Completion of the construction of Baikal Amur highway. Expansion of the Baikal Amur highway. The most studied deposits with the estimated economic efficiency of development

Baikal Amur Highway (Abbreviation BAM) - Railway in and on Far East. One of the largest railway highways in the world. The main way - the Soviet harbor was built with big interruptions from 1938 to 1984. Construction of the central part railwaywhich took place in complex geological and climatic conditions, took over 12 years, and one of the most difficult areas - the North-Misk Tunnel - was introduced into permanent operation only in 2003.

Railway Magistral

Project estimates

Economist Egor Gaidar in the early 2000s expressed the opinion of Bama: [ 9]

"The construction project of the Baikal-Amur highway is a characteristic example of the socialist" building of the century. "Project is dear, large-scale, romantic - beautiful places, Siberia. Supported by all the power of Soviet propaganda, economically absolutely meaningless. The roads were able to build - this is not to produce competitive products or good products. folk consumption".

At the same time, opinions were expressed that, despite their unprofitability, the Baikal Amur highway gave impetus to the development of a number of production, and also plays a significant geopolitical role, stitching "steel stitches our immense spaces" .

In the construction of the eastern site, two railway corps of the railway troops of the Armed Forces of the USSR took part.

One of the tasks solved by the construction of Bama was to ensure reliable communication with the Far Eastern regions of the country in the conditions of the possible seizure of the Eastern Transsib site, located almost at the very border, in the event of a military conflict with China.

In honor of Bama, an asteroid (2031) of the BAM, open in the main belt of asteroids on October 8, 1969 by Lyudmila Black of Crimean Observatory.

Although in the phrase of the Baikal-Amur highway the word of the highway of the female genus, the abbreviation of the BAM is very often used in male genus.

About 10 thousand dump trucks and on-board trucks of the Magirus-Doyz brand with a diesel engine of air cooling were ordered to build a BAM in Germany. In the USSR, such diesel engines for civilian cars did not produce. Deliveries were performed in 1975-1976. Some of these machines work and now in the regions of Siberia and the Far East. It was prestigious to work on these machines, and they differed in quality and comfort from domestic, so they worked mainly for production. In addition, along with the domestic in the construction of the BAMA, another imported manufacturing technique western countries and CEA countries.

Plans for reconstruction

Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the Government of Russia to prepare a detailed schedule of modernization schedule of Bam and Transsib. The federal budget funds and the National Welfare Fund will be sent to the solution of the problem.

Until 2018, it is planned to highlight 560 billion rubles, of which 300 billion in the framework of the Russian Railways investment program, 110 billion in the form of direct budget investments, and another 150 billion on a return basis from the Fund. It is assumed that the modernization of the Bam and Transsib will increase the throughput of the highway from 110 to 165 million tons of cargo per year.

The priority measures to develop the infrastructure of the Western part of the Bam are estimated at 177 billion rubles. It is planned to build about 430 km of additional main routes and two-way inserts, 27 connectors, develop Taishet stations, (Irkutsk region) and New Chara (Transbaikal Territory).

In 2013, about 20 million tons of various goods are transported within the border of the East-Siberian railway in the borders of the East Siberian Railway. The development of transport infrastructure will allow to intensify the development of new deposits, which will entail an increase in traffic. According to forecasts, by 2020, 60 million tons can reach the increase in transportation volumes along the northern part of the road. Therefore, it is necessary not only to increase the throughput of the highway, but also to develop the infrastructure as a whole. Thus, on the investment program of the JUCT in the next three years, construction of apartment buildings at the Baman stations is provided.

In 2014, the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, which makes it possible to use the funds of the National Welfare Fund to modernize the Baikal Amur and Trans-Siberian Mountains, signed Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

Celebration of anniversary Bama

Forty years ago, the All-Union Komsomolskaya Construction was started - they began to build the Baikal Amur Magistral. To celebrate the anniversary, remember everything and prove that there is still life on a tour of the Great Railway in the Bama, a festive train with number 905, which was never before and, most likely, will no longer be in the schedule. He drove the route Irkutsk-Tynda.

Severobaykalsk originated in 1974, when the first landing of Leningrad builders of Bama landed and smashed a labor camp. With all his remoteness, Severobaykalsk will not name the provincial city: Either because he was built in the 1970-80 sheephaded by the Komsomol romance, or because his Leningrads built, and very likely because they are mostly those people, That in the 1970s and 1980s, being very young specialists, left their cities around the union in order to build a bam. They stayed here, acquired families, children, grandchildren, and now it is the main part of the residents of Severobaykalsk.

Baikal Amur Magistral - one of the largest railway highways of the world, the northern dubler of the Trans-Siberian railway line, passing in Eastern Siberia and the Far East. The main stroke of the Baikal-Amur highway - Taishet - Bratsk - Lena - Severobaykalsk - Tynda - Komsomolsk-on-Amur - Soviet harbor. The length of the main path of Tayshet - Soviet harbor is 4287 km. Bam passes the north of the Trans-Siberian Highway's route, bothering her in the city of Taiste Irkutsk region, on his way crosses the hangar in Bratsk, Lena in Ust-Kuta and then passes through Severobaykalsk, rich from the north of Baikal. Next, the Bam goes to the remote mountainous territories of Buryatia, the Chita and Amur regions through the date, crossing the River Vitim, Olekma and the Zea reservoir. The Further Way of the Bam passes through the territory of the Khabarovsk Territory, where the highway crosses Amur in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Ends the bam on the shore Pacific Ocean in the Soviet harbor.

Bam has several branches - at Ust-Ilimsk (215 km); on a number of mineral deposits; In three places, the BAM is connected to the Trans-Cable Blots (Tynda - Bamovskaya, the new Urgal - Lime, Komsomolsk-on-Amur - Volcology (Khabarovsk)), from the Tynda station of the Baikal Amur highway to the North, the Amuro-Yakut Highway, (which is several years Back to the shores of Lena), connecting the territory of Yakutia with the railway network of the country; From Vanino station, railway ferries are sent to Sakhalin.

The construction of the Baikal-Amur highway began in front of the war: in 1938, construction work began on a plot from Taishet to Bratsk, in 1939 - on the eastern plot from Komsomolsk-on-Amur to the Soviet harbor. Works at the time were carried out mainly by the forces of prisoners. In the difficulty years of war, the construction was suspended for a while, but soon the construction was continued - in 1947 they passed the site Komsomolsk - Soviet harbor, in 1958, the plot of Taishet was commissioned - Bratsk - Ust-Kut: the road went on the shores of the top flow of Lena The work continued on the sections of the west of Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

In 1967, a decree of the Council of Ministers on the resumption of the construction of the BAM and the organization of the end-to-end railway I category between Taystec and Komsomolsky-on-Amur was published, after which active design and survey work on the BAM track began. The active construction of the highway resumed in 1974 - the BAM was declared the All-Union Shock Komsomol Construction Communion, which thousands of young people from all over the country went. Central, the main part of the BAM, was built in 12 years, from 1972 to 1984, and on November 1, 1989, the entire new three-thousandth of the highway (with the exception of the North Tunnel, which was built until 2003) was commissioned in the volume of the starting complex .

The Baikal-Amur highway route takes place mainly in the mountainous terrain, cutting seven mountain ranges. The highest point of the path is Mururinsky Pass (1323 meters above sea level); When entering which steep slopes require the use of double thrust and limiting the maximum weight of trains from 5600 to 4,200 tons. Ten tunnels are built on the BAM highway, among them - the most extended in Russia of the North-German tunnel, having a length of 15343 meters. From the point of view of peaks and construction, this tunnel passing through the north-mius ridge is one of the most difficult in the world. It was built with breaks of 28 years old - from 1975 to 2003. In order not to delay the start of the transit movement on the BAMU, in 1982-1983 and 1985-1989 two bypass of this tunnel with a length of 25 and 54 kilometers, representing the most complex railway Serpentine with extreme curves and slopes. After opening through traffic through the North-German tunnel, the bandwidth of the BAM increased significantly, the heights began to pass a complex portion with transit, and bypassing the tunnel became a backup track, but it is supported, and some compositions are also being passed on it.

The Baikal-Amur highway intersects 11 large riversA total of 2230 large and small bridges are built on it. The highway passes more than 200 railway stations and travelings, more than 60 cities and towns. Passing through remote mountain areas, the BAM has become an excellent school for many engineers and builders - here for the first time in domestic and world practice, dozens of new unique engineering solutions were applied, which were then applied and actively apply to many other construction projects of our country. Tueshenets to Ust-Kuta (sturgeon, Lena Station) Baikal Amur Mainstroke Two-buoy and electrified on alternating current, from Ust-Kuta to Taksimo Single road station and electrified on alternating current, Eastern Single Speed \u200b\u200bMotion is carried out on a diets.

The peak of cargo transportation on the bass came to 1990. Then, in the period from 1991 to 1997, cargo traffic fell almost twice. As well as a lot built in our country, the BAM at that time in the lips of many were suddenly "no one for the necessary construction of the century." Indeed, the Baikal Amur highway was designed in many respects as an integral part of a comprehensive project on the development of significant natural resources of the districts, according to which the road rang - the development of the regions ceased, many of the intended projects of the territorial and industrial complexes were not implemented. Naturally, without the development and development of the surrounding territories, the profitability of such a tremendous and costly highway as a BAM is impossible. At the same time, in the period from 1997 to 2010 (and especially after 2003, after the opening of the end-to-date movement along the North Tunnel), the cargo traffic was increased again, currently 12 million tons per year and continues to increase, gradually approaching the design boot . The increasing stream from the overloaded Transsib is redirected to the BAM, (oil, coal, a row of other goods are transported on the highway), the construction of the Amuro-Yakut highway (AIM) continues from Bama, which as of 2018 has already brought to Yakutsk (but for now without a bridge over Lena); Work continues on the modernization of existing highways. At the moment, work on the construction of second paths is under the construction of the BAM - in the future, the entire BAM track should become two-way.

I happened to visit the two cities of Bam - in the east of the highway in Komsomolsk-on-Amur (about this city ), and in Severobaykalsk, in the western part of the Bam. Today I will tell you about Severobaykalsk.

1. Bam passes along the coast of North Baikal.

2. Monument to builders BAM:

3. In some sections, the railway dives under the cover of galleries, in others it takes place in the carrier tunnels.

4. Portal of the third seal tunnel BAM:

5. Station Severobaykalsk Baikal Amur highway. Before the station, a monument to the Leningraders - the builders of Severobaykalsk are established.

6. On dozens of tracks there are many compositions, Perron has passenger trains, the beeps of locomotives are once again distributed, the dispatcher's voice from the speakers speakers.

9. Modern domestic electric locomotives "Ermak" work on an electrical site BAM, and the Tynda train is sent from Perron.

10. Another passenger train, Severobaykalsk - New Chara.

11. Echelon with dump trucks.

12. Loads and special equipment:

13. The locomotive on the pedestal near the complex of buildings of the East Siberian Railway.

15. Central part of the city:

18. On the outskirts of the town - the private building, which arose since the time of construction of Bama, mainly dominates.

19. Church:

21. Probably, the ancestors of these dogs were also on the construction of Bama. :)

22. Branch of the Irkutsk University of Communications. Railway is the main city-forming enterprise.

23. 50-kilometer road along the shore of Baikal, connecting Severobaykalsk with ancient village Baikal.

24. On the outskirts of Severobaykalsk again I go out to the BAM. Here it leaves Severobaikalsk and Baikal Coast, and goes up in the mountains along the Valley of the River Tia, so that, then the mountain range through the 6-kilometer Baikal Tunnel, 343 kilometers from here to go ashore for the top flow of Lena in sturgeon, where the famous Lena station is located, One of the key points for the Bam, Yakutia and the Irkutsk region. Station Lena is from here - 343 kilometers.

25. Children's Creativity Center:

Severobaican city museum of the Baikal Amur highway. The museum is very small and contains interesting materials related to the construction of the famous railway and Severobaykalsk, as well as photographs of those years.

37. Watching the Life Bam ... The passenger train goes on the BAM from the east to the west and approaches Severobaykalsk:

38. By missed the counter train, from Severobaykalsk to the east on Buma, a long-labored laminate echelon, driven by electric locomotive "Ermak," - the same, with a fire truck, that I photographed at the station.

Today, the BAM lives in their usual life - fascinatingly looks in the night brightly illuminated by spotlights night station, mysteriously sound in the night silence of the beeps of locomotives, which is revealed to the multiple echo the voice of the dispatcher, knocking the wheels and clasons of adhesive cars that are preparing to go on a distant trip by, possibly , the most difficult and unique railway line in the world ...

The construction of the Baikal Amur highway demanded the mobilization of huge resources of the whole country. Even before the completion of the highway, many have declared the construction of meaningless and unnecessary. Around the construction history of the BAM and still walks many disputes. What still is the Baikal Amur Highway? Is it a way to the future or a huge mistake of Soviet power? Below are pretty interesting Facts, Read and draw conclusions ..

In 1888, a project of the building of the Pacific Railway was discussed in Russian Technical Society through the northern tip of Baikal, after which in July - September 1889, the Colonel of the General Staff of N. A. Voloshinov overcame with a small detachment of the MILITOUS SPACE from Ust-Kut to Mui - just To those places where the Bam's route is now. And came to the conclusion: "... The holding of the line in this direction is definitely impossible due to one technical difficulties, not to mention other considerations." Voloshinov was not a pessimist, but he soberly realized: no techniques nor funds for the fulfillment of ambitious work at that time were not.

In 1926, a separate building of the railway troops began to conduct topographic exploration of the future highway Bama. In 1932, the decision of the USSR SNC "On the construction of the Baikal-Amur Railway", on which design and survey work was deployed and construction began. By autumn it became clear that the main problem of construction was the lack of working hands. With an officially established number of employees in 25 thousand people, only 2.5 thousand people managed to attract. As a result, on October 25, the second decision of the USSR SCC was published, according to which the construction of the Bama was transferred to the SPPU special management. Following this, it continued (mainly the forces of the Baikal-Amur ITL (BAMGA)) the construction of three connecting lines from the Trans-Siberian highway to the planned highway of Bama: Bam - Tynda, Volochevka - Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Liminsky - Urgall. In 1937, the general direction of the Bama route was determined: Taishet - Bratsk - the northern tip of Baikal - Tyandinsky - Ust-Nymn - Komsomolsk-on-Amur - Soviet harbor. In May 1938, the bamblands were disbanded and six rails were created at its base. In 1938, the construction of the Western plot from Taishet to Bratsk began, and in 1939 - preparatory work on the eastern plot from Komsomolsk-on-Amur to the Soviet harbor.

In January 1942, by the decision of the State Defense Committee, the Tynda area built by this time was removed the tracks and bridge farms for the construction of a railway line Stalingrad - Saratov - Syzran - Ulyanovsk (Volzhskaya Rockada).

In June 1947, it continued (mainly by the prisoners of the Amur ITL (Amurgy)) the construction of the eastern plot of Komsomolsk-on-Amur - Urgal. Before disbanding Amurona (in April 1953), embankments were mounded on the entire site, the paths were laid, bridges were built on the Komsomolsk-2 plot - Birch (postyshevo). The site was operated by the Komsomol United Economic Department of Railway Transport, the office and the depot of which were located in the village of Khurmuli Komsomol district. Plot Komsomolsk-on-Amur - Soviet Harbor was commissioned in 1945, and the movement of trains on Taishet-Bratsk - Ust-Kut (Lena) opened in 1950. Below is a card, where the Baikal Amur highway is marked green, against the background of the Trans-Siberian highway


In 1967, the decision of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR was published, and design work was resumed. Decree of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR dated July 8, 1974 "On the construction of the Baikal-Amur Railway Railway", the necessary means were allocated for the construction of the first category of Ust-Kut (Lena) - Komsomolsk-on-Amur with a length of 3145 km, the second path of Tayshet - Ust-Kut (Lena) - 680 km, lines Bam - Tynda and Tynda - Berkakit - 397 km.


In April 1974, he was announced by the All-Union Shock Komsomol Construction, sent here a mass of young people for internships.
In 1977, the BAM line was commissioned in permanent operation, and in 1979 the Tynda line - Berkakit. The main part of the road was built for more than 12 years - from April 5, 1972 to October 27, 1984, and on November 1, 1989, the entire new three-thousand metering plot of the highway was put into continuous operation in the volume of the start-up complex. The longest north-Mussian tunnel in Russia (15,343 meters), the construction of which began in May 1977, was pierced until the end in March 2001 and was commissioned in permanent operation in December 2003.


Such a large-scale construction was for only the Great Power, with its colossal economic power and resources. In ensuring the construction, all necessary participating 60 sectors of the national economy, hundreds of enterprises and projects, design and scientific organizations in Leningrad and Chelyabinsk, Novosibirsk and Rostov, Nikopol and Blagoveshchensk. Bams are rightly called friendship and fraternity track. She was built by representatives of 70 nationalities of the USSR. The general scheme of the regional planning of the area of \u200b\u200binfluence of the Bama, which takes into account the regional features of the track, specific factors of the economic development of the territories adjacent to it, as well as the multinational features of architectural and planning decisions, the construction art of all the republics participating in the arrangement of the highway are developed. Tynda, Neryungri, Severobaykalsk - the largest cities along the route - were built precisely on the master plans. As a result, each appeared his appearance, their special architectural "accents". However, as well as every new thing, the Baikal Amur Highway aroused interest in environmental issues. Virgin Nature demanded a careful relationship. After all, a subtle natural organism, balanced by millennia, especially fragile in the conditions of permafrost, high seismicity and low temperatures.


A mighty technique facing armament of builders was important to apply reasonably, carefully and skillfully that the industrial power of the Bama organically combined with natural landscape, air purity, transparency of rivers and lakes. Extreme terms of the route demanded new scientific and technical and engineering and production solutions. Here, for the first time in world practice, a fundamentally new design of the foundations of the supports of the bridges was created, a number of new ideas were implemented in the tuning industry, the technologies of dumping of the earth canvas and drilling work in the conditions of permafrost, modern methods of struggle with faces appeared. The highway passed through the territory of the region in the northern rich in natural resources areas. Near it is explored and transferred to the development of the freest deposit of brown coal. In Zean and Tyndinsky districts - rich gold-bearing placer, on the basis of which dozens of powerful drag work. Forests spread out on millions of hectares, the overall operational reserves of which exceed one billion cubic meters. Mastering all natural resources And serve Baikal Amur Highway. There, wherever earlier Evenk-hunter used to achieve, where only occasionally, geologists were attached to helicopters, woke the Taiga of the heat carrier, residential villages rose. Previously, the southern areas of the Amur region tied up with the North highway Ayam (Amuro-Yakut Highway), coming from a big nevertal on Transsib to Chulman. And this thin transport stream replaced the "full-flowing river" by name Bam


The Baikal Amur Highway is one of the largest railway highways in the world. The construction of the main part of the railway, which took place in complex geological and climatic conditions, took over 12 years, and one of the most complex sites - the North-Misk Tunnel - was introduced into permanent operation only in 2003

The North-German Range was one of the most difficult sites of Bama. Before the opening of the North Tunnel, the train followed the bypass railway branch, laid through the ridge. The first option of bypassing a length of 24.6 km was constructed in 1982 - 1983; With its construction, biases of up to 40 thousandths were allowed (that is, up to 40 meters of lifting per kilometer distance). By virtue of this, only cargo trains in several wagons could follow this line; The movement of passenger trains was forbidden (through the passage of people they were engaged on buses)


In 1985 - 1989, a new bypass branch was built with a length of 54 km long, consisting of numerous steep serpentines, high viaducts and two loop tunnels (old bypass was subsequently disassembled). Fame received the "Black Bridge" - Viaduct in a cool turn on a slope through the Valley of the ITCT river valley, standing on bunk supports. The composition was forced to wavy between the hills, moving with maximum speed 20 km / h and risking to get under the gathering of avalanche. On the lifts arose the need to push the composition with auxiliary locomotives. The site demanded high costs for the maintenance of the path and ensuring traffic safety. On the photo of the damn bridge


The construction of the tunnel across the ridge took over 25 years. The first train on the tunnel was held on December 21, 2001, but in continuous operation, the tunnel was adopted only on December 5, 2003. The total length of the mountain generation of the tunnel is 45 km; Along the length of the tunnel, the production of smaller diameter is used to pump water, placement of engineering systems and delivery of technical personnel. Ventilation is provided by three vertical shafts. The safety of trains through the tunnel provides, among other things, the system of seismic, radiation control. To maintain a microclimate in a tunnel on both portals, a special gate is installed, opened only to train. Engineering systems of the tunnel are managed by a special automated system developed in the Design and Technological Institute of Computational Technology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences


Along with the tunnel, in working condition, the Northways are maintained - it is expected that it can be used in the event of a cargo flow through the bar.


A lot of trains walk along the Baikal Amur Highway. Below the timetable of trains Bama


In 2007, the government approved the plan, according to which the construction of "capillary" branches to mineral deposits is planned. It was also decided to make a decision on the construction of the crossing in the form of a Sakhalin tunnel or a bridge.


In 2009, the reconstruction of the Komsomolsk-on-Amur site began - the Soviet harbor (Far Eastern Railway) with the construction of a new Kuznetsov tunnel, it is planned to be completed in 2016. The total cost of the project is 59.8 billion rubles. These work will increase the speed of trains, which will entail an increase in throughput and transportable ability, and will also enable increase in the weight rate of trains on a plot from 3600 to 5600 tons


According to the Strategy-2030, the volume of investments in the BAM will be about 400 billion rubles. 13 new railway lines with a total length of about 7 thousand kilometers will be built. This is first of all such cargo-forming lines like Lena - Nepa - Lensk, Hani - Olekminsk, New Chara - Apsatskaya, New Chara - China, Shimanovskaya - Gar - February, Ulak - Elginsky deposit. The construction of the last branch is already in full swing private investors

BAM - One of the largest railway highways in the world.
Taishet's path - the Soviet harbor is 4287 km. And built with big breaks since 1938 to 1984. Currently, the BAM works at the limit of bandwidth. The length of the main path of Tayshet - the Soviet harbor Bam passes the north of the route of the Trans-Siberian highway and shorter it is 500 km. How it was..

The highway route is mainly in the mountainous terrain, including through the Fed Highlands, cutting the seven mountain ranges. The highest point of the path is Mururinsky Pass (1323 meters above sea level); Steep slopes when entering this pass require the use of double thrust and weight limitations.

Ten tunnels are broken on the road track, among them the most extended North-Misk Tunnel in Russia. The longest north-Mussian tunnel in Russia (15,343 meters), the construction of which began in May 1977, was pierced until the end in March 2001 and was commissioned in permanent operation in December 2003.

The road route crosses 11 major rivers, there are 2230 large and small bridges on it. The highway passes more than 40 railway stations and travelings, more than 60 cities and villages.

The cost of construction of the BAMA in the prices of 1991 amounted to 17.7 billion rubles., Thus, the BAM became the most expensive infrastructure project in the history of the USSR.

The Russian Technical Society discussed the project of ESH in 1888. Colonel of the General Staff N. A. Voloshinov with a small detachment overcame the milk rue from Ust-Kuta to Mui, just on the places where the battle route was now. And came to the conclusion that construction is impossible. At that time, the technology was not.

In Soviet times, intelligence was carried out by the military. In 1926, a separate building of the RKKK railway troops began to conduct topographic exploration of the future highway Bama. In 1932 (April 13), the decision of the USSR SNC "On the construction of the Baikal-Amur Railway" was published. Then the war and it became not the road.

In 1967, design and survey work was resumed. In April 1974, BAM was announced by the All-Union Trick Komsomol Construction. Young people went to the Bam. On this occasion, there were jokes, like a comic decryption acronym Bam - "Brezhnev Abmans Youth."

And the harsh weekdays began! Imported equipment for the most complex sites was purchased.

On the path of Bama initially planned to build nine or even eleven territorial-industrial giants complexes, but while only one is built - the South Yakut coal complex, including the Neryungrin coal section.

On September 29, 1984, a meeting of Alexander Bondar and Ivan Warsaw on the Rabocht, October 1 at the Kuanda station, was solemnly laid "golden" link; Both parts of the road are connected to a single whole.

In 2007, the Government approved the plan, according to which the construction of "capillary" branches to mineral deposits is planned. It was also decided to make a decision on the construction of the crossing in the form of a Sakhalin tunnel or a bridge.

The weather there is harsh, has been in those edges. And lived and served.
