Updating the "Golden" Yenisey Taiga Roadway: Methodology Explained
In the Krasnoyarsky Krai region, a crucial infrastructure project, the Epishino - Severo-Eniseiskiy road on the right bank of the Enisei River, has reached another milestone in its restoration. This road is a vital lifeline for the industrial sector in the region.
Simultaneously, the parallel reconstruction of the road segment from the Highmountain Bridge to Epishino is underway, enhancing the regional transportation base for the extraction of valuable minerals deep within the Enisei Taiga.
Golden Route
The completion of repairs on the 9-kilometer road segment was announced by "KrUDOroe." These works were conducted under the national project "Infrastructure for Life," governed by the Governor of the Krasnoyarsky Krai, who is often questioned about the state of the roads in these areas.
The road segment from kilometer 135 to 144, near the settlement of Brianka, had been under repair since 2023. Here, they filled in potholes, arranged exit ramps, cleared kyvets of small forest vegetation, restored the shoulders, and installed new safety barriers and road signs. Most importantly, a new layer of crushed stone was applied.
Work was carried out throughout the winter - "KrUDOroe" DELA explained that the technology used on crushed stone surfaces allows for repairs to be carried out at any time of the year.
Currently, the working commission has already inspected the object, and documents for its commissioning are being prepared. The total cost of the work amounted to 196.1 million rubles.
"The Epishino - Severo-Eniseiskiy road is an essential route for the Krasnoyarsky Krai. It's not only the only route connecting the regional center with the settlements of the Severo-Eniseiskoye district, but also a route ensuring stable growth in the economy of our region. Year-round cargo transportation is carried out along this route, including building materials, products from the forestry and metallurgical industries," - commented on the completion of the work stage, the head of the road department, Andrej Žuravljov.
Work on the Epishino - Severo-Eniseiskoye road is carried out annually.
As our publication learned in "KrUDOroe," from 2019 to 2024, about 70 kilometers of the road Epishino - Severo-Eniseiskoye was repaired within the framework of the project "Safe and High-Quality Roads." Additionally, almost 60 kilometers were restored using funds allocated for its maintenance.
This year, within the new national project "Infrastructure for Life," it is planned to repair another 4 sections with a total length of approximately 23 kilometers. This includes sections from 258 to 260 km, from 260 to 265, from 266 to 273, and from 273 to 278 km.
Moreover, about 10 kilometers of the roads will be brought into order.
"The question of restoring road segments with funds allocated for maintenance is considered based on the current state of the road, so it is difficult to specify concretely," - noted in the management.
Along the Enisei Shore
Meanwhile, reconstruction of the regional road 04K-339 from the Enisei River bridge at Highmountain to Epishino is actively underway. Recently, "Krasnoyarsk road workers" handed over one of the most complex and capital-intensive of its segments between the villages of Potapovo and Gorodishche. On the 15.5-kilometer stretch, a part of the mountain had to be cut away to straighten the road, new bridges and drainage systems were built.
Currently, the second phase of the road upgrade along the Enisei is underway: reconstruction from 42 to 57 km. The funding for this section is also significant - 2.05 billion rubles; it is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
Thus, work is being carried out simultaneously on two roads along the Enisei River - both before and after Epishino. The traffic here, as it is noted in "KrUDOroe," is constantly growing. The importance of these taiga roads is not only for the local population but also for the economy of the Krasnoyarsky Krai and Russia as a whole.
