MINING ROADS
The troops of the Southern Military District this year will build eight mountain passages in Chechnya and Ingushetia to develop tourism. They will be used to deliver building materials to the highlands where tourist zones will be created.
Transitions are built through mountain streams and rivers that do not allow climbing the mountain plateaus. We are planning five transitions in the Chechen Republic and three transitions in Ingushetia. This will allow republican organizations to enter construction sites in hard-to-reach areas at altitudes up to 2,6 thousand meters, where construction of mountain tourist clusters will be launched
