The BAM Road
Running approximately alongside the railway track is the BAM road, a railway service track. It is said to be in a very poor state, with collapsed bridges, dangerous river crossings, severe potholes and "unrelenting energy-sapping bogs". The road is passable only by the most extreme off-road vehicles and adventure motorcycles. A group of three experienced motorcycle riders recently took a whole month to travel from Komsomolsk (in the east) to Lake Baikal.
