The Nadym (Russian: Нады́м) is a river in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia. The length of the Nadym is 545 kilometers (339 mi). The area of its basin is 64,000 square kilometers (25,000 sq mi).[1]

It is known for having a very rickety pontoon bridge[2] for summer use while winter roads go over the ice. A new fixed bridge for combined road and rail use[3] is to be finished by the end of 2015.[4]
