The fire on the bridge over the Zolotoi Rog Bay in Vladivostok that erupted Monday evening has been put out, local emergency services say.
Firefighters left the scene on Wednesday morning.
The fire erupted on Monday evening after a wood shuttering of the concrete span on one of the pillars of the bridge went ablaze.
The 64-meter flames covered an area of 500 square meters.
The bridge’s basic structures were not damaged, and no one was hurt.
The bridge is being built for an APEC summit which will take place in Vladivostok in 2012.
The authorities say that the bridge will be commissioned according to schedule.
