In the winter between towns of Salekhard and Labytnangi situated on both sides of the Ob River there is an ice road. Crossing through the ice is not just a driven through the ice area, but an elaborated system with several lanes located at some distance from each other. The following discussion focuses about how this crossing is created.
Crossing – it is a three lanes each having a width of 30 meters and a length of 1700, the total length - 5300 meters. From Salekhard to Labytnangi – there is one lane, there are cars and lorries. Back - two lanes. City-neighbor - the city-hard worker, it receives loads by train and sends them to the district center. Therefore, there is a separate lane for "lorries". Today, a third lane is closed, it is frozen. By car, we are with the permission of the ice crossing administration passed the sign and went to the place where there are the most interesting things.

The road on the river is as flat, as asphalt, even as an ice rink.
- The weather this year was great, - explains Ludmila Pavlovich, head of the area of self-financing of "Yamalavtodor" - ferries left early, ice is flat, and there are no hummocks. And they finished with the road construction in record time – in a week and a half. Typically, the preparation of the ice bridge takes three weeks. Two tractors work on the lane, each one has got a pump, each pump is served by two road workers. They are in orange suits.
And in boots, which, as a colleague said, can withstand up to minus seventy degrees.
