In late January 2014, the Ukrainian and Russian governments decided that a new joint Ukrainian-Russian company would be commissioned to handle the construction of the bridge, while the Russian state enterprise Russian Highways (Avtodor) would become responsible for the bridge in the long term.
I slutningen af januar 2014 besluttede de ukrainske og russiske regeringer, at et nyt fælles ukrainsk-russiske selskab skulle oprettes for at sikre opførelsen af broen, mens den russiske statsvirksomhed Rosavtodor (russisk: Росавтодор) skulle være ansvarlig for driften af broen.
