Take bus #18 or trolleybus #4 from the train/busstation and get out at Dostoevskogo - one of the last stops before the buses return to the city centre. A ticket will cost your 19,- RUB and you can buy it from the lady in the bus.

When you arrive at Although the Dostoevskogo stopwill be announced via the speakers, it is recognizable from three small streetshops on the right side. Go out here. Walk a few meters down the road and you will see a huge bridge recently built church on your right hand sight. Behind that church, you can see the Kola Bay and a huge bridge crossing that bay. This is the only in bridge around Murmansk over the Kola Bay andforms, therefore, the connection between the M18 highway with Murmansk.  Before crossing entering the bridge, you will see traffic lights. This is a good place to put your thumbs in the air to get a ride either southwards towards Petrozavodsk and Saint Petersburg, or northwards towards the Norwegian border.
