"This is Russian Federal highway Moscow city - Yakutsk City, named “Lena”, nowadays. See link for pictures.
The road doesn’t have asfalt surface, though it is a Federal, vital highway.
Everytime it rains the road gets paralized, these shots are made a few days before the traffic jam for 600 cars got stuck there. Hunger and lack of the fuel followed, according to the witnesses. One woman gave a born to a child right in the public bus she was riding.
Construction team afraids to appear on site because during their previous visit it was beaten by people who stuck in the jam for a few days. People breaking the locks on the trucks, in a search of food and warm cloths.
Fuel, food, firearms and steel tow-line are the things that are needed most these days on this Federal highway."

I would assume that would be used to get food/vodka from trailers without asking extra questions and to make sure noone passes infront of you, since there was about 12 km traffic jam. Its the only highway that leads to that part of russia and seems like the only way to get there as well. |

Looks like they have some of the same problems we do. Bad winters, biggest country in the world and relatively small taxpayers base.
Did anyone see the TV show with those two guys who went around the world on their BMW motorcycles? Some of those roads and bridges (in Siberia) make this one look like an Autobahn. |

| The road is that way because the way they fix the roads in Russia is they take the old asphalt off dump sand on it and then put a fresh new coat of asphalt over it, what happened there was the workers went on strike and left everything like that. |
