In 2017, the Nenets Autonomous Area will receive 496.2 million rubles' worth of federal funding for its road construction projects. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has signed the relevant instruction, according to a post on the Area's government agencies website. The above sum will make it possible to complete the fourth section of the Naryan-Mar-Usinsk road, which will link the Area with the Komi Republic.

In late December 2015, the road construction and resurfacing company Naryan-Mar Dorremstroi started building the fourth section of the Naryan-Mar-Usinsk road. The road-bed and drainage pipes are currently being installed, and a permanent bridge is being built across the Kharyakha River.

The Nenets Autonomous Area is the only mainland Russian region that lacks access to federal motorways. The unfinished Syktyvkar-Naryan-Mar road, including its above-mentioned fourth section, is expected to solve this problem. It will take an estimated ten billion rubles to complete the entire Naryan-Mar-Usinsk road.
