Ust-Kamenogorsk – Zyryanovsk Road -
This road connects the cities of Ust-Kamenogorsk and Zyryanovsk. The road is very picturesque; it was built in 1940. Residents of collective farms were mobilized for its construction. The work was carried out in rather difficult conditions, without the aid of construction equipment. The road is striking in its complexity of construction and the beauty of the landscapes it passes through.
