News from Russia:
This week one of the urban ropeway projects has been approved by the government as a priority project to be funded through international BRICS bank.
This lift will be located in
Tutaev (some 300 km northeast of Moscow), a historical town considered a part of 'Golden ring' roads of old Russian towns.
It's divided by Volga river in two parts without any bridges.
The project is supposed to cost around EUR 9m for MGD8 according to the officials and
here is comprehensive feasibility study with plenty of technical information (
lift profile etc.) and estimates put together by Doppelmayr for this project.
The specs are the following:
Horizontal lenght - 1294 m
Elevation difference - 7,5 m
Gauge - 5,2 m
Line speed - 5 m/s
Capacity - 1000 pph (initial - 500 pph)
22 gondolas (initial - 14 gondolas at 4 m/s)

The contract between the bank and Russian Federation is supposed to be signed in October after which detailed design and construction may start.
Another news for Russia is an approval of financing for a CLD4B lift to be built in 2019 at Obzornaya hill ski area in
Arsenyev in Russian Far East (150 km from Vladivostok) as a replacement for a Doppelmayr T-bar (1700 m in lenght) that locals were dreaming about for last 10 years.
Again this project was initiated with the involvment of Doppelmayr and most likely they will win a tender as everywhere else in Russian Far East where they are very strong (Sakhalin - 3 detachable lifts were built, one is under construction, two more gondolas are in detailed design phase; Kamchatka - T-bar is under construction, a gondola has been designed for next year, Komsomolsk-on-Amur - a gondola under construction etc.)
