinued. With a span of 1,104 meters, it has been the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world since 2012.
