The Bridge of Aksay (Russian: Аксайский мост) is a road bridge over the River Don in Rostov-on-Don. Its total span is 580 m (1,900 ft). It was built in 1964 to form part of the 1,062 km (660 mi) M4 "Don" highway, with a two-lane capacity of around 7,000 vehicles per day of up to 6 tonnes per axle. In 1995, a new bridge was built to augment the existing one to accommodate a new three-lane crossing. The bridge crosses the Don 60 km (37 mi) from its estuary.^{[citation needed]}
