The construction of the Amur Bay Bridge proceeds from the De Friz Peninsula.

The Amur Bay Bridge (Russian: Мост через Амурский залив) is the low-water bridge in Vladivostok, Russia, that connects the De Frieze Peninsula with the vicinity of the Sedanka microdistrict (микрорайон Седанка) of the Muravyov-Amursky Peninsula, and is part of the highway “Novy Village (Новый) - Peninsula De Friz (Де-Фриз) - Sedanka Station (Седанка) - Patroclus Bay (Патрокл)”. It is one of the three large bridges completed for the 2012 APEC Summit in Vladivostok, the other two being the Russky Bridge and the Zolotoy Bridge.
