The city of Yakutsk can be reached in four ways- by airplane, car, water transport and combined way (railway and road transport). By rail, it's impossible to reach it yet. The railway station, located on the opposite bank of the Lena River in the village of Upper Bestyah, is still under construction and the passenger message is not open. The first way is by air. The city has a large international airport, flights fly from many major cities of the country. Earlier, the plane was the most expensive way to get to the city, but recently the cost of air tickets has fallen sharply and you can buy a ticket for adequate money (10-11 thousand rubles). The second way is by car. The city is led by the federal road M56 "Lena". Almost on its entire length it is a soil one, with the exception of cities. Calculate the distance between gas stations. On this route they are found only in large settlements. Look in advance at the road atlas where they are. There are no bridges across the Lena River in the Yakutsk district - cars are transported by ferry in the summer, and in winter they cross the river along the ice crossing. There is an off-season period when the crossing is closed. Usually you can not cross the river on the ice crossing from the middle of April, and the first ferry begins to walk at the end of May. With an ice breaker, the ferry crossing can be extended until October, but it is difficult to get to it. The ice crossing is officially opened at the end of December, but the first desperate drivers cross in November. The third way to get to Yakutsk is by water transport. This is the most inconvenient way to get to the city from the central regions. The traffic on the river is irregular. It makes sense only if you get to Yakutia from the Irkutsk region. The fourth way is the railway and motor transport. In South Yakutia there are regular trains from Moscow and Khabarovsk. It is most convenient to reach the Neryungri, Aldan or Berkakit stations by train, then from Yakutsk take a shuttle bus between these cities and Yakutsk. Be prepared for a tedious journey. In summer, it is hot and dusty on this route, in winter it is cold.
