History
52 years ago, the Bridge Construction Crew No. 83 became a part of the consolidated company, in accordance with the order of the USSR Ministry of Transport Construction dated 28 January 1961. On the base of bridge construction organizations in the cities of Saratov, Uralsk, Orsk, Samara, Orenburg and Astrakhan, the Bridge Construction Administration No. 3 was established. From that point, the Volgomost company saw a new period in its history. In 2011, the company celebrated its 50-year anniversary.
By the order of the USSR Ministry of Transport Construction in 1962, the Bridge Construction Administration No. 3 was renamed to the Bridge Construction Trust No. 3 (Mostostroy No. 3). The objective of the enterprise was to build railroad and motorway bridges, buildings, enterprises and other structures. The administration was an independent contracting agency that executed projects of the Main Administration. The industrial work force of the trust was used in bridge construction projects near the basin of the Middle and Lower Volga River and the Ural River.
As of 1 January 1993, Bridge Construction Trust No. 3 was reorganized into a joint-stock company of the open type called "Volgomost" ("Volgomost" JSCOT).
"Volgomost" Joint-Stock Company of the Open Type ("Volgomost" JSCOT) was reorganized into "Volgomost" Open Joint-Stock Company in accordance with the On Joint-Stock Companies Federal Law dated 26 December 1995 and with the protocol of the general stockholder’s meeting dated 25 April 1996.
During the years of its existence, the structure of the OJSC "Volgomost" has changed multiple times. At different points in its existence, the structure of the company held departments such as the bridge construction crews in Guryev, Naberezhnye Chelny, Mineralnye Vody, Kuibyshev, Vladikavkaz, as well as the repair and rental base, the information and computational center, the bridge reinforced concrete construction factory. In the last five years, as a result of a merger between the bases and the Bridge Construction Crew No. 3, the bridge construction crew in Naberezhnye Chelny was reorganized, the Bridge Construction Crew No. 131 was established in Ulyanovsk, which, in 2010, was partly redeployed into the city of Sochi for participation in the construction of Olympic structures. Also, representative offices in the cities of Krasnodar, Moscow and Saratov were opened.
