Everything about Amur Cart Road totally explained
Amur Cart Road or
Amur Wheel Road (
Russian: Аму́рская колёсная доро́га or "Аму́рская колесу́ха",
tr.:
Amurskaya kolesukha) was a 2,000
km cartage road in
Amur Oblast of
Imperial Russia that connected
Khabarovsk with
Blagoveshchensk through mostly uninhabited areas of
taiga and swamps.
The road was built during
1898–
1909 with nearly exclusive usage of
katorga labor. It was praised as a success in its use of
penal labor, claiming that no other country had any prison labor project comparable in scale. In
1905 over 700 convicts were simultaneously at work on the road. In this respect it was unsurpassed in the
Gulag system of the
Soviet Union.
