Other useful info
- The city is accessible by the former federal highway R255 (previously M53), or by train on the Trans-Siberian Railway. There is likely never going to be a bypass road, as the only road bridge across the Uda handles the traffic well. Entering from the east, you'll see a huge military base storing equipment and weapons on both sides of the road. It is better not to try to photograph it.
