Improvement of the regional Road Transport Infrastructure of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

   It is well known that the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is the most isolated and hard-to-reach region of the country, with over 80 % of the territory not having year-round ground transportation. At the same time, the stable functioning of the road transport infrastructure in comparison with other modes of transport – rail, river, and air – remains the main condition for ensuring the connectivity of the territory, sustainable living of the population in most districts of the vast republic. A distinctive feature of the regional road transport infrastructure is the presence of seasonal winter roads, usually arranged on rivers and lakes, a dense network of which takes place in every district, including the Arctic Yakutia. Despite the obvious positive changes in recent years in the construction and repair of the roads and bridges in Yakutia, the transport infrastructure is still underdeveloped, the significance of winter roads remains and will continue to do so; therefore, taking into account the regional characteristics, a research on improving the road transport infrastructure is relevant.

   The purpose of this article is to substantiate recommendations regarding the improvement of the regional road transport infrastructure in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

   The article describes the characteristics of the region’s highways, highlights the role of seasonal winter roads in the infrastructure, and gives recommendations on the formation of an information base for making managerial decisions.
