Water repair works ongoing on Sevastopol Street
The "Infrastructure for Life" national project, an initiative aimed at improving urban environments across Russia, is making significant strides, including in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), where Yakutsk serves as the regional hub. This project prioritizes modernizing and enhancing safety conditions, particularly for children, through renovations of parks, public gardens, embankments, sports, and pedestrian zones[1].
In Yakutsk, one of the streets undergoing renovation is Sevastopol Street. While specific details about this particular street's repair may not be readily available, the ongoing nationwide infrastructure efforts under the "Infrastructure for Life" project indicate that such urban improvements, including road repairs and upgrades, are integral to the project's scope[1].
The repair and modernization work on Sevastopol Street is being carried out by the contractor ZAO "Roads of Sakha". Current work includes installing water drainage channels, laying 410 meters of the lower layer of asphalt concrete, and the installation of sidewalks on both sides of the street, one of which will connect to a bike lane[2]. Work on storm drainage on Sevastopol Street is ongoing and will connect channels on Kuzmina Street[2].
The project aims to complete significant construction and repair work by the end of 2025, suggesting that any infrastructure improvements on major streets like Sevastopol would likely be scheduled within this timeframe as part of enhancing urban environments and transportation infrastructure in Yakutsk and other cities[1][2].
Future plans for the project emphasize continued modernization and effective integration of educational and urban facilities, with digital tools increasingly used to support maintenance requests and community involvement in deciding improvement priorities[1]. The public actively votes on facilities for improvement, indicating a participatory approach to urban infrastructure upgrades, possibly including streets like Sevastopol in Yakutsk[1].
It is worth noting that all main indicator objects for 2025 have been fully contracted in the new national project, with the municipal customer being MUK "Glavstroy" of Yakutsk[3]. The new national project "Infrastructure for Life" will repair 11 road network objects (8 main and 3 reserve) in Yakutsk by 2025, totaling over 15 km of roads[3]. The length of the repaired section of Sevastopol Street is 0.986 km[4].
Yevgeny Grigoryev, the head of Yakutsk, has ordered constant monitoring of repair quality, greening, addressing warranty obligations from last year, and conducting patch repairs on the road network in Yakutsk[5]. The director of MUK "Glavstroy" stated that Sevastopol Street, a main thoroughfare, will have water flowing towards Kurantovsky Street via a pipe[5].
In summary, Sevastopol Street in Yakutsk is part of the nationwide "Infrastructure for Life" project, with ongoing work including the installation of water drainage channels, the laying of asphalt concrete, and the installation of sidewalks. The project aims to complete significant construction and repair work by the end of 2025, with the public actively participating in deciding improvement priorities.
The "Infrastructure for Life" project, as it modernizes the urban landscape of Yakutsk, also involves improvements in the transportation sector, such as the renovation of Sevastopol Street. The ongoing work on Sevastopol Street, which includes installing water drainage channels, laying asphalt concrete, and constructing sidewalks, is financed by the national project and scheduled for completion by the end of 2025.
