“The linear part will be finished in a month,” Transneft President Nikolai Tokarev has said. According to Mr Tokarev, 960 km of the approximately 1,170 km of the oil pipeline has now been constructed.
The BPS-2 will extend from the Unecha junction of the Druzhba pipeline, near the Russia-Belarus border, to the Ust-Luga terminal on the Gulf of Finland. The pipeline will pass the regions of Bryansk, Smolensk, Tver, Novgorod, and Leningrad.
Construction on the project commenced in June 2009 and is expected to be completed in early 2012.
The BPS-2 is the second trunkline of the Baltic Pipeline System (BPS), which became operational in December 2001.
