Yakutia Commissions 21 Bridge Crossings Under National Projects

Yakutia has built or reconstructed 21 bridge crossings between 2019 and 2026 under the national projects “Safe Quality Roads” and “Infrastructure for Life”, initiated by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Road Department of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) reported. The commissioned bridges have a combined length of 2,442.27 running metres.

The department said the work ensures uninterrupted transport links between the republic's settlements, improves road safety and makes social facilities more accessible to residents of remote areas. Officials noted that many of the region's roads cross numerous water obstacles, so the updated bridges play a key role in regional transport infrastructure.

Under the Infrastructure for Life project, about 95 km of roads are planned to be brought to standard condition in 2026. Work is under way in the Yakutsk urban agglomeration and in the small agglomerations of Aldan, Lensk, Mirny and Neryungri. In 2025, 130.69 km of roads were commissioned under the project, including 109.47 km of the regional network.
