I will never complain about a pothole again!This is the Russian Federal highway, Moscow city to Yakutsk City.
The road doesn’t have asphalt surface, though it is a vital Federal highway.
Everytime it rains, the traffic flow gets paralized; these shots were made a few days before the traffic jam of 600 cars got stuck there. Hunger and lack of the fuel followed, according to the witnesses. One woman gave birth to a child right in the public bus she was riding on.
Construction teams were afraid to appear on site because during their previous visit they were beaten by people who were stuck for a few days. People were breaking the locks on the trucks, in search of food and warm clothes.
Fuel, food, firearms and steel tow-line are the things that are needed most these days on this Federal highway.
Freaking pain ass Highway. I bet it’s dusty as all hell during the summer, and like this quite often in the winter, if the whole highway is mud like it looks. I’ve heard before that America’s Highway system was considered a model by many nations, obviously wasn’t of the USSR. And now that their economy isn’t the greatest I wouldn’t forcee is getting better any time soon. That said, imagine how loved, cheered, worshiped would be some paving equipment and road-building materials like gravel and asphalt would be to the people on that stretch.
