Opening traffic across a bridge
The 498-meter bridge across the Tompo River has a 33-meter-long span. Its girder structure features metal pylons inside 19-meter sinkholes. The bridge spanning the Dyugndya River is 68 meters long and has three pylons and two spans, as per the press service of the Government of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
The new bridges will impact the development of Arctic transport logistics and will make it possible to develop the industry and to raise local living standards, primarily in the Tompon District. Operating all-year-round, this road will unite the Prognoz silver deposit, the Nezhdaninskoye gold deposit and the Verkhneye-Menkeche silver and polymetallic deposit.
The new infrastructure is expected to facilitate year-round traffic from Verkhoyansk up to the Kolyma federal highway; it will open up new delivery routes and will enhance the region’s economic stability. Construction was launched in late 2023, with 72 specialists and 25 pieces of equipment involved daily.
