Transportation
Chukotka is mostly roadless and air travel is the main mode of passenger transport. There are local permanent roads between some settlements. In the winter on the rivers are laid Winter roads which connect region settlements in a uniform network.
In 2009, replacement of the emergency bridge through Loren river on constantly operating local road from Lavrentiya to Lorino became the main event of transport of Chukotka.
The main airport is Ugolny Airport near Anadyr. Coastal shipping also takes place, but the ice situation is too severe for at least half the year.
