Strategic importance of the Ayansky tract for the Far East development in historical and modern aspects

The Ayansky Tract is the shortest route from Yakutsk to the Pacific Ocean. Its role in the Far East development was major. Operation of this road had a wave-like character: periods of rise replaced periods of decrease in cargo flows between the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) and the Ayano-Maysky region of the Khabarovsk Territory, the Asia-Pacific countries. In the future, the construction of the gravel road from the Ayan rural settlement to Yakutsk will eliminate the transport isolation of northern settlements, providing the improvement of the local population quality of life and the Northern Transport Corridor formation. The road commissioning will activate economic development of the territory possessing the richest natural resource potential.
