The A331 Wiljui ( Russian Вилюй ) is a trunk road of federal importance in Siberia , Russia . It is named after the river Viljui , which it follows for part of its northeastern section.
The road is only partially completed to date (2013) and is to lead once from Tulun in the Irkutsk Oblast in a spacious, northern bypass of Lake Baikal to Jakutsk , the capital of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) . The road will thus form an additional connection between the remote region and Western Siberia and, in a broader sense, also to the European part of Russia. Until the construction of the R297 Amur trunk road (formerly M58), the region around Yakutsk was not connected to the rest of the Russian trunk road network.
The number A331 was assigned in 2010; the section Tulun - Bratsk - Ust-Kut was previously numbered R419.
State of development
The Tulun - Bratsk - Ust-Kut - Verkhnemarkowo and Tas-Jurjach - Almasny - Jakutsk sections have been developed (with restrictions) for year-round operation and long stretches are paved. The 824 km long middle section between Verkhnemarkowo and Tas-Jurjach, on which there are only a few small towns, has so far, due to the lack of bridges and road paving, the status of a winter slope, which is only maintained between December 15 and March 31.
On the 1150 km long route between Almasny and Jakutsk there are four bridges missing over the Viljui (near Krestjach , Suntar , Nyurba and Verkhneviljuisk ) and one over the Marcha . Five larger Wiljui tributaries ( Otschtschugui-Botuobuja , Wiljuitschan , Tjukjan , Tschybyda , Tangnary ) have so far been crossed with pontoon bridges . Wiljui and Marcha can be crossed annually between June 15 and September 30 by car ferry , the pontoon bridges between June 15 and October 5 and all crossings between November 15 and April 15 by ice road. The road section is therefore not continuously passable for more than three months each year. Otherwise, over 50 larger fixed river bridges have been completed so far (as of 2013).
