Russians Off-Road on their federal highways
The thing that gets me, is that Russia is a rich nation in natural
resources, perhaps as rich as the United States, and certainly richer than many First and Second World nations. And that is all they could come up with for a main highway?

Russians Off-Road on their federal highways
The broken English in the text makes it sound like it's near Moscow, but I
seriously doubt it. Yakutsk is a city in eastern Siberia, where the ground is probably frozen most of the year and firm to drive on, notice those pics are from the end of August, when the tundra thaws and creates a giant muddy mess. Paving that particular road would be a huge undertaking because of the freeze-thaw upheaval, you would have to take out a lot of underground permafrost. Kind of the reason why Alaska has few paved roads. Also, sure Russia has a plethora of natural resources but they are still reeling from Soviet inefficiency....

There are Russian four wheel drive vehicles, but they save those for the really bad stuff. ;^) Earle -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
