A deep VLA map of the X-ray binary Cygnus X-3, obtained at 6 cm wavelength in B configuration, is presented. The map clearly shows the symmetric ejection of plasma condensations along a position angle close to the North-South direction. An overall jet-like bipolar morphology, with a full size of about 5 arcsec is evident. The jet condensations are detected at the 0.3 mJy level with a very high significance (SNR/10), and they are very likely to be the remnant of the strong Cygnus X-3 radio flare that occurred three months before our observing run. Accepting this association, the ejection velocity derived for both condensations is /~0.6c.
