Road From Vladivostok to Chita
Wow getting info into this area is tricky as I am having trouble finding up to date road maps for the area from Vladivostok to Chita. Net resorces are not helping me much I have mostly gathered my info from google earth (roughly 3 or 4 years old) and from travel stories from people on this site who have done the trip. One thing I notice is every story skips the nightmare navigation of this huge area, the things i read about talk about a new road from Kharborovsk to Chita supposedly finished by 2008. Apon another Google Earth scan i found a direct huge dirt road running close to the Trans-Siberian railline and photos all showing brand new bitumen and bridges.
My Question is can anyone who has run this new road confirm how much of it is complete and the basic route it takes. From what i make out is a Highway starting from near Obluchye to about 200km northwest of Svobodnyy, and a fairly clear marked route I could follow to Chita. Plan to get a map from vladivostok when I get there, as I am having trouble finding a good map resorce in Australia. Planning to be up that way late May 2008 see how we go
Any info on this road would be much appreciated! Cheers
